Nonny ... we're all going to die, we all have problems, and most people will never find you important enough to care what your vulnerabilities are. You deprive yourself by hiding.

The reasonable way to find out who's trustworthy and worth confiding is gradually. You tell them some not-terribly-damaging things and see what they do. If they try to fuck you over with it, they don't get any more sensitive information. But that's also how you find out who won't try to use stuff against you.

Also - in a lot of situations, trust is not an all-or-nothing thing. The better you get to know people, the more you understand what they're good at and bad at, and what things they can't be reasonable about. You know when to trust them, and with what.

Very kind & true.

Also, it's 100% fine and in fact a good idea to treat a new therapist somewhat like this - a therapist who's a good match for you will be able to challenge your thoughts without dismissing, rushing, or making a lot of wrong assumptions about you. If you go to a therapist and feel like your small risks of trust aren't being rewarded, you can ditch them and get another!

(That said, *most* of the time when a therapist is a bad fit, it's just because their intuitions are so out of line with yours that they want to solve a different problem than the one you have, and it's a little too much effort correcting them, not because they are actually trying to hurt you.)

I'm sorry, anon. It sounds like your trust was badly betrayed at some point, and that you were cruelly hurt. It's understandable that you would erect strong walls after that, even to the point of making them impenetrable.

But remember who you are. Would you betray someone's trust? Would you use someone's vulnerabilities against them? Likely not. There are other people like you, and it can sometimes be hard to find them, but it's worth the effort. We're social creatures; life is better when we're able to act that way.

That is part of the problem. When the only person you can trust to look after you, is you; everyone else starts to look like either someone out to hurt you or someone you have to use to ensure you survive or others cannot hurt you. Use them, push them away, make sure you keep people at a distance so you don't feel like a heel when you inevitably have to use them or hurt them to keep you alive.

Is this what jude law's character is about? I don't know which episodes where out when you wrote this, OP, but we have a totally differed read of the guy.

[(Anonymous)]

I posted this before the finale episode, but yeah the finale literally makes that subtext the actual text. It is exactly the read on Jod.

I've not seen the final ep yet but please not another little mew mew x_X

I need to start watching the show. I like Jude Law, but I'm tired of a lot of extended lore to [X] franchise that Disney owns.
But I relate a lot to being distant and shutting people out and I like depiction of people who struggle with letting people in.

I hope you do go to therapy Secret OP, and work on your trust issues.

It will not be something where you find a moment to start trusting the "right" people and you will never be betrayed again. It will be a lot of slow and hard work, coping with negative feelings, giving others chances, evaluating what kind of a person you are and who you want to be, and just constant work.
But it will be so worth it to find people whose good outweigh their shortcomings. Who are also flawed but willing to accept you for being your flawed self.

I still struggle a lot with opening up to people, but getting onto the path of learning to work on my flaws and fears, and letting people into my life, it's helped a lot with anxiety and building a stronger (though still small) community.

There are no cameos of any note, there might be a pirate whose been in the show before or it could just be costume/makeup reuse, but they have no speaking lines of note. You're pretty much safe from any major lore dumps beyond Jedis existed, but Order 66 happened but not name checked as such, and there are X-wings in three episodes. That is literally all the Star Wars pre knowledge you need.
