I can relate to bits of what pretty much everyone has said so far. Im not the greatest judge of character. I've had friends I trusted who ended up being completely untrustworthy. On the flip side I have judged some people as fake, to find out later that they are not being fake, they really are that nice! I wish I could take people at face value, but some people are so shady, and I've been hurt so much in the past, that I keep my guard up now. Im pretty much always trying to figure out what people's motives are, not necessarily judging, just observing.
