Do you trust most people ?

I don't mean close family or friends, (although I do not trust a few of those now and , subsequently are no longer friends).

But when you are with say, new friend (s), dating, in a new job, or just random strangers -do you feel most people are trustworthy on the whole.. or do you feel they will one day cheat you, lie to you, or say things they definitely do not mean... ? Do you tend to not be as social as you once were, due to this? I can say yes for this, unfortunately :(

I do not trust people I do not know well.

I think that’s quite normal not to be as trustworthy as adults.

When we were kids, we trust everyone because we don’t know any better. But the more life experience you have with people who let you down and are not trustworthy then you learn not to trust as easily as an adult.
