Scared to trust again
I used to be always excited about being in love..one day I found out that my dad had an affair and i accidentally Heard there conversation...it was disgusting...it really traumatized me..I feel like the men I always trusted and loved since my childhood is now a cheater...how can I trust other men...i know not all men are same...but I'm really scared...and I'm 23 and my family is finding a guy for me...the idea of being with a men and trusting him...gives me lots of anxiety...i really want to get over from this...but i don't know how...
It seems your past experiences have had a big impact on your perception of men. But not everything our mind tells us is necessarily true. It is fear that commands, you are not looking at reality objectively. How trustworthy a person is doesn't depend on gender, it's full of men out there who feel the same way about women. Relationships are "risky" in a lot of ways, but denying ourselves the ability to love and be loved for fear of suffering is much worse. If you can't control these feelings, it may be helpful to see a therapist. Hope you can change your mind and be happy with your future partner. Take care💜
