Ahh thank you @joebrochin, that's honestly the nicest thing I read today (and I read a lot of things today)!
Of course, I have not become a completely distrustful person. In fact, I still put a lot of trust in people, but I try to be a bit more careful out there. I put this story up because I needed to get it off my chest as well as a reminder that there are people out there who are not entirely honest in their act even if they seem they have everything together. I don't mean to discourage anyone, that's why I was trying to write it with humour.
Thanks for your lovely comment!
