I'm sure that you can relate to this, I was once in that position. I isolated myself, started to stay at home more and not socialise with most of my friends. I built a wall so I was sure that no one could hurt me again, it felt good at the time but I realised that there were people out there who really did genuinely love me and wanted to help me and spend time with me.
It took a long time for me to be able to put my trust in people again, I had to build a foundation with people and ensure that their hearts were in the right place. One of the biggest things I had to do was to open up to people and tell them what I was going through, it was hard at first but step by step I began to open up to people.
Months later and now I've changed my mindset towards people and my behaviour towards them. It's still a struggle but with God's grace I will break that mode and be free to talk to others.............
A huge test was when I had surgery in September and during recovery mode I had this concept that not many people would take interest in what had happened but that concept totally went out the window as some of my church family came to see me and that was such an encouragement to me. Since then I have become more open and it has benefited me in more ways than one.
What I would say is that there are people who will have a genuine passion to help you and look after you. Those people might just have the key to your heart. Let them in, let them comfort and help you. Let them help you become free
“Bear (endure, carry) one another's burdens and troublesome moral faults, and in this way fulfill and observe perfectly the law of Christ (the Messiah) and complete what is lacking [in your obedience to it].”

I would love to hear your stories and hopefully encourage some of you to achieve freedom.
You can do it if your change your mindset. One Love
