Something Doesn't Feel Right

I got a gut feeling tonight about someone.
Something keeps telling me I should dig deeper.
When my gut tells me something, I have to listen to it.
I could be totally wrong, but I'd rather run the risk of being wrong
than to find out the hard way.
Because there were times I didn't listen to my gut.
There were times I did listen and was right.

I have a really hard time trusting people. Really hard.
Like when I went to go across the country to meet my ex in person,
we talked on the phone for like 8 months before we met.
I saw him on webcam before we met.

People can build up fake profiles. With stolen pictures.
There are catfish and scammers all over the place doing this.
I have yet to see one video in a year!
Not that I'm dating him or anything.
Been 'friends' on social media for like a year
and haven't even talked much until recently.
But I have done videos. People know I'm real. It's not a fake account.
I'm not pretending to be someone I say I'm not. It's me on there.

I really want to be able to trust but people make it so damn hard!
So then I get skeptical... I start looking... I start wondering.
WTF am I REALLY talking to?!

When I first got my ex's phone number I searched it.
I even told him I searched it. Apparently some call girl had his number
before he got it and that's what came up.

I should really get in the habit of searching people before I start trusting them.
Because I start trusting them then get this gut feeling
that hey, I don't know this person all that well.... Are they legit? Are they real?

He offered to help me with something, but I get a vibe
like this is too good to be true. Like some catch going on...
Now I want to stay up all night looking, searching.
Because of that feeling I got earlier that just... It got to me. Y'know?
Can't be too careful. Of course I shouldn't even be talking to people I don't know.
Not all people are out to get everyone or are all scammers or whatever,
but there are a lot of scammers and they like to get people's guards down
then blindside them when they "trust" them.

Like I said, I want to give people the benefit of the doubt and trust them,
and I think that time will reveal who is legit and who isn't.
Maybe I'm worried for nothing, but maybe it's not nothing.

I'm not finding a whole lot, though. Not sure if that's a good sign or not.
