I was 18 when I trusted someone who betrayed me. Should I feel embarrassed for being so trusting, or was I just young and hopeful?

No live and learn everyone makes mistakes. We all have be there. When you hold onto bad stuff in the past it only holds you back from making a better future. I use to think holding onto pain would make it so I wouldn't ever feel it again. In reality holding onto that pain I was still feeling it everyday. Learn to love yourself even for your mistakes, and you will do things that make you love yourself more because you already feel good. Good attracts good and bad attracts bad.

Don't worry lassie, these things happen.

I suppose the question to ask you is how it impacts you going forward. Does it stop you trusting people now? Has it jaded your heart?

nope crap happens.
You just move on and hopefully learned something from it, so you do not repeat it in the future.

Probably not, but it depends on what happened. You have had plenty of time to learn and move on.

[mat678]

It's normal to trust someone. And people of any age can get betrayed. It's normal.
