I do not blame a person for taking advantage of someone who lays himself open to it. I have often felt that strangers were looking at me critically. Most people make friends because friends are likely to be useful to them. I am sure I am being talked about. I am likely not to speak to people until they speak to me.
Most people inwardly dislike putting themselves out to help other people.
I tend to be on my guard with people who are somewhat more friendly than I had expected. I have sometimes stayed away from another person because I feared doing or saying something I might regret afterwards. People often disappoint me. I like to keep people guessing what I'm going to do next. I frequently ask people advice.
