> If you try somebody and don't connect or trust them, try to find somebody else

What do you do if part of your condition is that it is really hard for you to connect with and trust people?

The first thing to try is to bring that up. By stating that you struggle to trust people, you can ask them to help you examine what thoughts you have that are associated with trust in the first place, and that's really helpful in developing a mindful understanding of what's happening.

Trust is also a push-pull thing in the first place, so going in with an honest attempt can help you gauge your reaction before learn who to trust.
