11 sinais inconfundíveis de problemas de confiança e como superá-los
Ter problemas de confiança é comum, mesmo em relações saudáveis. O problema é que poucas pessoas estão dispostas a admitir que as têm.
O que caracteriza os problemas de confiança? Uma completa falta de confiança nos outros, esperando constantemente algum tipo de traição, e um medo doentio de abandono.
A falta de confiança é comum nas relações românticas (devido a experiências passadas negativas), mas também com familiares e praticamente qualquer pessoa que se cruze consigo.
Numerous factors play a role in your lack of ability to build trust. Sometimes, it’s due to a relação tóxica que resultou numa grave traição de confiança, o que o torna desconfiado em relação ao seu atual parceiro.
Isto, por sua vez, afecta negativamente a sua relação atual, uma vez que a reconstrução da confiança deixa de ser natural para si.
Se um ente querido o traiu no passado, isso pode levá-lo a criar um mecanismo de defesa para evitar ser magoado novamente.
If any of this rings a bell, and you’re having a hard time figuring out the root of your issues, keep reading.
The signs below will help you figure out why you can’t seem to trust others and how to stop letting this affect your new relationship.

Tenho problemas de confiança? Veja os sinais mais comuns
Has a toxic loved one affected your mental health so much that building trust feels impossible? There’s only one way to find out…
Antecipar uma quebra de confiança sem ter uma razão para o fazer
Será que tenho problemas de confiança se consigo encontrar algo de errado nas situações mais inocentes? Sem sombra de dúvida.
A sua falta de confiança é verdadeiramente enfatizada na sua incapacidade de relaxar a mente e desfrutar de uma ligação genuína. É muito provável que se mantenha fechado em todas as suas relações (românticas e platónicas).
Afinal de contas, este é o seu mecanismo de defesa no seu melhor. Está sempre a dizer a si próprio que, se estiver sempre alerta, nenhuma traição o ultrapassará.
Mas o que não compreende é que isso mesmo o leva a trair-se a si próprio e às suas hipóteses de felicidade.
Evita o compromisso quando se trata de relações íntimas
It’s not that you’re hesitant to enter a romantic relationship. You’ve probably done okay on that front, but only on the surface.
While you keep telling yourself that your current relationship is on the right track, deep down, you know you’re not fully invested. Not emotionally, anyway.
Desenvolveu um caso grave de fobia de compromisso that you keep justifying to yourself. But the thing is, I don’t think you believe your reasonings at all anymore.
It’s just something you want to believe so that you can keep entering shallow relationships and avoid the risks that come with a deeper relationship.
Nunca te abres verdadeiramente com ninguém
You never let anyone know the real you. When’s the last time you shared your fears and insecurities with a loved one?
My guess is it’s been a while. I understand, though. Your trust issues have to stem from somewhere. Whoever caused you to be this untrusting must’ve done a real number on you.
Isto fez com que nunca deixasses ninguém aproximar-se o suficiente para quebrar as tuas paredes. Esta é a razão pela qual tens questões de empenhamento. But did you know that this isn’t healthy for your mental health?
You can’t keep going through life not sharing anything with anyone. One day, you’ll realize the severe consequence of this unhealthy lifestyle.

A maior parte das suas relações são voláteis
Every new relationship you enter fizzles out due to its draining nature. You either pick someone who’s not on your wavelength, or you go for the unattainable type.
Either way, it’s volatile and unhealthy. There is no peace, harmony, or understanding that a healthy relationship should have.
Há imensos problemas de confiança, discussões loucas e apaixonadas e, provavelmente, compensam-se um ao outro no quarto.
If I had to hazard a guess, I’d say that your steamy sessions are the only thing keeping you with your current partner. Because, if there’s no trust, what is the relationship based on?
Fica excessivamente aborrecido com um erro honesto
Fica preso a coisas que os outros simplesmente ignorariam e deixariam passar. A sua tolerância a erros (ou a qualquer tipo de traição, por mais pequena que seja) é zero.
This is what makes it so daunting to be in a relationship with you. Disappointing you is not an option, and when your partner or anyone close to you makes a tiny mistake, they know you’ll go off on them.
Este é um sinal claro de problemas de confiança. No momento em que alguém de quem gostamos faz, sem querer, algo um pouco perturbador, levamos isso demasiado a sério com medo de que possa levar a algo ainda pior.
Most of your friendships aren’t very deep
This is difficult to admit to yourself, but it’s necessary if you’re eager for things to change. You know a lot of people, but you’re not too close to many of them.
You get coffee, go on an occasional night out, and text now and again. But when it comes to a genuine connection and being able to call them at 2 a.m. during an emergency, it’s a no-go.
That’s what problemas profundos de confiança fazem-nos. Tornam impossível ter um grupo sólido de pessoas a quem se pode chamar amigos íntimos.
Desconfia de todas as pessoas novas que conhece
Sempre que uma nova pessoa entra na nossa vida, temos vontade de navegar pelas suas plataformas de redes sociais para ver o que se passa.
Mantém uma distância saudável, apesar de não ter razões para isso, e nunca se permite partilhar demasiado sobre a sua vida. Mesmo que essa pessoa seja um amigo de um amigo, a sua guarda está sempre levantada.
If you’re honest with yourself, you can see how messed up this is, but you just can’t help it. You’d love nothing more than to trust others with more ease, but no such luck.
Esta situação, por sua vez, começou a criar um fosso entre si e os seus entes queridos que é cada vez mais difícil de ultrapassar.
Os seus entes queridos consideram-no impossível de agradar
Be honest, have your loved ones ever confronted you with your inability to trust and how it’s affecting your relationships?
Have you ever been told that you’re virtually impossible to please and how annoying it’s becoming? And have you ever taken the time to consider what they’re saying?
Regardless of the cause of your distrustfulness, when it starts messing with your most precious relationships, it’s time to start doing something about it.
If you don’t, every relationship you hold dear will soon start to unravel.

