How can I get over feeling abandoned and betrayed every time I try to come out of my shell?

I know this is hard, but the problem is that you have to take responsibility for your situation. I know that sounds crazy, but you have to own everything affects you. By doing this, you will make better decisions and get hurt less. Are there people who are going to take advantage of you out there. Yes, there are. But what you have to say, how can I better choose who I surround myself with. If you look at yourself as a victim you will always attract people who are going to step on you and dump on you at every corner. That is a fact.

I know this is a little harsh, and forward, but this is the truth. At one time I felt like you do. Because in my life I only have to people who have not hurt me. One is the lady I call my mother (she was my neighbor growing up) the other is my son. Yes, that means both of my parents, my wife cheated on me. The list goes on and on.

It can always be worse. Just learn from your mistakes and make better decisions and it will work out. I know this is a different way to look at things, but I know you can do it. I wish you luck, and I think it is great that you are seeking an answer instead of just sitting around and sulking. Be a person of action, not reaction and end up getting hurt all of the time. Take care, and best wishes.
