💘💔 WHY DOES IT HURT SO MUCH? HOW DO I GET OUT OF THIS? TALK TO ME! 💔💘

I feel so hurt and offended that people I considered close take advantage of my naivety and open soul 💔 I always believed in kindness and honesty, tried to see only the good in people. But time after time my expectations are shattered by cruel reality... People to whom I trusted my most intimate thoughts and feelings turn my sincerity against me. They lie, betray and manipulate, and each time I am left with a wound in my heart that does not heal for a long time 😔

How can I stop trusting people with my soul? How can I learn to protect myself from pain and disappointment? It seems to me that by losing this naivety, I am losing a part of myself, my faith in the best. But at the same time, I understand that I can no longer allow others to use me. I need to find a balance, learn to recognize those who are sincere and those who are just pretending. But how do I do this? Help me...
