I am sure there is someone in your life (or perhaps well out of it) that you trust(ed) and they took advantage of that trust and let you down.
There are so many reasons we trust people. I for one like to start with trust and then have it removed rather than the other way round. Many people like to wait and build trust, waiting for proof.
Either way, once you have established trust, you feel that you know the person, they are someone you invest a lot of time, emotion and effort in. In one second, that can all be in ruins. It can feel like something has died. Stages of grief are discussed. That is exactly what is happening. Trust is like love, once it has gone it leaves a hole that cannot be filled. You have to give yourself time to get through it, analyse it, work through it.
Like love, if you have trusted once, it makes it easier to trust again. It is always a shame that it may make you less open to trusting someone else, but with time and a positive outlook, you can come out wiser and stronger, but no less trusting.
