Hi Anita,

Absolutely.

I’ve read before that the only way you can learn to trust people, is by trusting them. (Kinda obvious, but the simplest option is rarely the easiest). I don’t place a lot of trust in others. I protect myself in that way, and maybe vicariously its a way to not really engage in my life. Detaching myself from the pain of having trust broken isn’t healthy. It puts all responsibility on me, and when I cannot live up to that, I feel like I’ve failed a figment of my imagination that is what I would’ve thought my dad to be like.

But like you said, it’s a scientific approach. Try something, evaluate, proceed/digress, etc.

I hope I can make that a part of my life.
