untrusting

[fakemind]

how do you deal with not allowing yourself to trust somebody? it seems that i very rarely find myself trusting anybody very much - and sometimes its not them, its just me not being very trusting of people. could it be im too afraid of having my trust betrayed, and if so, how can i get over this? cuz this is not gonna help any future close relationships. i also consider that perhaps im not that confident of myself, so for example, in the case of trusting a girlfriend - im afraid she may find somebody better than me one day or whatever. silly i guess, i know in my head its stupid - but its still hard for me to give my trust out. any advice? (Bible verses would be awesome as well!)

much Christian love!

I think you kind of grow out of that. At your age you're trying to figure out who you are. Sometimes you don't think you're enough. I don't know if you've been hurt before. It's not a bad idea to guard your heart. I don't know, I think this is going to be a thing you learn by living. That's how life goes. Also, if you're having trouble opening up, maybe that's God saying that you haven't run into the right girl yet. Don't take that to the bank, but think about it.
Don't get too worked up over it though.

I too have a very hard time trusting people. I don't let many people into my personal life, due to the fact that I don't Trust many people. It took me a long time just to trust my boyfriend(he is the only one besides 2 other people that I tell anything too,one being my shrink.lols) It may take you a while to trust people and in a way that too could be a good thing.
May God Bless you.

Hi Jeremiah,
I want you to know that I am remembering you in my prayers. Everyone grows at their own pace, not just physical growth, but emotional, intellectual, and spiritual as well. So if you really concentrate on changing this insecurity, it can happen. You can do anything you put your mind to. I have faith in you. And, if she loves you, she can't find anybody else, because nobody else would hold a candle to you. Put everything in Gods hands, it will all work out! I wish you well! Prayers and blessings to you!
