LOH Contest 275 : I've always judged badly from the first meeting because I only see the good in people and instead they always screw me over! (ENG/ESP)

Good evening, community! Here I am again, after a long time, participating in this community's contest. I chose this question: > When have you completely misjudged someone upon first meeting them and later discovered that they were much better or much worse than you originally thought? Unfortunately, this is something that's happened to me often, and alas, always for the worse. I have a very tolerant nature, some would say too much, and even too trusting. Let's just say I rarely recognize the so-called red flags upon first meeting. In fact, I always try to see the good and the best in people even when it's not there, which, yes, is a good thing, but often turns out to be a real bummer. I'll tell you a couple of anecdotes about the case, for example, my best friend in high school, everyone told me she wasn't a real friend, she was the kind of friend who always belittles you, who judges your choices with envy, who never likes what you do, how you dress, how you behave, and yet I loved her and ignored these ugly sides of her character. From the first meeting, she had seemed kind to me and listened and tried, then one day I discovered that she was speaking badly and insulting a homosexual classmate, I would never have expected that from her!
Obviously, I defended the girl and from then on she started attacking me too for the way I dressed, because according to her I was gay too (which even if I had been there would have been nothing wrong with that) and as a friend she started denigrating me in front of the class, a real disappointment!
¡Buenas noches, comunidad! Aquí estoy de nuevo, después de mucho tiempo, participando en el concurso de esta comunidad. Elegí esta pregunta: > ¿Cuándo has juzgado completamente mal a alguien al conocerlo y luego has descubierto que era mucho mejor o mucho peor de lo que pensabas? Por desgracia, esto me ha pasado a menudo, y por desgracia, siempre para mal. Soy muy tolerante; algunos dirían que demasiado, e incluso demasiado confiado. Digamos que rara vez reconozco las llamadas señales de alerta al conocerlo por primera vez. De hecho, siempre intento ver lo bueno y lo mejor de las personas, incluso cuando no lo tienen, lo cual, sí, es bueno, pero a menudo resulta ser un verdadero fastidio. Les contaré un par de anécdotas sobre el caso. Por ejemplo, mi mejor amiga del instituto. Todos me decían que no era una amiga de verdad, que era de esas que siempre te menosprecian, que juzgan tus decisiones con envidia, a las que nunca les gusta lo que haces, cómo te vistes, cómo te comportas. Aun así, la quería mucho e ignoraba esos aspectos desagradables de su carácter. Desde el primer encuentro, se mostró amable conmigo, me escuchó y se esforzó, pero un día descubrí que hablaba mal e insultaba a un compañero homosexual. ¡Jamás me lo hubiera esperado!
Obviamente defendí a la chica y a partir de ahí ella empezó a atacarme también por mi forma de vestir, porque según ella yo también era gay (que aunque lo hubiera sido no habría habido nada de malo en ello) y como amiga empezó a denigrarme delante de la clase, una verdadera decepción!


But unfortunately, similar things have happened to me as an adult, too, with my first official boyfriend for example. The first date was exemplary, romantic. He was kind, perhaps too much so, thoughtful, attentive, and remained so throughout all our first dates. Then, when we lived together, he revealed his true nature: tyrannical, offensive, angry, rude, and he candidly admitted that he'd behaved well at the beginning just to win me over! How stupid I was to believe him. Or like a former friend of mine who was also my client. I sold cosmetics and she was always nice and kind to me. She often bought me things, and sometimes, if I could, I'd give her a discount or a gift. Then one day she ordered a set of rather expensive lipsticks from me, but I trusted her, brought them to her, and she asked me to pay for them the following week, and I said, OK, I trusted her. Guess who was blocked on every phone and social media? Me! And I never saw her friend or the money again. Unfortunately, this is to say that I have often judged badly during first meetings because I always think well of people and then they screw me over, and I have so many similar stories to tell. Today I would like to say that I have changed but I'm not sure, but I have become a little more selective after so many screwovers!
Pero, por desgracia, también me han pasado cosas parecidas de adulta, por ejemplo, con mi primer novio oficial. La primera cita fue ejemplar, romántica. Era amable, quizá demasiado, considerado, atento, y así siguió siendo durante todas nuestras primeras citas. Luego, cuando vivimos juntos, reveló su verdadera naturaleza: tiránico, ofensivo, iracundo, grosero, ¡y admitió con franqueza que se había portado bien al principio solo para conquistarme! ¡Qué tonta fui al creerle! O como una antigua amiga que también era clienta mía. Vendía cosméticos y siempre fue amable y simpática conmigo. A menudo me compraba cosas y, a veces, si podía, le hacía un descuento o un regalo. Un día me encargó unos labiales bastante caros, pero confié en ella, se los llevé y me pidió que se los pagara la semana siguiente, y le dije: «Vale, confiaba en ella». ¿Adivinen quién estaba bloqueada en todos los teléfonos y redes sociales? ¡Yo! Y nunca volví a ver a su amiga ni el dinero. Lamentablemente, quiero decir que a menudo he juzgado mal en las primeras reuniones porque siempre pienso bien de la gente y luego me engañan, y tengo muchísimas historias similares que contar. Hoy me gustaría decir que he cambiado, pero no estoy segura, ¡pero me he vuelto un poco más selectiva después de tantas decepciones!

Ouch, what a violation of trust by such deceptive individuals would make me skeptical of any other person's motive. It is terrible how our culture's values have declined. It is sensible to be more cautious but we should still exercise respect.
