Who has a tough time trusting people?

Question

I work with this lady who put the blame on me for throwing away the work keys away. They belonged to the Head Janitor. I told what happened,but she had a way of making her story look like I did it. This took place of February of this year. Since then, we became friends again. I felt like I forgave her,but something happened and I blamed her for it. Well, she had nothing to do with it,had no knowledge of it. Today I told her I was sorry. I was crying and so was she. She told me that she just doesn't know how to take me sometimes. I told her I just don't trust anybody,I just don't believe what people tell me. I have been hurt so many times by people who I thought loved me.

Is there anyone who can help me through this. I am 40 and she is almost 60.

Think is,to this day, she still tells people I was the one who through the keys that was so important on the job.

Please help me.

Answer 1

I do!

Try talking to a therapist. Sometimes it is good to open up little bits each time as you get to know more about the other person, b/c that just makes it better for you too

Answer 2

I do.  I have trust issues with almost every relationship I have had.  However, if your reasons are valid ones, do not doubt yourself.  Your gut feeling is usually right.  You can get help through counseling. You may even find that you have had this trust issue problem for a long time even in childhood.
