Venting Betrayal

[oofuf]

Do you also find it hard to open up to people because of how many times you've been betrayed by people you trusted?

It just happened to me again.
And it really hurt.

I can't say I've experienced this myself (mainly because I don't open up) but the sheer number of times I've heard people say it's the case for them makes me realise how depraved society is, where simply keeping a promise to someone, someone struggling at that, is too difficult for some people to apparently do.

I'm sorry to hear that this is how things are for you.

I wish I wouldn't open myself up to other people so easily. Or more like, fucking overshare. I'm just so alone. But I don't trust other ppl enough to actively seek out friendships. My life basically changed and if I think about it, became a nightmare when someone related to me that was extremely close to me betrayed my mother in the worst way possible. then the rest of my family betrayed us.

I'm so sorry you ran into yet another shitty person. Betrayal is a deep kind of pain. For me it almost feels like a burning in my chest thinking about it.

yes. i've been shy all my life but in approaching people first. whenever someone approaches me for friendship or a relationship i used to be very very open with them, to my own detriment. long story short, i've been betrayed by many friends and have closed myself off more and more with each one. now i'm at the place where i don't trust anybody.

i'm very sorry to hear what you're going through. i hope you find your people one day.

Yeah, I'm pretty much done opening up to anyone besides strangers on the internet. The pain isn't worth it anymore.
