Trusting someone whether it be just them as a person, friend, or partner, can be very hard after being cheated on or lied to. It will take a lot of time for you to let down your guard again, which is completely understandable. I personally think that over time you'll have to let yourself believe that not all people will treat you the same way as this or that person, especially the person who cheated or lied to you.

I try to forgive and forget. Sometimes, however, giving someone a second chance is like allowing a murderer to reload their gun since they missed you the first time.

If you decide to give the other person a chance to make things right, they need to show you over time that they won't repeat the same mistakes. Small consistent actions can go a long way, but it will probably take time for you to let your guard down, and that's ok. Don't be too hard on yourself and accept that this is a process . And most importantly, make sure they are serious about doing their best not to hurt you again, words are not enough.

It's brave to trust again. Have enough courage to find love again and again and again. You are always enough.

I've came to the conclusion myself that, everyone is different. Also, not everyone behaves the same way. So even though I've been cheated on by one person, doesn't mean the next would do the same as well. And trust, is something that is built between two people and also takes time. Just think that whatever happens will happen, regardless of anything.

Realise that not every person is the same and it's okay to put yourself out there and trust someone again.

There's no easy way, because once trust is broken it's hard to trust not only the person who cheated on you but the next person you become involved with, but with time things will get better and the right person will make you want to open your heart again and give them a chance! good luck!

First of all you have to decide if you want to trust the person. Some people might not be worth keeping in your life. But if you do choose to trust someone, you need to let them know that it takes time. The heart can easily be broken, but fixing it takes much longer.

Just remember that every person and experience is unique. There are both terrible and wonderful things in abundance in our universe, and it's also all a matter of perspective. Don't put yourself in a bad situation if you can avoid it, but don't be too afraid to take chances, either! If you need to start building trust in a new relationship, begin with little things and work your way up from there. We risk hurt and disappointment every day, even in our own internal worlds. Remember: nothing ventured, nothing gained!

It all depends on your will. Give yourself time to heal. It's usually our mind manipulating us to not believe in the good. So I'll suggest you to distance yourself from those thoughts! I hope that helped! :)
