Avoiding people with the intention

...See more Worked in retail for almost 7 years. Had a rough patch after the pandemic and protesting, which I had to work through, was a little wild near me. Want to progress and move on in life, however, the memory of me being trampled by people inside the store made it difficult to open up to people, feel like they don't care. Happy to be alone, but it's not normal. I have financial goals and personal goals, wish I can finally open up and share my life, have trust issues concerning people, not so much of judgement. Personal goals that overlap happiness with people. Right now it's all about money and not love or compassion. Have a hard time opening up after the pandemic. When I see people I just read the word "deception" on them. It was a retail trick that stuck in my head due to theft and vandalism that would occur, not accounting for numerous of other crimes that would occur. The work side is stuck in my head, need to learn how to disconnect. Any advice?

...See more A while back I finally met my biological father after 25 years of not knowing him while I was in a relationship with my, now, ex fiance. Eveything changed where I found myself leaving domestic violence and my dad later went out of the picture. Both men in my life are now gone. Then i decided to move back to my mom's house to get back on my feet after years of vile abuse from my ex. My mom, however, I find toxic. She's emotionally draining and probably looking for validation. I find her repulsive but I wanted the stability I've never had in my life. Any advice?? I tried "not playing her game" type of attitude, but it puts me in a more higher position and then i feel like a caretaker rather than a daughter. What should I do?? After domestice violence i had to let go of some of my friends because of the connection they had with my ex. I'm pretty much riding solo at this point in my life. Just looking for mental clarity. Thanks.
