How do I get better at trusting people? I started seeing someone

You're living in fear that history will repeat itself. You have been betrayed big-time and it still weighs on you eminsely. But all you can do is take a chance because it you become afraid of what may be a good thing because of a past incident. You cant be afraid of what may happen and you don't exactly have to completely trust everything this person says or does, but you have to take the risk I trusting them enough to let them into your life.

This person is not your ex. This is a whole other human being. Take a chance and trust your intuition and heart.

It's just hard sometimes. He lied to me about his baggage in his life when we dated, to emotionally manipulate me. Now I'm seeing someone with their own baggage and my instinct is to just distrust him. He's given me no reason to at all though and I really want this to work with us.
It's just so hard.

Just take things slow. Perhaps you're not ready to jump into another relationship. It's tough to trust anyone ever again if you've been manipulated. Maybe this new guy seems genuine and in time it will feel right. But those walls you put up are to protect yourself from anymore emotional damage.

Its going to be hard. Very hard. You trusted someone that you loved and they shattered that trust. But you can't let this bad experience hold you back from another relationship. The only person that it is going to hurt is you if you allow that to happen. Now im not saying jump into a relationship with this person because you may just need time to yourself to get everything right with yourself, but i am saying give people a chance, and if ypu care about this person, give them a. Chance too

lel. As if that counts. People will just fade away online because their real lives get more interesting. Don't be so stupid as to get attached to someone online. Go meet a real guy.
