Dear Juliet,
I really need your advice. I have always found it hard to trust people, especially after what happened with my best friend last year. She promised to keep my secret, but then she told everyone at college. Now, whenever I meet someone new, I don't know what to believe or what to expect. I want to open my heart again, but I am scared of what could happen if I get hurt. What should I do to learn to trust others without feeling so afraid?
