Leaping
How do you trust and make that leap of faith again in someone when you've been crushed before in life? What are your strategies to make it easier for yourself to connect with someone new again?

when I was crushed and thought I would not find someone I met them ...
It just happens where you have no fear to leap.... if you are not sure
IMO they are not the one you think they are....
@HugsAndShrugs I think if you become smarter, you will have your own answer in building trust.
I just take it really slowly at a snails pace, people always show their true natures over time. Especially if there is any sort of conflict, you get to see if they are patient, communicative, understanding...
Plus are they making the effort too or is just me?
Typically if I share something a bit vulnerable, how do they react? Do they listen carefully and ask follow up questions? Or do they pretend I haven't said anything?
A good listener is essential. I hate repeating myself and it shows me they care and are invested in getting to know me.
@ScrabbleBrain really helpful perspective 🙂
@HugsAndShrugs Glad to be of use :)
