Inclination to trust people after an abuse of loyalty.
I saw a classmate who didn't appear to have any friends, and I felt bad for them, so I started sitting next to them at the dinner tables and we quickly became friends. I'd only known them for maybe two weeks at most, when they suddenly demanded a large sum of money from me, money which I neither had at the time, and a transaction that my family would not have approved of. I politely declined their request, and their whole personality changed after that.
They got jealous whenever I was talking with my other friends. They started to send me aggressive messages, and started to spread rumours about me, rumours which were not believed due to my good standing with everyone, lack of evidence, and also because of how bizarre they were. I even had people come up to me and tell me, "Elaine, they're making up stuff about you, what's going on?"I believe they may have gotten expelled because a few days later they stopped showing up to school.
I think with time it'll get better, but I'm going to be at least a little suspicious of people. Time will tell.
