That’s a long time. But I don’t believe any of my guys would have stayed if their feelings weren’t real.” “I’ve struggled with trust issues – most girls have,” she admits. “But I trusted them unless they gave me a reason not to. If you go into this situation looking for the worst, you won’t find anybody.” • For more about JoJo Fletcher’s journey to find love, pick up this week’s issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday And while Fletcher did previously experience what it’s like to be on the other side during her time on Ben Higgins‘ season of The Bachelor, now that she’s running the show – and making some incredibly tough choices – she tells PEOPLE it’s “exciting but overwhelming” to have multiple men falling in love with her. “It’s so crazy,” she says. “Watching it takes me back to each moment.

It’s all such big stuff. It’s very exciting but also overwhelming.” The Bachelorette airs Mondays (8 p.m. ET on ABC.
