Is it bad that I don’t want new people in my life? I’ve been hurt too much.

I’ve been taken advantage to many times and fake people. I’m come. One of my coworkers told me we should chat sometime (he isn’t interested in me) like we’re great coworkers and now he messaged me out of blue an hour ago and said, “Hi” from Instagram. Should I reply?
People told me there’s good people and if I don’t let new people in I’ll be lonely. I don’t wanna let them in. I have trust issues. Not trying to be rude. I can’t let people in my heart and I’m built a fence.
Why would people be interested in a person like me.

People are shit, mostly. I have trust issues too, so I get it. I don't even trust my "best friend". It's true that there are good people out there but they're very few and far between, so if you don't feel like letting anyone in, then don't. You'll probably be better off.
But humans are social creatures, so it's a good idea to hang out with other people and let someone in, at least partially, I've found that very difficult due to my trust issues and being introverted but it's... mostly worth it, with the right people. And I still hold out hope that considering there are billions of people on this planet, I'll find someone that I can properly trust.
But of course, the problem with trust issues is that we might find that person and never know it...
