better to be cautious and loved than gullible and burned
Is it better to be locked in a room all your life or occasionally get a burn from the sun?
In my case, I have found through therapy that it’s about lack of confidence in myself to protect myself and heal from the pain of a failed relationship.
Once I started telling myself I’m stronger than I think I am, and that love is a risk worth taking, I’m a lot more confident putting myself out there.
I have issues with trusting people after getting gaslit by a coworker she was acting all affectionate towards me, then turned out she was in a relationship, and she was saying shit about me being creepy. Like… Then why talk to me? I actively avoided her after that, and distanced myself from her.
I also have issues with trusting people but only because I’ve met some of them.

Good for you!
Pro tip: The best thing would be to have paranoid delusions that can never be confirmed nor denied, preferably by setting up a big long-term master plan that is so long-term that it will outlast the relationship or even you. Since you can neither confirm nor deny your delusions, it will always stay in your mind, thanks to the absurd degree of ambiguity that your world view has, ensuring self-isolating behaviour for a lifetime! /s

You are presenting what appears to be a disingenuous narrative, with cynicism at its core.
Some of us are in love with amazing people, but we struggle with severe trust issues. It’s a very serious problem for us, even if it may not be for you.
