Trust is like a mirror,
you can’t fix it if it’s broken, so they say. They never mention that you can
easily walk over the shattered pieces even when you thought you had it all
cleaned up. Yes, that is trust, once it is broken, it is not only hard to put
back together but will potentially hurt you even more.
Why trust anyone at
all, you may ask, it only gives someone a chance to hurt us. Yes there is a
risk someone can hurt your heart but there is more than equal chance that
someone can also bless your heart.
Trust is the strongest
foundation any relationship can have and without trust, a healthy relationship
cannot last. Human society grew to what it is today by relationship with one
another and for relationships to be formed you will need to trust someone in
order to relate to them no matter the type of relationship.
So what do you do if
your ability to trust has been broken by disappointment, betrayal , heart break
or something else? It is okay to be skeptical if your gut tells you something
is wrong but losing the ability to trust is actually causing you to judge
people before you have a real chance to meet them. It draws you to make
assumptions that are wrong and possibly harmful.
Being unable to trust
is actually a burden to the heart because you will have the thought that every
person is out there to hurt you which will prevent you from building meaningful
connection with other people.
It’s true, there are
bad people out there, users or those who just want to waste our time but we
have to learn to separate who is good for us and who can be harmful for us by
trusting our gut. Not being able to trust clouds our judgment.
Have you been
struggling with trust issues? First, you will have to admit to yourself that
you have trust issues. Secondly, do not justify the reason you cannot trust
everyone. I know your experience is real and there to guide you but true
happiness sometimes comes with a risk.
Surround yourself with positive people
and if you see a valid sign that someone is up to no good with you, trust your gut
and avoid them. It is okay to talk about this with your loved ones and even
visit a therapist for counseling if your problem is too deep.
