Thank you @MrMoonlight .
I suppose I can find a good, or something to be thankful for, in most situations (the worst being, 'at least it wasn't like this always'..), but I am not sure if I can take a step to let go of mistrust. Since a) generally speaking people often misrepresent themselves- until they don't (and if you don't know who the sucker in the room is, you're it), and b) The risk if wrong outweighs the benefits if justified and c) I can't tell what is my gut from what is past and current knowledge. Which when they say a person can't trust themself is I suppose what they mean. Also d) I give the most generous benefit of the doubt, until I can't, which leaves me at a serious disadvantage. And all of which compels me to want to run for the hills.
I wish I could be more 'un-aware', or have no past or complications. So, I feel sad. But I also know I don't need trust for anything but my own heart, I can go through all the other motions without it, including relationships. I think it's maybe just too much damage to overcome, and at this age and stage I can basically choose without influencing anyone but myself, really, not 25 and planning a family and kids.
Not sure where that's on the wheel, lol.