You’ve started to feel like an outcast
Sem surpresa, tudo isto começou a fazer com que se sentisse afastado das pessoas.
Slowly but surely, you’ve stopped getting invited anywhere, and you feel yourself slipping away from the few people you felt close to.
You never thought you’d say this, but you’re starting to feel like an outcast. Not just from your friends, but your family too.
While this is not something anyone should ever go through, you have to be aware that it’s self-inflicted. When you keep letting your trust issues taint your relationships, what can you expect?
Tem dificuldade em perdoar e deixar ir
If you experience a betrayal of trust, you don’t ask questions. You write them off from your life. There’s no talking to you.
If someone’s not perfect and without faults, they don’t deserve a place in your life. That’s what you tell yourself.
Forgiving is not something you’re accustomed to. Letting go of things is even more challenging. Even if you tried, you’d just keep replaying that one slip-up in your head over and over.
You know that relationships are far from perfect, and that being able to forgive is vital. But for some reason, you just can’t.
You’re distrustful of people in general
Regardless of whether it’s a close friend, family member, or a romantic partner, you double-check everything you’re told.
You’re not sure where this need has come from, but you take everything you hear with a pinch of salt.
Não é de surpreender que esta seja uma caraterística da maioria das pessoas com problemas de confiança. A sua autoestima está seriamente abalada, pois as experiências de vida e as relações passadas tornaram-nas assim.
A confiança tem de ser conquistada e, até agora, sente que ninguém conquistou a sua. But here’s the deal. If you want to create meaningful relationships, you have to start working on rebuilding your self-esteem.
Some of the reasons why you cannot build trust with anyone are legit. But sometimes, it’s all in your head.
Se uma pessoa não lhe deu quaisquer razões para duvidar das suas intenções, porquê sujeitar-se a uma tal provação?

Como ultrapassar problemas de confiança em 5 passos simples
É assim que pode, lenta mas seguramente, começar a ganhar confiança com as pessoas novamente. Nada acontece de um dia para o outro, mas com algum esforço, as coisas podem mudar para melhor.
Accept that sometimes, you’ll be let down (and you’ll survive)
In case you haven’t heard, nobody’s perfect. Therefore, expecting everyone around you never to do anything wrong is naive.
What I want you to do is try to accept the fact that, yeah, people will disappoint you sometimes. It’s going to suck, but guess what? It happens to all of us, and we all get through it. So will you.
When you start seeing life for what it is, as opposed to what your preconceived notions keep telling you, you’ll be able to form genuine bonds with people.
You’ll start seeing that just because your partner messed up one time doesn’t mean they don’t have your best interest at heart.
Se o seu melhor amigo had to flake on you due to an emergency, that doesn’t make them a bad person.
Significa apenas que a vida se meteu no caminho. As coisas acontecem, nós lidamos com elas, e depois simplesmente seguimos em frente. Experimenta!

Permitir-se ser vulnerável e correr riscos emocionais
We all struggle sometimes. Heck, even Drake wrote a song about the very topic of this article. Check out his ‘Trust Issues’ lyrics, and you’ll see that not even global superstars are immune to being distrustful.
I’m saying this to help you realize that without putting yourself out there, you’ll never be truly at peace. Be vulnerable. Allow someone to break your heart (all the while, hoping that they won’t).
We all take risks every single time we give our hearts away. There’s no way around it. So take a leap of faith and let your guard down. Be emotionally invested and experience true connection.
Don’t you think it’s high time to start letting go of the burdens of your past?
Don’t give out trust freely – people have to earn it
Drake’s ‘Trust Issues’ aside, this is something you surely understand. Giving your trust away just like that is not an option.
If someone wants to be in your inner circle, they’ll have to earn it. But, this doesn’t mean you should be cold and distant. Just because you’re unsure of someone’s trustworthiness doesn’t mean you need to ice them out.
Be friendly and cordial, especially when meeting new people. You don’t have to relay the story of your life to them.

All you have to do is think back to your past issues and face your demons. It sounds scary, but actually, it’s so cathartic!
