I Have Trust Issues

I learned today that I still fear love. I fear abandonment, rejection. I fear being used and lied to. I haven't forgiven myself for making mistakes and not trusting my intuition. I always kind of knew this but never really accepted it. Not sure if accepting it will make it change. I really don't know how to get over it.

I came to this same realization myself this year,admitted and accepted it. Something about doing that brought me some peace but it’s still hard at times. When it starts to overwhelm me i have to tell myself that she’s done nothing to warrant it and that we think alike. I may have thoughts that she would find threatening but she knows I’m hers. I just turn that around on my self,and knowing that I’m hers helps so much.
If that makes sense!
