How do you begin to trust again after being cheated on or lied to?

Take small steps, find who you are and make sure to not sacrifice you and your values for anyone, it's okay to be nervous about trusting again, so take it little bit by little bit

Building trust again is a slow and very personal process. When someone destroys your trust, it is often difficult not only to regain trust for this specific person, but also towards all people in general. Often it is best to slowly open up to people and be honest with them that it is not difficult for you to develop trust, as well as surrounding yourself with people who understand your situation and do not push you to open up faster than you are comfortable with. It's also important to be patient and understanding with yourself and recognize your progress, however slow it is.

It helps me to remember that each person is different; I hold each individual accountable for their own actions. If my ex cheated on me or lied to me, it doesn't mean my new partner will. If I sincerely felt I could not trust someone, I would not be in a relationship with them. That could be because of what I notice about them, maybe they seem to hide things from me. Or maybe it's because of me, my insecurities. So I begin by trusting myself. I trust that I can handle it if a relationship doesn't turn out well. Someone else cheating on or lying to me was their decision, not mine. I trust that I am worth more than being cheated on and lied to. I trust that I will be able to recover from the pain, even if it takes time. I trust that I will be able to surround myself with people who feel good to be around. I trust that you can, too.
