I'm not worth this much energy

So far so good, you both have a lot to learn about yourselves and each other. Age really means very little. Life experiences, individual maturity levels and, above all, trust mean so much more than age.

I know it is next to impossible to build that trust to the point that it allows both of you to share yourselves 100% but, that's where it needs to be for a relationship to work for the long haul. I know, rare, elusive, almost dream relationship and, not something those of us older an wiser (??) honestly expect, wish and hope for yeah, but the odds of it happening are pretty slim.

Work on getting to know and trust yourselves and each other, and see where it goes. Maybe good friends is it, maybe more but, don't rush, just let whatever builds do so and, don't make a mess again.
