How do you gain someone's trust when they have been hurt a lot in the past by other people?

you must give them time to heal and don't be to pushy take your time let them see you will be there for them just be by their side ..

one of my friends asked me the same question once i told him "u need to let them know that your srry for wat the other people might of done but you not like that and tell them u can trust me no matter wat" but don't use that to get there trust then crush them. well hope that helps you. (>^_^)>

you don't focus on gaining their trust, you just focus on being their friend and the trust will come. that's something they either will feel or they won't. I'm going through the same thing with someone and you can't push it no matter how much you want it. i have problems with trusting people myself so i know both sides of it. to be trusted we must be trustworthy, i just live and treat others the way i would want them to treat me and things just seem to fall into place...i then can only hope they are doing the same by me.

tell them to f u c kin trust you
