How do I trust people more?

I recently got out of a really abusive relationship and now I have a terrible time trusting people. I have had panic attacks before because didn't believe what people said. I feel like people are intending to hurt me. Like in the back of their mind they want to guilt or control me. I am really scared to speak my mind a lot because I fear that they will hate me, and when they say they aren't upset I have a terrible time believing them. I take things way too personally. The smallest thing can hurt me. I get very confused with peoples motives now, whether they intend to hurt me or not, I have a hard time. Sorry this isnt the best wording, my mind right now is really cloudly and confused. Thanks for reading and/or responding.
