I think the first step is forgiving the people who hurt you. You have to realize your relationships just weren't meant to be, and no longer dwell on the things that happened between you and the guys who hurt you. You can't still be angry with them and have negative feelings towards them. You have to accept what they did to you, because that's the first step in moving on from it.

Then you need to forgive yourself. Maybe you blame yourself for trusting them, for not knowing sooner than they would hurt you. You had no way of knowing, though, so you need to trust yourself to trust others. If you don't trust yourself, you'll never trust anyone else.

Realize that the other guys you meet aren't the same guys who hurt you. Just because you were hurt doesn't mean they will hurt you as well. You'll never be 100% sure that they can be trusted. Trust isn't about knowing you can trust someone, it's about daring to trust them even when you're not completely sure you can. Sure, you might end up regretting it, but you might not. You have to be willing to take the chance.

Believe in yourself to make the right choice in friends and in relationships. Good luck.
