Nerve Dating Confessions

April 29, 6:59AM I don't know how to trust anyone - not friends, not my parents, and especially not romantic partners. All I know is that no one is ever really there when I need them. CAN RELATE (6) CAN'T RELATE (0) FLAG FOR ABUSE

do you need them to help you when things go wrong? We depend too much on others to make everything ok and don't know how to be autonomous. ACtually when you listen to your own voice on what is right for you..alot of the those "people" who you think care--don't really at all. Sorry for your pain though ;( it sucks I know.

The thing about the experince you're going through is, you have to know what it's like to not be able to trust anyone, to be able to truly value those people who you learn you can trust. If all you ever know is trustable people, what reference point to do have to truly know how valuble those people are, instead of just taking them for granted? There are plenty of trustable people in the world, but it all starts with yourself. As 'lei' said, becomign autonomous means relying less on others, and learning to trust yourself. When you can trust yourself, you can be trusted by others. When you can be trusted by others, then you're going to run across people who can be trusted. Like attracts like.
