I suffer with this due to a traumatic childhood resulting in me having to rely on myself and having difficulty trusting others. I think everyone will leave me anyway, so what’s the point? I have quite superficial relationships and I really want to change this. I want to find a long term partner.
Has anyone else been in this position and been able to successfully turn things around for themselves? If so what actionable steps did you take? Is it just a case of slowly giving people a chance and seeing where it goes? Or maybe learning to trust yourself more?
Thanks for any advice!
