How to start trusting people again?

Question

I realize I don't trust people at all. Even if I do, I still doubt them. It makes me look like an asshole, but I don't do it consciously so it's hard to change it. I want to start trusting again and take all the negativities off my head about people. I'm so tired of me.

Answer

In my experience, difficulty trusting other people stems from perfectionism, (in the sense that one is afraid of situations beyond his/her control) and low self-trust. Trusting isn't knowing, therefore the control is not there. I think the best approach is to gradually expose yourself to the thought that some people may hurt you by breaking your trust, while others won't - you'll never be able to know in advance. Either way you need to trust yourself that you'll be able to handle the situation!

Answer

I have this problem to. I've found that asking people small favors, like grabbing you something from across the room or watching your purse when you go to rhe bathroom are small steps that start a foundation of trust with people to build relationships on.
