I do find it hard to trust people. And not without reason, when your own parents abandoned you (both through actual abandonment and through neglect and abuse), then running the gauntlet of a number of toxic workplaces I just find it really hard not to see the world for what it is: a very dark place.

Not watching the news helps. But only to a point.
