Black heart

i am 31 female and i stress a lot about my marriage my ex everything. i really want some friends annd i also want to trust again but i am afraid too. my gf told me she wouldnt leave but she is cause she cant deal with things that are happing. but i feel i should be cold to every one that i come in contact with every man or woman i talk to i feel is full of it and is out to hurt me so i try to protect my heart or just be cold. how do i learn to trust again

scared hun, the only way i know of to trust again is to be (guardly) open and friendly to people. being cold to folks with in most instances get cold back. in reaching out there is always the chance of being hurt, such is life. keeping oneself locked up in a cold dungeon will not produce anything good.
