[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it depression, or the sad reality of humanity? Most people suck. Most people are only out for themselves. It’s a hard reality. You are jaded, your heart, calloused. Mine, too. The thing is, you have to decide what to do with this new-found discernment. You can let it corrupt you, or you can use it as a tool. Chin up, OP. It does get better. [/quote]

OP - It is human nature but I was protected it for awhile I guess. I saw the ugly side up close and personal.

What do you mean “use it as a tool”? I could use some wisdom from those who faced this and bounced back. I have decided to keep my inner circle very small. I have always tried to be a good, honest person so it’s particularly jarring.[/quote]
I went through a similar betrayal and it changed my whole option of people. I saw it turning me into a cold, jaded person, and I didn’t like that version of myself. I could’ve let the betrayal turn me bitter. I felt it happening. But instead of hardening, I chose discernment.So instead of shutting down, I decided to use discernment. I didn’t close myself off, I just started paying attention. I watched patterns. I listened to how people talked about others. I noticed who showed up consistently. I learned to trust actions more than words.[/quote]
