Trust

JT

For some years now, since I made a big group of friends at school, then college,then uni,that in some ways were less supportive and in some instances mean to me in the end, I have struggled to trust people.

Initially always seeing the good in people, to then be let down, means now that I'm older I struggle to allow people close and trust their intentions are of good standing.

Do you identify with that?

I have cut ties with most of the friends I've had through life because I can't figure out their intentions, so I move away for safety

  • I am in my second year at uni and I had to teach myself to trust my supervisor because I no longer trust naturally. It's hard work. I have 'friends' at uni but they're more acquaintances and I don't socialise with them. I have come to the decision that I am better off on my own, just trusting the people I have to to make life easier. 

    People don't get me and I offend them eventually and they disappear and they don't tell me what I did wrong which is annoying. It's just how life is. But, being a bit of a loner has made it easier to be myself, I don't feel that I have to adapt my behaviour to what is expected of me. Yes, I crave company at times but it's just easier to be just me. 

    I know this won't work for everyone, but once I have figured out a way to not feel lonely I am sure it will be fine. I've made contact with a local organisation for autistic adults and I'm hoping that helps with that.
