How do I trust people who are not being honest w

I know people aren't being honest with me. Some think it's for my own good and some not. Some have been determined to prove something that was never true. Some just think it's the right thing to do. I am at the point where I don't know who is safe to be around. I'm now to scared to go outside by myself. I even get scared people are trying to test me in online classes.

I know it can't be all happening, I know not everyone is out to get me. Not everything is a test, I just don't know who is who or what is what anymore.

I don't know what's real and I don't know how to stay stable when I'm afraid of everything. Each day I wake up scared and go to bed scared. It's my permanent state of being.

I don't know how to stop this steady erosion of my sanity. I try to keep on going with life but I'm lost and alone and I can't risk letting anyone in to help because they keep letting me down.

@Gillie1 It sounds like a real impass. You are brave for speaking out and sharing your story. Real friends with genuine, authentic regard for you can be few and far between.

And also, some people you perceive to be lying might not even be aware of their own inauthenticity... More is to pity.

I think in a way you will find strength and wisdom at the other end of this.

I'm sorry to hear you feel this way @Gillie1 😞

Do you have professional support? Like a counsellor, meds, psychologist or psychiatrist?
