Feeling like I can't trust anyone anymore?

Anonymous
I'm not trying to sound conceited. But I am an attractive girl and I have had to deal with jealousy from others my whole life. People who I thought were my friends have turned on me out of jealousy, and others have tried to ruin my reputation out of jealousy as well. The older I get, the more I feel I can't trust anyone because I never trust that they actually have my well-being at heart.

I was always a kind person, but dealing with backstabbers can turn a person cold. I don't want to become a typical "bitch".

How do you deal with low levels of trust due to jealousy and competition from others?
