Letting go
How can you learn to trust someone who has hurt you? And how do you let go of past pain that causes problems in your every way of thinking?
@Kevinhensjr Hello! I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with trust and letting go of past pain. It can be challenging, but there are steps you can take to work through these feelings. One way is to start by talking to someone you trust, like a family member, friend, or counselor, who can listen and support you. They can help you understand your emotions and find healthy ways to cope. It's important to give yourself time to heal and forgive, but also remember that you have the power to set boundaries and protect yourself. Focus on self-care, practicing self-compassion, and surrounding yourself with positive influences. With patience and support, I hope you can gradually learn to trust and find peace within yourself.
@Kevinhensjr Ditch stupid people from your life.
@ioan489 There's that, and there's nursing our own hurt feelings so we can get past it and put our trust in better people in the future. I'm struggling with the latter.
The hurt feeling is not the problem in my case. I have let go of the hurt. My mom abused me as a child, and for years now I have had a great relationship with her. But because of the abuse I have trust issues with other people in my life, friends, family, intimate relationships, etc. it has caused me to push good people out of my life and had me trusting in people who ultimately hurt me, which makes it harder to trust anyone in the future. I have learned that you are what you surround yourself with. So I have been trying to seek a way to trust new people, just the right ones.
