Yeah, I hear yah. THing is with me, despite being fucked about with in normal ways (Like everyone gets fucked with) I did have a big event that changed my outlook on how I deal with people.
Its all to do with a property that I unknowingly let someone run up huge debts on, to the point it was going to be repossessed. I had to find a large sum of money to avoid loosing it, and then when I did go to sell it a couple of years later, this other, different guy, ended up screwing me over and I lost out of few hundred thousand pounds.
OK, once bitten, twice shy etc, and as such, I blamed this on my trusting nature. I kinda stopped trusting people and cut myself off a bit from normal social situations. I wanted to avoid anyone getting too close to me, to basically protect myself.
However, now, with hindsight, I feel it wasn't me being too trusting, but infact it was a case of me being too loyal. Yet I never really thought about it this way till I saw the westworld episode and it set me thinking - Hence this thread
