Re: Confessions

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think I know how to trust people.

I never had a safe, stable environment with a loving family back home. People would tell me they loved me and then hurt me at my most vulnerable, both physically and emotionally. I basically have no relationship with any family members, except for an occasional text with a sibling.

I know how I come off to people, not very open and all. Willing to have a conversation, but not much beyond that. I don't mean to be so closed off because I know this is affecting my ability to make friends. At the same time, my life is so boring and full of nothing that people tend to lose interest anyway.

I'm not trying to blame anybody... it just is what it is.

I'm sorry to hear that, anon. Have you tried out therapy at all? It could be of help.

Re: Confessions

Thanks. I've thought about it but haven't tried "for real," I guess. My "therapy" consists of reading advice columns, walking on the beach and self-reflecting.

It's not that I don't believe in regular therapy, but I will admit an unusual aversion to it. Mostly because an abusive parental unit always used it as a threat when I couldn't get myself together to their satisfaction. (Of course the irony is that back then it might have been helpful to the point I might have seen through family's bullshit and gotten away soon.)

That's understandable--I've got a bit of an aversion myself, and you've got a very valid reason! Still, you could keep it in mind, and also remember that everyone is in a different place along the "spectrum of trust": some people are naturally very trusting, some are naturally very *NOT* trusting, and it all balances out. If it's bothering you/limiting your relationship, try to push yourself a little to go beyond your comfort zone--people, in general, are good sorts who will try to do right by you and accept you the way you are!
