Okay, I guess this would be the place to put this. I'm not shy professionally, but around women, I definitely am. I was married, but after she cheated on me and divorced me, I had serious trust issues and haven't pursued a relationship in 10 years. Recently, I tried again, and she ended up having Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and basically annihilated any trust I had left. EXTREMELY vindictive for no reason. I am SO sick of being alone, but between my shyness and trust issues, I'm basically screwed, right? I mean, I see someone I would like, but then I think, "yeah, she'd just destroy you." I'm trying to go out and meet new friends, but I have a hard time getting close because I don't trust them. It's kind of a catch 22.
