Is it normal that i find it extremely hard to trust people?

I find it very hard to trust people. I always know that it will eventually go down the drain and all the things said/done will get out of hand. I have trusted people before and every single time it has hit back at me every time. It has gotten to the point where I don't trust my family and I don't trust the people around me. Will it just subside or have I got emotional scarring? Thank you in advance. :)
(Sorry for the multiple questions!)

    You have every right to feel the way you feel;trust is something that is earned.

    I know how you feel.I have been betrayed by friend's,boyfriend's.I have a hard time with trusting people to.All I can say is go with your gut feeling on how you feel around a friend or new friend.Go off vibes you get off a person.I hope your bad luck changes with people.It's hard to trust.We live in a time were people are out for themselves.

    Same here, I was sexually assaulted once, so now I'm wary if I'm around an older man who's not married and doesn't have kids, because those are often the type who are sexually attracted to younger women and girls. So yeah, it's normal to feel that way if someone has broken your trust in any way.

    It is normal

    Maybe somebody caused you to be like that.

    Like the person above me said, trust is earned. But you can't let the things that others have done to you ruin your chances of being happy or developing a relationship with another person. Without trust, you can't have anything.

    Me too! Some of it is protective some of it is insecurity

    We have to decipher between the two

    It's normal. But you should trust your family and close friends. You have to trust someone or you'll go crazy.
