I’m sorry about that! It would never occur to me to not stop somebody on the street to try and help them. I guess it just goes to show how different experiences shape out outlook. But now I’m very curious what that experiences you had? |
Not the pp, but I think law enforcement. |
Thanks ! (Google search suggested Land's End.) |
Law Enforcement |
Scammers mostly, creepy men too. Now I don't engage at all to find out. I was in Montreal recently and this 50ish yo random man tried to stop me as I was walking with my kids asking if I speak French (I do). Why would he single me out of all people on a very busy street? It was very odd and I pretended I could not hear him. Because I am a short, petite harmless-looking woman and seem kind (which I am, but not to strangers in this context anymore), I have to protect myself more and watch out. |
I don’t trust men at all. |

I don't trust most people, TBH. I don't think most people are bad nor untrustworthy but to me, trust is the most important part of a relationship. And that has to be earned.
Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of people. Most people, really. But for me to really, truly trust you, I have to know you very well. And once trust is broken, I may forgive you and even grow to like you again but I will never feel totally safe in the friendship. Because if I can't trust you, I don't really need more than a surface level relationship with you. |

Doctors. Unfortunately.
I don't think they are malicious, but they don't know what they don't know. |
This is astute. |
They truly do. It's wild. |
Teacher here, and teens lie a lot, too. It's not just the "bad" kids. Often, their parents aren't aware. It's something teachers learn to work with and around. |
| Dentist. They are con artists. |
