Thanks for your response.
Yes, I really shouldn't lump all humanity into the bad category ... but lately, its been tough for me to trust people on first sight. I've unfortunately been having to live my life where if I meet someone for the first time, I have this "guilty until proven innocent" attitude LOL.
It'll take some time for me to regain "trust" in society as a whole.
I hear you, regaining trust takes time, in some cases can take many years, I hope you find many more friends in the future that you can trust. Steemit may just be one of those places where you can start to regain some of that trust in humanity, you never know. Good luck
