I'm an older person (not going to tell you how old I am) and I believe things have changed. 

The reason why I'm writing this is because:  1.  I want to know if things have changed and  2.  I feel comfortable with the people on this site since I have been here for 6 years. 

I am going to write this in a list because I think it may be quite extensive, and if I don't do so, it may be hard to follow.    A lot of this (or most of it) is personal information, and even though I am a very  private person, I would like to write this because I would like information above and beyond my friends

DECEPTION:

The last two guys I dated (and unfortunately I was in love with them) were psychopaths.  The second one did a real NUMBER on me.  He was the most DECEPTIVE person that I've ever met in my whole life.  (Not going to go into it, but believe me, it's true).  I lost ALL trust in humanity, then I began to trust women, (in the beginning) but I don't know if I could EVER trust a man again.  Actually, I used to be the most GULLIBLE person you'd ever want to meet, and now I am the most SUSPICIOUS person you'd ever want to meet. 

My ex-boss LIED to me and about my wages and cut my wage in HALF.  (Don't work there anymore.  From now on, I'm getting my salary IN WRITING).

I had a physical problem, two of my girlfriends DUMPED ME over it.  (Fair weather friends.  I also just had to dump ANOTHER fair weather friend just recently). 

RUDENESS:

Why are people so damn RUDE, especially over the Internet?  I think that they are a bunch of COWARDS for they'd never say what they say to you over the Internet to your FACE.

Whatever happened to civility?

Have PEOPLE changed, or have THINGS changed?
