It’s not you. It’s this particular person. I don’t think you should stop trusting people.

You shared on several threads that you have a blog in the same manner how some of us shared that we exhibit in art shows or sing in a regional choir or play in a band. No one else assumed it’s advertisement of services or invitation to be used. So whatever online place you shared your blog with this woman wasn’t advertisement of services.

I think you should continue working on your recognizing red flags and not trusting too soon and not share too much too soon. Give it time. I bet if you spent another few days communicating to this person or observing her communication with others you’d run for the hills.

Just take your time with people. Most people could be trusted, obviously this person is bad news. Unfortunate case of a person who can’t achieve anything in life unless someone else does it for her. Good riddance. Most people aren’t this way
