I Don't Trust Easily Anymore

Sometimes you just can´t open up to someone. Not because you don´t trust them. But because once you tell someone how you feel inside, you´re giving them permission to hurt you.

If I confided in someone and the used that to hurt me. That someone would not be in my life any longer. And I would want to know the next person a little better before I trusted them. But we have to trust if we don't we turn into synics and become angry at everything.

I see your point...but we don´t necessarily become cynics, we become a bit wiser...
Wisdom is always part of the outcome. But only if you see the lesson.@LadyHeartnMind:

@JoanieNewHampshire: Who said I didn´t learn the lessons? Believe me, my life is ok as it is...I´ve learnt more than enough, that enables me to live happily. But that´s me.
@LadyHeartnMind: I meant you, like as we in general. From what I've read of yours you have learned a lot and are quite wise. It's ok to be you.

I know, I'm very much the same. But many want me to be someone else!@LadyHeartnMind:

@JoanieNewHampshire: I stopped worrying about what others want when I was 16...
I've had people in my life that I have to worry about. So what the think and want matters to me, because I make them matter. And I'm happy, they are also supportive. It's a fine line when you're a partner, a parent, and a grand parent. @LadyHeartnMind:

@JoanieNewHampshire: You misunderstood me. I don´t care about what others may think about me...who don´t know me. I love my family and keep them near. My post was a general statement, applying to nobody in particular, everybody in general. A philosophy in life, so to say. Or just thinking aloud-.
Yes! I agree that is what I mean as well. Sorry for any miss understanding
