Even if it is reality, I'm still toxicly cynical even when inappropriate. The only people I trust are my immediate family and dogs. I won't even bother with selfish "friends" or romantic interests that can ruin my life with a single unprovable allegation that I similarly can't disprove beyond a reasonable doubt. Only trashy escorts who have a vested interest in not talking about the arrangement made.

Life sucks when you don't trust anyone. I'm not sure that it wouldn't be much worse if I did trust people.

Maybe. I remember your cynicism from months ago. To be honest, you seemed much angrier then. Did life/your coping improve in between?

Hm, I haven't quite figured out the trust thing myself, either. Then again, I'm not always sure I need to trust people outside of family and a loved one. It's probably best to expect people to be deceitful/small-minded/manipulative/etc....

Do you think there's a need to trust outsiders? What sorts of situations...?

More time has passed since I've been completely drug-free/alcohol-free, so I'm slightly less irritable but still an angry/hateful person to the core. I'm not sure there is a need to trust outsiders, but I assumed it was the norm as I see many people doing it. I personally can't think of a situation where trusting non-family is ideal, though I don't doubt such scenarios exist.
