Trust problem

After being deceived by close friends I have serious trust problems. I can't even talk with somebody without doubts. I feel like I have forgotten how to communicate! Now I am moving to a different city and I don't want to be completely alone! I feel weak and I can't take another deception. Have you ever gone through such kind of situation? Do you have any suggestions? Am I normal? Thanks a lot in advance!

    I don't want to come across as a stone cold cynic but maybe you were too trusting, as much as I might admire the sentiment if you trust everyone you're going to end up hurt, because a lot of people are cunts

    I'm not saying don't trust anyone not at all, I'm saying maybe be selective in who you trust, this feeling will pass, when you've been deceived by someone and especially by someone close it can devastate your sense of judgement and you can go through this kind of phase, it's totally normal but maybe this was a wake up call, one a lot of people myself included have to take in which you realise you have to take steps to protect yourself in future

    You can't blindly trust everyone but you also can't live life waiting to be fucked over, it's a delicate balance and one that's different for different people, I hope you work it out

    I feel ya there. I used to be part of a clique of women and there was some stupid drama which lead to a breakup of friendship with three of them at once. Ugh. It was awful!

    Oh well, I'm not the clique type anyway, especially with lots of other chicks. It was a difficult time, but I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Of course my favorite female friend today is actually this brilliant woman who came out to me as transgendered a few months after we got tight, c'est la vie. I love her and accept her as she is, she's always a woman to me.

    You can continue on, letting something in your past direct your actions, or you can stop letting it influence your life.
    Your choice, plain and simple.

    I've lost trust in people as well, quite a while ago, in my late teens, I guess. I thought it was just a part of growing up.

    You might not like it at first, but being distrustful can save you a lot of trouble. Instead of learning to trust again I'd rather try to live with a lack of trust.
