Just here to read the advice, always some good stuff in here. I personally can't offer any, I thought I was doing well putting the past behind me, but you know the saying..........
You take 1 step forward, and then somebody comes along, that puts you 10 steps back.

waiting...exactly!

We have to trust ourselves. Take the time to learn, grow... yes, it's painful. Many people choose not to, and carry the past with them every day. Worried about who is going to mess up their life next. They miss this moment!

I am in charge of MY life and I am certain the best is yet to come.

Give people a chance, you maybe happily suprised. If disappointed, learn...

I have trouble with those walls, but I'm not going to get what I want if I allow them to remain.

Even the most loving partner will hurt us, I will hurt who I love...

We are human. The ability to forgive ourselves and others makes love and life worth it.

I know this may sound stupid and cold-hearted but I have learned just to harden my heart so shit like that won't get to me. A sad way to live life I guess but at least I won't let what a guy does to me get me down. I trust no man but God and my daddy.
I'm pretty much a cold-hearted b*tch when you get right down to the nut cutting or so I've been told but it works for me.

Good Luck with your situation

Why live in the past ? life goes on no matter what
one man did to you.

just because you were done wrong by one man doesn't mean
another one is going to let you down.

remember you get what you ask for, so pick n choose the
best for you and your trust will be there.

I'm told it takes time. So I'm hoping my time comes soon. Can't rush it. Keep on comunacating. Share your feelings with good friends. Maybe you'll catch the eye of someone whos looking and trusting and confident enough to take a chance with you.
Be true to yourself.

Thank you stellablu- Your advice is pretty good too- knowing ourselves and accepting ourselves for who we truly are will help others accept us as well- then we don't have to fake it trying to be something we are not- Someone said once- "You are the most important person you will ever meet".

This is a tough one.

It starts with YOU. Are you trustworthy? Have you built character, dependability, loyalty in yourself?

When YOU get there then by your example you will begin to attract others that are as well, and you will see through the actions of people whether they are or not, but since YOU ARE you will soon be surrounded by those that are and then TRUST becomes a culture in a circle of friends. That fellowship will inspire you to cast of you doubt in the human race and will be salvation to your damaged heart.

Ask me how I know?

I'm not sure there is a way to learn to trust again. I think that you have to decide what it is that you want and take the steps to get there. Trust is such a strong thing. I have a very open heart and am blessed that way I guess. I trust someone until they prove to me that they can not be trusted and even then..........I tend to forgive very easy. I think there is too trusting and not trusting enough. I guess I lean towards too trusting. I have a strong will and heart and tend to bounce back quick........maybe that is why it is so easy for me to trust.

I hope that when you find the right person for you that your heart will know and you will be able to let the wall come down one brick at a time........best wishes Me4
