I’ve come to the realization that my belief system has let me down. Everything that I believed in and thought was true turns out to be quite the opposite. This isn’t an easy thing for me to get my head around, I mean how can ones belief system be wrong? is it possible? well the fact of the matter is reality is king and reality wins every time no matter what. I just chose to ignore the signs and opted to live my life in a bubble. I was too scared to step out and face the real world. I’ve learn’t so much about myself in the last few months, I just hope that I will have the strength to pick up all the pieces and move forward as a better stronger person that isn’t afraid to look reality in the eye.

I am a little confused. How can your belief system be wrong? Doesn’t everyone have their own , unique belief system? And your point about facing reality .. yes , that is important but isn’t it a little different to your belief system being wrong?
I think you have come very far and while the road ahead looks bleak you will grow and learn from it. In the end , you will be ok and that is all that matters. Focus on yourself now .. you need it !

Gary, have you thought that there is nothing wrong with your belief system and maybe the fault lies at the feet of the people you believed in

perhaps I worded it badly. There isn’t anything wrong with my belief system but it is just that a belief system. I missed the fact that there are beliefs and there is reality. At the end of the day reality will always win, I was under the impression that my beliefs were reality. Realising this made it easier for me to come to terms with the last few months.

No, you did not word it badly, it is your belief system that dictates your charcter, your integrity and the honourable person you are
Other people do not have your insight, integrity or honour and dissapoint you
Without a belief system we have nothing and are nothing
