Distrusting other people

Description

Distrusting other people involves deliberately withholding trust to prevent exploitation, deception, or harm. This strategy aims to protect individuals or groups from potential risks by critically evaluating others’ intentions and actions before engaging or sharing sensitive information. It serves as a safeguard in environments where trustworthiness is uncertain, prompting verification, caution, and the establishment of clear boundaries to minimize vulnerability and address issues such as fraud, betrayal, or manipulation.
