trust issues: the truth.

I feel at some point we all have trust issues. I think of it as some type of rope and knife. Where every time someone does something to lose your trust, the rope becomes thinner and thinner.

Lately I’ve been struggling with trusting people due to my past experiences. I’d say I’ve been through many tragic events with family and even friends, and I’ve put up with stuff I shouldn’t put up with. But, I’ve grown from this and now have enough self love for myself to do what is best for me.

I think I need to learn to trust myself. I back out of many things solely because of my anxiety. Some days it was like I was my anxiety. Like it just overtook me entirely. This has caused me to miss out on so many things. And even though my anxiety has drastically gone down since being at MSA, it still seems to creep up on me sometimes.

I guess what I’m trying to say is, sometimes we don’t trust people because we don’t trust ourselves. And that’s up to you to change.

  1. It’s so funny how you took all of my thoughts and wrote them down. I think you’re a psychic friend too.

  2. Honestly, relatable. I think MSA is really helping a lot of us understand and come out of our comfort zones. Don’t worry though, we’re gonna get it together! 🙂
