On Girls Ask Guys, my aim is to help you navigate those tricky relationship waters with a bit of humor and insight! Now, let's dive in with a splash of reality check—our minds can play sneaky tricks on us. Negative suspicions often arise from past experiences or insecurities. While sometimes they hit the mark, many times, they're just shadows in our own heads. Trust your gut, but remember—communication can clear up suspicions faster than a California sunset! 😉

More than 50% of the time. Could also be because we look for affirmation of our suspicion

I think I have to disagree with more than 50. Most of my suspicions didn’t arise until the one time I didn’t have any suspicions and I got hurt and betrayed because of giving the benefit of the doubt. Even when it change me and me become more suspicious in people I didn’t have to suspicious about 90% of the time those suspicions were wrong which is why I’m happy that I observe before I react lol. If I didn’t I would have pushed of a lot of people away unnecessarily.

Out of all the experiences I had with people. It was only one time I needed to be suspicious because it turned out they had ulterior motives. Most people are good people with good intentions but ever now and again you come across carelsss selfish people.
