I think a lot if us were brought up in similar ways - the good news is we can change if we want.
It was hard for me to trust, but I worked on it - I think communication is really important too.
I was raised to think that women were somehow fundamentally different to men and that it wasn't necessary for guys to share their inner most stuff.
Thankfully I've had some great partners in my life and I've learned women are people too - people will respond if you reach out, regardless of gender
