True, but whenever interacting with other human beings one can actually come across individuals who can be delusional, psychotic, have warped minds and be on the fringe of some kind of mental illness.

The examples I posted are an example of how individuals can seem so trustworthy and normal and yet have a whole other side to them that they keep from sharing with others that can actually be quite toxic. I shared these examples simply to show how anyone can be deceived, even by someone they really thought they knew and could trust.

Interacting with other human beings is always a challenge and all we can do is learn our own mistakes that we may not have realized we made and do our best to try to not engage with individuals that can challenge us to engage in some kind of toxic scenario. This relationship forum is full of scenarios where different members have shared how a friend, spouse, family member they thought they could trust had a part of them that they never knew existed and have been blindsided. Depending on what a person experienced it can have a huge affect on how that person can find a way to trust again.
