@bennyydoverr: If trusting people feels impossible after what you've been through, especially if you grew up with childhood trauma, nothing is wrong with you. Your brain learned to be careful because it had to be. But trust doesn't have to be all or nothing. You can build it in small steps: 1️⃣ Share something small: how your day went, a favorite song 2️⃣ Ask for something small: a ride, a text back 3️⃣ Give them a small no and see how they react Safe people respond with warmth. They aren't pushy, judgmental or controlling. 🚩 Watch out for people who keep pressuring you, can't accept a no, or try to pull you away from family and friends. This isn't a cruel test. You're gathering information at a pace your nervous system can handle. Healthy people do this all the time. For big decisions like money or moving in together, take 24 hours and talk to someone you trust who never pressures you. Save this for later, and send it to someone who needs it.
