People. I suppose I'm just afraid of loving someone because I have a hard time trusting people. Any books about that?

It's all a lie. You will always be disappointed. Your ideal of love is better than the 'real' thing.

Erich Fromm's The Art of Loving is pretty good so far. A short book written by an associate of the Frankfurt school. A bit outdated in some respects but also has good insight.
