Trust is like glass, once broken, it's not easy to put the pieces back together. While some people find it easy to trust people even when they don't know them too well, others find it hard to trust anyone.
Usually it's because they have been hurt greatly before. If you once put your trust in someone and they broke it, you will start doubting people. This is especially if the person who broke your trust was close to you.
It could have been a best friend that betrayed you, a relative that hurt you, or someone close who did something to you that was hard to believe. Either way, trust was broken and it can be hard to trust them again.
When you are betrayed you will always be fearful that the next person will do the same to you. A perfect example is in relationships that go really wrong. The person that is hurt finds it hard to love again.
It takes a lot to trust someone. If you lose your faith in them, it's even harder to rebuild the trust you once had in them. Things change and your relationship with that person is not as it was before.
It's even worse if trauma was involved. When you don't heal from the trauma, it affects you even when you move on. It gets between you and your future relationships. You have a hard time trusting the people around you.
You feel that they may hurt you the way someone else did. You look at people the same way even when their intentions are good and they don't want to hurt you. Remember, not everyone will be out to break you again.
Some people are there to heal you from what broke you and put those pieces back together. Here are trust quotes that will inspire and encourage you.
