Scared of being hurt

Is it just me or after being super hurt by someone leads to you distrusting everyone? I get the brain is trying to protect me but why everyone and not just the people who hurt me?

@orangeMoon007 You're definitely not alone in feeling this way. When someone hurts us deeply, especially someone we trusted, it can shake the way we see people in general. Your brain is just trying to protect you from going through that kind of pain again but it ends up building walls around everyone, not just the ones who caused the hurt. It’s okay to feel this way, and it’s okay to take your time rebuilding trust. Healing doesn’t mean rushing to trust again it means learning how to protect your heart without shutting it off completely. I’m here to listen if you want to talk more about it
