I worry I could be manipulated again

I'm scared that I might be forever a puppet for others if the strings are cut from one user could another tie them to their control?


My first manipulator broke me can others mold me into whatever they want? reattach strings?



I feel I can't trust anyone truly now no matter how good or honest they are with me scared to open up and get used again.


Am I being paranoid or is this just a result of what happened?
