For as long as I can remember I've had trouble trusting people. I always assume that they're going to do something to invalidate said trust so I keep myself distant from everyone. Those people I do 'trust' I often try to push away and find myself questioning their trust. Often I find myself trying to distance myself from people even without consciously doing it.

I understand TRP is about improving oneself. However I just don't know where to start. I've tried to consciously make an effort to trust people but it seems that every time I do I get burned one way or another and can never trust them again. I feel like my inability to trust is going to leave me alone and bitter in the future and it scares me. Help me find a way to be more trusting of people.
