i have hard time trusting people and hard time opening up but i think i like the way i am cause i get to protect myself a lot, but at times i wish i had someone to trust and share my secrets with and it makes me sad and lonely but something tells me not to trust anyone and keep things myself because i feel like if i do share things with other people i end up getting hurt like i always do what should i do about this trust issue? its really hurting me but at the same time im okay with it when people ask me personal questions i just think they just trying to get information or they gonna blab it to someone else so i always lie AND i always think people are lying to me, it hurts when people confide me with their secrets and problems but i cant do the same to others

stupid references aside, I took a lot of hits in my life. I'm lonely and don't confide in anybody either. you can keep up this course, like I do, tell the world how you feel with the possibility of getting hurt, or just not give a damn. keeping this shit bottled up has hurt my friends, my family, my career, possibly even my unit and my country. I'm trying to get help, but its fucking hard, harder than assaulting an enemy position, harder than staring death in the face, and harder than watching your friends die needlessly for a godforsaken plot of rock and dirt. that urge to keep to yourself and not fuck up the present feng shue is going to consume you. do something about it.

JustJessOx answered Friday June 5 2009, 3:23 pm: I totally understand what you are saying,you are right in a way to be aware of who you tell things too and trust thats a good thing but you need not be too over protective try to loosen up abit and try not being so parionied.
just be careful of WHAT you tell to people not who it is. distunguish what you think is okay to tell and what you feel is best kept to yourself
because no matter how much you think you trust a person people back bite sometimes without even realising and stuff gets around so you are right to be careful just dont be overly careful or you will end up pushing people away,you need to find a balance.
I agree with the previous answer below me in saying all you need is one very close friend or family member whom you feel you can really trust =]
hope i helped in anyway

Not be able to trust many people is not an issue. It has more good qualities than bad. I tell everyone everything and it comes back to bite me. I learned from that and there are only a couple people that I trust. My best friend only trusts me and one other person. You never know in life who you can really trust until you really really know them. I would say to you, do not worry about it. Just find one person that you can trust because you do need to express your feelings. So all you need is ONE person to do that. I hope I helped :)
