It s not surprising that something like identity theft may cause a certain amount of personality changes including the ways you relate to others. Identity theft attacks our innocence and belief in the trustworthiness of others. Some victims go through a period of time when they refuse to give anyone any information.

Many victims never see the world through the same innocent eyes again.
Identity theft is life altering. However, if you feel the changes have gotten out of hand, or people on your support team raise some concerns, it can be very helpful to seek professional help from someone who understands identity theft response or victimization. An emotion is your reaction to a situation. While it may not always seem like it, your reaction is under your control. He didn t make you angry.
