Reply #5: Also, don't you think your post is perhaps a tiny bit judgmental?

I'd already thought of the possibility of self-fulfilling prophecy, but as it concerns the person on Facebook, I mostly dismissed the idea because of prior experiences with this person. It's possible she's changed. I know I have. So I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt for now.

My prior experiences with people have made me gun-shy, but considering some of the things I've gone through, it's perfectly understandable. It's also understandable that I've lost faith in humanity. I'd like to regain some faith in our species, but even when I "start over" as I have so many times--clean slate; no baggage--there have been serious problems before too long. I've tried many different approaches. Currently, I mostly don't care, but care enough to wish I cared.
