Is it normal to not trust anyone & always feel like someone will betray you

I don't trust anyone, I always feel like they're going to betray me or hurt me somehow. i always keep my feelings and problems bottled up and to myself, everytime i decide to trust someone and tell them something they would go and tell other people and it hurts to know that someone you thought you could trust is just spreading things that you wouldn't want anyone else to know especially if it was so hard to even trust and tell them. I don't even talk to most of my relatives because i feel like they're all fake and will somehow hurt me too.

    This is why, talking to people online, can be better than talking to people you know. Someone, online, is a stranger, doesn't know you and can't talk to other people about you :)

    They say that the one person you'll have for you whole life is yourself, so of course, in some way people will leave/"abandon" you. Remember this and think, is it worth keeping all this to myself just to not get hurt at the end? Of course you'll get hurt in one way or another, but the journey there may be completely worth it! Take a leap of faith, little by little and maybe if you believe more in people they'll keep your secret more willingly. Good luck :)

    I feel the same way. Its not really healthy, but seems more wise then letting them know anything. This is partly my reason for hating people questioning me about things. I just feel like any bit of information I share could somehow get twisted and turned.

    Everyone will eventually hurt you or betray your trust but if you try to keep to yourself after awhile you will realize that you haven't lived life at all. Nothing ventured, nothing gained

    Story of my life.
    I don't trust anyone either, maybe it's some sort of self-preservation instinct.

    People can't tell what they don't know. So simply don't give anyone any sensitive information.

    I am sorry they betrayed your trust so easily. It might be hard to trust again, but I assure you, not everyone is like that. I hope you find someone someday that you can trust again and won't go blabbing to everyone they know about what you tell them.
