I recently found out that a girl is interested in me but I am afraid of a relationship due to the fact that I really find it hard to trust people. I guess this comes from the fact that I had issues trusting my own family so I found it even harder to trust strangers or anyone else. Not sure what to do but I really want to get over it. I think I am ready for a relationship but I just need to figure out how to calm myself down and develope trust first. I am not surprised that it also affects my very rare friendships and makes me seem more like a lone wolf.
I know exactly what you mean, I have the same problem (because of past experiences...) maybe before you consider a relationship with her, get to know her a bit more. Become more of her friend and just wait and see go with the flow, and eventually after awhile I'm sure you'll realize if you can trust her. I hope all goes well!
I tried it out and it did seem to work, but I'm not very interested anymore. I do hope though that my trust issues greatly improve in the future, and I am working on them daily.
