My mother didn't love me as a child and as a result I'm super fucked up and I've never been in a mutually loving relationship before.
How do I build trust and respect for women again? I know they are not all lying, cheating, whores, but it really seems like most people in general are shallow and irritating and women are no exception.
I have this problem where if I'm in public, I think that everything women do is to pit men against each other in brutish competition, even things that are innocent and are not sexual appear to be sexual and if women are not giving me attention over other men I throw a gigantic tantrum. I don't do this outloud, but I become so full of rage that I begin shaking and getting unreasonably angry. I've lost several jobs over this.
I honestly don't believe this is the way the world works and I want to think differently but I can't figure out how, it seems inescapable.
tl;dr how do I overcome my distrust for everyone especially women? Please do not come in here with some shitty advice about how I should man up and be an alpha chad, that shit is asinine.
tl;tl;dr How do I appear strong and confident without turning into a chest puffing "dominant" chad bot? Women seem to flock to these types, but something about it seems morally adverse.
seriously guys frustration over this is causing me to lose jobs and get situations completely confused.
Accept that other will never love you because you will never be able to return it and do other stuff with your life.

I mean, I'm not incapable of loving. I've just only been in situations with shitty people and it's left me really cynical. I'm asking about how exactly I stop being cynical about this.
Am I a secondary psychopath?
You're gravitating towards less loving women who so happen to mistreat their partners. It's probably way more natural for you to pose and appeal to someone similar in personality to your mother. Go against the grain, and try to score with women who are outside of your comfort zone.

I have thought of this. It looks and sounds impossible. I usually go for quiet, emotionally vacant or depressed people so I can stay at a distance, which furthers the cycle.
It's almost like I have this self righteous guilt complex where the only people I find attractive are the people who feel like they don't deserve it. It's fucking weird.

then confuse difficult with impossible and continue to suffer

fair enough.

Idk how to do it either.
I only befriend men who hate themselves and date women who cant consistently love. I quit these kinds of relationships very recently, and it is quite lonely. I see a therapist with a doctorate and she said she wants to help.

I dunno if you're still following this thread, anon, but literally same shit. I just got away from a bunch of people who are friends but the way they joke around just seems kind of mean. It doesn't seem like any of them know how to actually connect with other humans and so they do it with snark instead of actual interest and affection.
I'm lonely, no money, no job, living in friend's family's guest room jerking off to internet porn. OH and I'm somewhat schizophrenic so all of this stuff gets amplified quite frequently.
I wish I could just be stoned constantly so I could cope with being alone all the time.
