It isn't always easy to trust. Especially if you've been burned more than once.
Get to know a person well. Trust them little by little. Trust them in small things first, and that will show you if they can be trusted with bigger things. Eventually you'll have a close circle of friends you know you can trust.
Remember, not everyone is out to betray you, and not everyone lies. Hang in there!

If you have experienced people that have abused, abandoned rejected and lied too you, thats why. From the time I was two I was molested. I never trusted these molesters. My parents abandoned me by turning there backs on the sexual abuse. I couldn't trust them any longer. Everything I said about being raped and molested was rejected, I was told I was a liar and not to lie again. I didn't seem to fit in anywhere. when I told a teacher, she ignored what I said. Couldn't trust her. The things I said about being raped and molested was discredited by every adult figure I looked up to for help. If you were never accepted for who you are, can destroy trust too. The only one I trust is jesus. And maybe my therapist of many years, right now he hasn't done anything to make me not trust him. I been struggling to trust since three years old until now. I'm 44 years old. I heard its not impossible, but I haven't been able too. It is an aweful feeling to mistrust everyone. My therapist has been working with me, maybe a therapist can help you.

Everybody has there own unique experiences in life.They are good experience and bad experiences and sometimes there are more bad experiences that has hurt our trust in people,because the bad was so bad you can not forgive and forget.Is just a natural way to protect one self after a trauma(by not trusting people easily until you feel safe to do so.Take your time to know people,I to suffer from the same thing of having a hard time trusting people. Lissen to your guts ,dont feal guilty about it.When you are ready you are ready!

I would say because you been hurt to many times or people didn't do what they said they were going to.. I know I was hurt so much I didn't trust anyone and it would take me awhile before I did they had to prove there self to me.. Then I got saved and God helped me to get past that ..

Trust takes a long time to build up and a second to destroy, I don't think you are alone here.

If you have been mistreated by anyone in the past ( mistreared in anyway, verbally or physicaly) it's normal.

Maybe because you don't trust yourself.
