Humans have much to answer for and the way some of them treat each other, the way they let hubris, greed and ego drive them to bad seeds is despicable. Just my opinion. Not all people, just some.
I personally have had bad experiences with people, in the past they made me want to close myself to establish relationships with more people, I remember that I used to innocently think that evil really didn't exist, but it does, it is part of the balance of this world and it's very unfortunate! I try to give the same treatment to the people that I would like to receive
Unfortunately so have I and it has left me feeling very guarded and cautious when it comes to people. I'm a people- cynic I guess one could say. Everyone starts at a position of neutrality and has to earn my respect, I don't give it as a matter of course. If they have it then lose it that respect will never return. I'm black and white like that, and am able to draw a line beneath people and move on. A byproduct of many experiences with the worst side of human nature.
I'm careful with people and have less problems with them for that reason.
I really built myself a shield, I let few people pass through it, and so far I had a margin of error about 20% in that shield but it is better than before, our conversation makes me reflect and go back to the past, when I thought in how I wanted to be, and I was just far from reality and boy!! reality hit hard!! I'm trying to be careful too but I'm not so good when there are emotions involved that's one of the reasons why I just avoid that
When emotional factors come in to play it can be difficult to limit contact with people although I guess we all need to make a decision about what's important to us and what may not be. I believe one needs to be true to oneself first and foremost.
You are completely right about everything! It is difficult, hard and painful when emotions are involved, talking about my own experience!! I used to put other people before me 🤷🏻♀️ kind of sucks... I'm starting with me now, loving me, thinking about me, and sometimes it is like I want to do the same and put people before and when that is happening I start to slowly disappear for a few days to think about what I'm doing
.. the thing is that i know I need to work on myself more, need to improve for example right now, this year I decided not to involved in a emotional way with people because I still need to learn how to put myself first and not like something selfish! You know I think this is something we should learn since we are kidz, how to love yourself first but Meeeh! We make mistakes to learn that !!! And not only that, there are the shitty people you get to know along the way too 🥴
I was kidding a bit early, but i'm agree with you!

Anybody that tells you that they haven't had some of the bad experiences and pain is part of the problem. Just sayin'
What do you mean by that cause I'm having some ideas about what you say but I'm not completely sure
I agree with you 100% on what you say.
