If you want my TRUST it must be EARNED, to those who think they can take advantage of me don't take me lightly, I am neither stupid nor feeble. My kindness and love come from a place of willing vulnerability, however, it is there because I have experienced things no one should ever endure. I have had plenty of [them] try to get to me in many disguises. They have stalked/targeted me since childhood. I've had to move to escape abusive handlers and they've attempted to take my life several times. I've lost family members. My walls are up for a very good reason. Respect yeilds trust.
