How are supposed to trust anyone when everyone you have trusted has abandoned you at your worst? How does anyone expect to bring out the best if all they can do is judge there afterwards?
@wrathofjiujitsu Please note that this thread is no longer answered by a professional.
Not being able to trust anyone is a difficult problem, but the solution is probably different for each person. If it's possible for you to talk to a professional about it, then you'll be able to explore how you can improve things in your particular case.
You could also chat to listeners here about those times when you were abandoned or judged by people you trusted. Doing that might help you gradually to make sense of it all.

Hi sarah i thinki need your suggestion. So I'm a quiet person, I've been quiet since I was in kindergarten lol . Maybe it's because I don't socialize with the people around me so I'm being quiet kid. I live with my father and my grandmother and they are also quiet people. Since childhood I never socialized with my mother's relatives because my mother had left me so my father and mother's family relationship was not good, my father's family also rarely got together because my father's siblings lived far away. my father was never strict with me, I didn't know what to do,example when I was little my aunt who had a mental disorder beat me from the age of 9-12 years and my grandmother who knowing it just let it be. Even when I did something wrong no one told me. I felt that even though I had a place to live and could go to school I felt neglected. I was shunned by friends because I was fat, I was bullied because I was brown, the stereotype of people around me was that if I was brown, I was ugly. People who are rich, have normal families (no members family has mental disorders) and are skinny always bully me. It's normal but I'm always alone when that happens, I feel that I don't deserve to live, life feels so hard and people's insults feel like a knife stabs me, the stab wound never healed. I still feel pain. People who support injured people are like bandages, this doesn't heal wounds but it helps the body to heal these wounds. I don't have this bandage, I've been looking for it but I think I'm destined to feel this pain forever. So how do I turn my sensitive and innocent self into an assertive and extroverted person? I need to change my self . Sorry for bad English i'm not English
I am 15 and it just feels like people are throwing stone's at me
do You have any tips on how to start being more of a positive person. I’m seeing my depression, negativity and low confidence is affecting my marriage and my husband and I want to start working on myself.

How to know is my boyfriend is really in love with me, or is he using me? :( I am under stress nonstop.

Hi Sarah, what would you advise a person to do when they’re dysregulated? I’ve been trying everything from deep breathing, distractions, affirmations, walks, online yoga for ptsd, eft, acupuncture, massage. I’m not exactly consistent as I find myself getting triggered over & over again. This has been going on for months straight now. The worst ever. Thanks for your advice in advance.

@SarahGeorgeMA
Hi Sarah, I feel like I've lost my motivation to do anything, I'm a high school student outside of the US and we just finished a long vacation.
I made a self-improvement list before the vacation started, but it's coming to an end in a few days. I realized that I didn't do anything during those days...
Now I feel good as I just talk with a great listener! I'd like to ask how I can keep my future days, both school days and vacation days productive so that I can actually achieve my reasonable goals.
Thank you so much!
