I learnt somewhere else the value of taking people at face value and not assuming motives that may not be there..
For example if my worst abuser was a female with green hair...
I might (unconsciously perhaps) assume that other females with green hair would also be abusive..
Do you assume that certain “types” of people are to be avoided or even shunned.. without any real evidence other than a gut feeling..
I have learnt to trust my gut, it’s usually accurate
But still I’m sometimes disappointed in people
