Is it normal to be afraid of feeling ...

Hi, I have been very trusting throughout my life despite people betraying me( best friends,boyfriends,even my own sisters) thinking it happens to everyone and happening to me just because I have high expectations. I worked on it for some time and was doing much better and was with a great guy. I didn't expect anything but truth and love from him and he let me down.he married a girl he barely liked who happened to be one who hated my guts.it devastated me and was the last straw in the long chain of betrayals.now I am afraid of feeling or showing my feelings too much. I'm afraid of being hurt so much that I have created this barrier of cynicism. I'm just not willing to go through such intense feelings of love again lest I get hurt. My friends say I have to let go,but Its too difficult

    You must demand a level of quality in you relationships that surpassed not getting hurt by the other. Fo you feel you deserve to hurt? Seriously? If do look at why. Not superficially, but think about it awhile
