That leads me to two points:
1. You are not alone, and there are others out there affected by similar experiance and still hoping to find some others to RP with, and they are clearly wary.
2. Try to come to terms with why this happened to you and why it upsets you so much, so that next time you might spot the signs or at least be prepared. However, each situation is different and hope seems to be more powerful than fear.
Find a group of people who support you and build you up, don't put your energies into things that drag you down.
It is unfortunately common among Roleplayers that drama is inevitable and the people you started RPing with, one or two is likely to cause problems with you OOCly and you won't be rping with them forever. I honestly think everyone who RPs has been in this situation before. There's no real way to avoid it unless you stop rping all together.
It's a sad truth. I've lost some really good friends this way.
