You Can't Trust People

Oh. My. God.

Why am I so gullible? Like, why do I just believe that people are really who they say they are? I know I'm not supposed to believe it. I'm supposed to assume that they're all pedophiles or whatever, right?

Right. Which I do. Until we start talking about the smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, and then I'm like, "Hey, this person thinks that the smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies is like, orgasmic. They can't be evil, right?"

Uh, wrong. Everyone likes cookies. If you're reading this and you're thinking, "Um, actually, I HATE cookies," then I suggest that you run because there are a lot more of us than there are of you. Just saying. Anyway, evil people can like cookies too. Anyone can like cookies. So obviously I can't judge people by that.

But I didn't KNOW that before this happened.

I just don't have common sense. Or maybe I'm not paranoid enough? Well, I certainly am now. I think I finally understand why my mother told me not to talk to strangers online. Obviously, I didn't listen to her (who does?).

Anyway, the point is, you just can't trust people. Like, if you meet someone who seems REALLY NICE and REALLY FUNNY and EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED IN A PERSON, they're probably not who they say they are. On the other hand, if you meet someone who is just a total jerk, they're probably really a total jerk. Because why the hell would you pretend to be a jerk if you aren't one? Why would anyone do that? I have no clue.

I really have no faith in strangers.
