It is definitely possible for a person who has trust issues to learn to trust again. It takes effort and time, but that is a normal part of the healing process.
The time it takes to rebound from these negative experiences is different for everyone, depending on your situation and what has caused these repeated feelings of distrust.
I hope you know that you are not alone in your feelings. I've been there too, and I can say from personal experience that it is devastating when you lose trust and faith in people, especially those closest to you. When it happened to me, I felt like someone had died, and in a way, that was true. The vision I had of that person was forever altered and that relationship did die, at least in terms of the intimacy and faith we had previously shared. With any death, a period of mourning will follow for those left to pick up the pieces. I can promise you that it will get better, and there is light at the end of your tunnel.
If you feel that you are not progressively healing and your distrust of others is seriously effected your ability to live your life, (ie depression), please consider counseling or therapy as an option. An objective person like a therapist can be great outlet to share your feelings and experiences, especially if you feel you can't trust anyone with your feelings. Just venting to someone can be so cleansing. A professional can help you channel your feelings in a healthy way and give you a fresh perspective when a problem seems hopeless. And they can't relieve anything to anyone, as they are bound by ethical and legal confidentiality.
Never feel hopeless about your situation. Remember you are not alone. Trust in that.

Part of trusting someone, means that you have to accept the vunerablility that comes with that. To trust someone is hard, but not with all people. NO one will ever have the exact opinion as you do, or act the way you do in certain situations, because they are YOUR standards/beliefs. All you can do is take the chance....You may find that it will be the best thing you ever did, or the opposite, however, with lost trust, there is always somethign gained personally by you. That's LIFE>>>>>

Yes but people should have to earn trust anyways and it seems as if you have been burned by fire in the past. Just give it time and some patience and you will, it just isnt going to be easy which can at times be a good thing when a person shows that they are worth your trust you will know and you will find they have it.

Yes, because psychologically our brains were made to be flexible enough to be controlled and programmed by ourselves when we want things done or the other way around.
And in time as the scars that you've accumulated from those painful previous experiences would be healing, you'd learn to forgive and trust again.

GREAT QUESTION !
I sure hope so...I have had such bad experiences from guys that are not honest. Now I'm not saying all guys are dishonest, but I just haven't had any luck finding the right honest guy.
I have learner that trust is something that is earned. And once earned is a very precious commodity.
Good Luck and God Bless !

we do eventually have to trust someone, no matter how badly we were hurt. we have to not cheat ourselves out of a life due to our past hurts. the only way we will learn to trust again is to make ourselves vulnerable, and ask and seek what we want, as it is the only chance we have. we have to leave the past and go into the present, and just learn to trust, learn to love again. we have to accept what happened to us,and let go of what we thought our life would have been like. and move from the past, onto something else.

sure. it may take a long time and will need a patient other person to help him trust again but he will, eventually. he may be hurt previously but the hurt will pass and he will realize not all person are untrustworthy. there are those who can still be trusted. but he will have to take the risk of trusting again and being hurt again.the sad thing will be for him to stop trying and thus stop living.life is a risk, man.live your life.

At any price, you in trouble-free words locate concepts on the thanks to loosen up somewhat and get to entice close people on their own benefits, no longer your preconceptions about their call, which that they had no administration over. attempt some concept workouts the position you imagine someone you fairly believe with the call Jamie. Oh, and that i wish you call the first Jamie each once in a lengthy time period with the Humpty Dance taking section in loudly in the heritage. do not deliver it up in any incorrect way, only have it on. )

Yes, it's possible, but, from experience, I still have that "little teeny bit" of being on guard all the time.
