It's not very fun when you finally realize people you thought were being nice were actually being rude.
Even if you are good at noticing, I would advise against trusting anyone completely simply because you can never know anyone but yourself. You don't even really know your own parents, as they are the only people with access to their thoughts and feelings.

I can relate to the extremely gullible or extremely skeptical extremes. I have a tendency to say things I regret later at times when I'm being overly relaxed or trusting with the people I'm talking to. And then at other times, I worry that people are mad at me or that they might turn on me. :-/ UGH. Maybe I should just become my own best friend.
