I was driving home from work tonight and realised that everyday at work People need to trust me. Even though people trust me with their lives, I can't trust people. I need help, but I can't ask for what I need from those who are my friends. I have shut down from my friends and have stopped talking. I don't know what to do.

Hi hun , i dont know your history but there is a obiouse reason why you cant trust people only you know this ,try to take a step back and see if you can figure out what this maybe unless you do know the reason ?
talking is a very important thing when it comes to shutting yourself down please if you do know the reason let us know and maybe we can help....if not why do you feel you cant trust? too many people let you down ? you feel silly when you explain how you feel?
you are no different to anyone else hun and we all have feelings but babe you need to open up x hugs x

I think a lot of us have trust issues. I know when I worked it was especially hard. I eventually had a few close friend that I could open up to and it did make life more comfortable. Take your time but it will make your life better. Hugs

((((((hugs)))))) I could have written that post, hun. If you find the answer, let me know, but in the meantime, take baby steps in trusting others. Be gentle with yourself.
