Is it normal to be untrusting of people?

I've been betrayed quite frequently by people and it's done something to me because I feel like I can't have any friends anymore because I just don't trust people anymore.

Also, should I get help?

  • It's normal, and no, you don't need any help. I've been betrayed too, lots of times. Now that I've kept myself away from "friends" things are going a lot better.

  • I wish I knew, I'm in the same boat. I have no "start over" left. Maybe we just need a long break.

    Same here. I'm pretty picky though. But I
    Like spending time with just my boyfriend.

    I feel the same, especially with the opposite sex. Its pretty sad.

    Yes, if it gets really bad(and it probably will) speaking with someone about it would be a good idea. Its better than isolation.

    I hate to say it but you have to hold back sometimes and protect yourself. I wish everything was honest and open, but people aren't always honest and open.

    You don't need help. Just look after yourself around people who don't have your best interests at heart.
