Sounds like a spiral down— where low expectations of other people start to self-fulfill. Social bitterness is toxic — people will avoid it or disrespect it. It’s not your fault, but you should know that there are really good people out there… but bitterness, disappointment, fear and low expectations can make it really hard to develop positive relationships. Many people (not all!) are willing to forgive and forget, so long as you don’t feel the need to dredge up past wrongs, but just focus on having good experiences together. Hope things work out.
