how do I learn to stop being so defensive?

I have major trust issues. I postbmy mother my senior year of highschool. and this event has left me self-inclined, quiet, not being able to trust, invulnerable, etc. I have a lot of anger and uncertainty inside; I have so much hostility or animosity. I get upset over little things, that wouldn't have mattered before her passing. I want to be the happy person I was, and it's bringing nothing but negativity towards my self and other friendships, relationships. What should I do?

    I know this is easy for me to just write and is probably really hard for you, but think you need to try and communicate a bit more with other people and learn to trust them. How about joining a club if you have not already.

    Also talk to someone, be more open and find some people that you can easily learn to trust.

    HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!!!
