Trusting … other people
“Survivors tend to see trust as an absolute, either not trusting at all or trusting completely. You may bounce between the two, not trusting until you are so desperate for contact that you throw your trust at the first likely target. Since most people can’t handle that sort of desperation, you end up disappointed or abandoned, thus proving your original beliefs - that people aren’t trustworthy, that you aren’t loveable, that love isn’t worth it.”
