i don't want to be doomed to loneliness forever, but i'm finding it very hard to trust and open myself back up to new people after a pretty intense cheating/breakup situation earlier this year (quit talking about it already!) the thought of not knowing whether someone might be a literal monster by first date/glance and opening myself up to that vulnerability again is making me really nervous, but i truly want to move on!! i'm sick of feeling stuck in the past but the thought of that happening to me Again makes me want to lock myself away Rapunzel style. any advice is welcome
