Is this the one who's been self destructing?
I'm sorry gibsy. I'm not sure this is the case, although it probably does feel like it but I'm sure you won't be judged about your past as much as it feels like you might. Those people don't even know you, they're probably not likely to pass too much judgement
Try not to let it affect your trust too much (which I realise is easier said than done). There's still good people out there, and speaking from experience, isolating yourself won't help
That's the one. Yeah the first thing in my mind is "fuck this, never trusting anyone again", but ultimately that's the wrong option. I can't let a shitty experience stop me from an important part of relationships with people. I'll just have to be much, much more observant of people before I discuss certain topics.
And totally agree about the self isolating. I do that too and it never works out well in the long run.
