How do you go on when you're disappointed by almost everyone and everything.

I feel like there is always a catch. You can never just be happy, you can never just have any safety or have anything for that matter. No one is reliable, not even me so what can I even do?

I’m so sorry ur post went this long without a reply🥺💙I scrolled thru my feed and finally saw it. No I get that, this might sound cliche and I never want to put religion on anyone, but lately I too have been just not been able to fully trust others, even those close to me I try to just keep at an arms length.

A prayer Ive tried lately is to ask God for guidance and I let him know I can’t fight my battles on my own, that I’m not sure if I can put my faith in others so I’ll put my faith in him to guide me thru, or out of situations I’m very unsure of.💙for me it’s also mostly relationships, not that I lost faith in people but knowing that they’re flawed. So if someone were to betray you, you’d be protected 💙there is a saying don’t put all your eggs in one basket if you heard of it?🙏🏽for example I’m in a relationship now, but if my man were to leave me or betray me, I have a little savings cushion to take myself on a vacation by myself lol that he doesn’t know about. Keep your life full so that it’s hard for people to come in and out of it!! Have activities, hobbies, and ur own social life so that if someone leaves they can’t really take much because you’re life is full already.

Something that’s very difficult to do is to be good to those who wrong you and to forgive them. It’s very very difficult, but each time I have forgiven an enemy, hater, etc, my life got better in some way and I hope it does for you too. That doesn’t mean let some back in who betrayed you. I think it’s ok to forgive and let go and cut people off if you have to. Not because you are hateful but because you’re protecting your peace and happiness. I wish you the best of luck because you got this. It sounds like people have been letting you down a lot and it’s makes you question your own self worth but it has nothing to do with you. Once they’re gone, you get to live life on ur terms again but even better than before💙💙

I don’t know exactly ur situation, but if ur starting from losing a lot, the only way is up💙💙go silent and once u come back rebuild ur life and literally scare and shock the people who let you down🔥 not as spite but to teach them that ur not the one to play with hunny! And then when people do come around, you will have so much self respect that if you sense any bs, you won’t settle anymore and they will know deep down that you will leave at any moment if you feel like it and not be afraid to walk
