Why is it that sometimes people think if another person is kind, there is some sort of ulterior motive involved? Like, “She wants something” “Oh, she’s trying to win and steal my partner” or “What is she up to?” It’s sad we’re so guarded and lack trust. At times, you don’t even want to be kind anymore because people will misinterpret and misjudge.
The sad part of this approach is,they will most likely lose potential friends. In most cases, distrust will never convert into trust for these people as no one wants to be tested for their trustworthiness.
