Why are people afraid of getting hurt?

[WallflowerGirl83]

I've always gotten hurt in the past: for me it's just hard for me to trust certain people. I opened up to a lot of people and ended up becoming betrayed in the end. Now it's very hard for me to trust certain people cause of what I've been through. Sure it's possible I'll get hurt again but I won't make the same mistakes over again. The last time I got hurt, it took me months before I could get on my own two feet again.

I'll never be able to trust anyone again. I can't tell when someone is being honest, or lying anymore. The lines have become so blurred at this stage.
