I’ve recently discovered that I have major trust issues. I hate the way my brain is wired but I can’t help it. My fear is it’s going to ruin any future relationships I ever have because my brain is always thinking of possibilities why someone could lie to me. It already has ruined one in the past. My biggest fear is looking stupid and not catching signs and my brain is constantly trying to look for clues and it can’t settle. I’ve never been cheated on and I would never cheat or have cheated. I’ve grown up with a great support system I think so I don’t know why my brain thinks like this. It’s definitely gotten better but I recently realized I’m not where I want to be.
I’ve started going to therapy for it but genuinely how do you guys trust people you’re seeing right off the bat? Even if someone seems slightly suspicious how do you just say “well I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt”.
