to ask if anyone else has no one in the world that they can trust?

[Attackedbysavagebees]

I don’t have anyone I can trust. Is this unusual?

Trust in what way?

Family, close friend? Probably need more information

I only trust my DH. I don’t have anyone else in my family I would trust.

Trust that they have my interests at heart and are not manipulating me for their own ends

On myself. Learnt the hard way sadly.

No one in the world

I would have been able to trust my wife without question. Lost her last year. Next in line, I have two friends who I trust. Then my sibling. I could probably trust my sibling to the same degree as my friends, but my friends know more than my sibling does.

So sorry that you lost your wife 💐

Thank you. It sucks, but it is what it is.

I'm sorry that you don't feel you have anyone you can trust. I don't know how to ask this without sounding insensitive, but why do you think this is? Could be any number of reasons or just bad luck.

Acceptance brings freedom

People are weird. They just are.

Knowing where you stand in life is the best thing, even if its having nobody to trust. Trust yourself, and your purpose - be it your career, motherhood, friendship, leadership - it all matters x

Just my husband. I think that once my children grow up they’ll also be in my circle of trust as I’ll know they’ll have my best interests at heart. And vice versa.

But no one outside of this.

Do you have a husband, partner or adult children that could fall into this bracket?

Trust that everyone will put themselves first.

I have a partner but I can’t trust him. I’m stuck between leaving him and thinking that he is better than nothing and being totally alone in the world.

Probably stems from emotional abuse as a child but maybe that’s an excuse and there’s something fundamentally evil in me

Is everyone like that?

I'm totally alone in this too. I have an incredibly difficult family whom I have gradually detached from.

Counselling has been very helpful. I have good friends I trust to share my vulnerability with. Some people, I know won't have my best interests at heart.

I believe many people are in this position and you are not alone in this.

It sounds like counselling could be really helpful to help you make decisions regarding your husband. Alone btw. Not couples counselling.

I used to have, but my parents have been dead for some years and my husband died 5 years ago. I have no children of my own and no siblings.

I don’t think some spouses are. But everyone else, absolutely!

Are you young enough to find someone new?

No, I don't have anyone. BUT in the past I have had people in my life that I thought I could and they let me down. So now I'm happy to just be me and not let anyone in. It's comfortable, not being vulnerable.

I’m sorry you have a difficult family too but it’s good you have some good friends you can trust.

Sorry for your losses. Do you have any friends you can trust?

I’m extremely ugly and unlikeable too so there is no chance of that.

That’s good you are happy being alone now. I’m wondering if I would be better doing the same and not having contact with anyone ever again.

My DS20 and DD18 (though I wouldn’t ask anything of either-they have their own lives, as they should).
My dad, unless it was a choice between me and my mum: we both know she’s very manipulative but he loves her anyway, regardless of how she treats him :( )
So, not really, bar those I brought up myself!
