Hello
It has been my experience that trust is earned. It is very difficult to trust anyone, after you have been betrayed and hurt. I think it depends on the level of trust that was broken.
Speaking for myself, once betrayed I have to cut them out of my life. I find that history repeats itself. I have also learned to be real picky about forming relationships.
I know that I am a good and trusting person, and I have built walls around me, only those that I feel are worth in can get inside.

This must be very difficult for you. If everyone you trusted deceived you, then there are often deeper issues. Are you, for whatever reason, seeking out superficial friendships or relationships? Sometimes we bring temporary relationships into our life because we ourselves are not sure about what we have to give. Other times, friendships begin in youth or during less stable times in our life and with maturity or growth comes the realization that these friendships no longer fit where we are in our life.
Think about what you need from a friend. Think about what you have to give. Then talk to some people. Get involved with activities or groups that interest you. Give yourself time to let friendships and trust build based on mutual respect and kindness. Every once in a while, evaluate where a friendship is. Are you feeling respected? Are you being honest within the relationship about who you are? Does this other person listen to you and honor you?
Trust your instincts. You will heal. And you will find people who love and support you. These are the people to build trust with again.

For me trust is not something you give so easily! It is something you slowly gain. I trust a select few. Thay have all passed my trust tests. If I tell you something, I shouldn't hear about it from somebody else. I do not repeat anything that someone tells me because it is not my story to tell. I also figured out that everybody trusts atleast one person. So that kind of stinks. LOL Next thing you know everybody knows. I don't put my trust in words. Only ACTIONS! ACTIONS are a lot more powerful.
