This is something I've been thinking about. NT's pick up on me being "untrusting" and "reserved" Although how i don't know, it's like they have radar.
I mentioned that in the teen forum and an aspie i know said he had the opposite problem of being too trusting.
With me I'm automatically skeptical of most I don't know who suddenly PM me with "hi how are you? "what are you up to?" I'm like what do you want? what are you after?

Yep. I'm either one extreme or another.

I have reasons for becoming untrusting. I've had had negative experiences in the past so I'm very cautious with people, I also have some severe anxiety going on. It's not uncommon for people with bipolar to have paranoid delusions, which happens to me if I start having alcohol/ stims/ late nights or just stressing out more than usual.

I can still become naive at times and end up getting into the same situations, so I must also be somewhat cautious.

I'm hardly in control of myself at times though. Impulsive, inattentive, etc.
