Anyone have similar experiences with abusive people?

I once had so called "friends" who turned against me. I thought I could trust them, I took them too literally, they verbally and emotionally abused me. They put me in a state of fear complete with nightmares and extreme anxiouty. The progress I had made with making friends was literally destroyed. I am now picking up the pieces and trying to overcome my fear of the world. I am looking for support from my fellow aspie comrads who have gone through similar experiences.

My own friends used me, my own friends bullied me. I had one online friend turned against me and I had another online friend who has bullied me online but we became friends and then he started to make fun of me about something and I was put off with his trolling on youtube he was doing to one of my other online friends so I blocked him. I don't think I should ever become friends with any of my bullies because they can decide to be mean again. I never said anything to him about it because I figured he wouldn't care because he liked calling other people emos who get hurt feelings and stuff and I didn't want that from him.

I gave up trying to make friends a long time ago. It was a conscious decision. The only thing that did work for me was when I was still living at home, if my sister liked somebody, then I could be friends with them. But I'm absolutely no judge of character myself. Maybe it's about missing social cues.
