Will i ever be able to believe anyone?

I have been through so much in my life, and that's caused be to have major trust issues. No matter how many times someone will make a promise to me, or tell me to trust them... I can't believe them. Its so hard because I'm so paranoid and think the people I am closest to are lying to me and don't really like me. This is getting so hard, its almost impossible to make friends, and it upsets me so much because I find it hard to believe my boyfriend actualy wants to be with me!

You have to be wlling as hard as it is to open yourself up and trust. You see whatever we focus on expands and it you are telling the universe that you can't trust, then that is exactly what will keep happening. Why dont you try and experiment? People are not perfect but when we find the really bad apples it is because we are vibing something at some level and we attract that. I know because I've had many many bad experiences and closed myself up. But now I CHOOSE who I want around me to be in my life. My circle is small but it is a good solid one!!! Good luck.

I used to have counselling, just about what happened but I stopped going because it got me more and more depressed. But no help on trust.

Welcome!

For starters, have you tried anything, like therapy...to help you deal with your past issues and problems with trust?  If so, what was the outcome?
