OH FFS!

To summarize the past 6 mos. We took a homeless family in and let them live with us for 2 mos. I asked nothing from them and tried to move heaven and earth to keep them from being deported. In the end, we were taken advantage of. Then I had some "issues" with my husband (which we are still working on). And of late, I thought i had developed a true friendship with a woman that I ride the commuter train with and she had just finished walking all over me. Im so done with people it isnt funny. And people wonder why i have trust issues??

Comments:
i think the issue is that ur letting people hurt you. ur putting urself out there emotionally and expect the other to reciprocate - when they don't you feel hurt. my advice would be not depend so much on others and to not trust them just on "good will". but most importantly don't leave urself at the mercy of others. just because ur nice, does not mandate them to be nice as well. it's their choice whether or not they want to be nice to you. ur being nice to them has nothing to with it. just be nice to them and then forget that you were nice to them. do ur part and move on.
 
Thank you for the input.
To be frank though, i view relationships with people as reciprocal. If i cant trust a friend with something that i confided in her, then what is the point in continuing the relationship?
As for being hurt, that happens if i invest in people.
Im not sure how one invests in a friendship without "putting yourself out there emotionally". It isnt as if im doing that with complete strangers yanno?
