How do you stop being afraid of trusting new people?

Posted by ashta on January 29, 2026, 4:25 am

I realized this is a big issue for me. I’m being completely serious right now. I’m so scared of trusting someone new that I don’t even give a chance to myself or to the other person, and I do it without realizing it. If I meet someone and things move fast, I can pull away and just stop talking altogether.

Have you tried working on this with a therapist? It’s obvious this comes from somewhere, and there’s a reason behind the lack of trust. Maybe a bad relationship experience in the past? Basically, this stuff can be worked through if there’s a desire to work through it.
