Can you not trust (men/women/anyone)?

I wonder sometimes if it's I can't trust XXXX, or if it isn't more that I can't trust myself for fear of hurt. And, if it is indeed myself that I can't trust, how will I ever trust enough to find anyone trustworthy, or heal that which is broken?

Due to the oppressive and sometimes frightening circumstances of my life, trust is a rare thing for me, as it should be.

I don't see this changing at any point in my life.

I dream of having more friends, but it is always a rough road for me. I do have two close friends, neither of which I get to see very often, but I know I am fortunate to have them.
