first off, hello hippoJUB 
and
to the site.
second, don't think for a second this is the wrong place to ask for help. it's an amazing site with amazing people for the most part. since it's a large forum, there is a wide variety of people. sorta a reflection of the "real world."
third i want to offer a hug
or two. 
it takes a certain amount of courage to post personal information out there for all to see and well it's like baring your sole. if this were a sheet of paper i'd except to see a lot of tear stains on the page. i can feel the emotion behind your words, don't fear that you didn't get them across.
i'm not a psychologist or therapist so i'm not going to claim to be one. if you've recognized that you have some trouble trusting people, then that seems like a place to start. trust is not always easy to give especially when you've been burnt by people you were close to. i've learned that sometimes we tend to place to high of expectations on people, so high sometimes that no one ever meets them and we feel constantly let down. this has happened to me several times. trust is a huge issue and if you have some problems trusting then i would think that would be a significant hindrance to making an emotional connection with someone.
again, i'm not a consoler, but have you considered seeing one regarding trust issues? i don't know if that would help or not, i really don't. i was just wondering if you had tried it?
