Why not people trust others ?

This is what I reply to one member here about how trust to people.... " When we trust other people, we may not only be giving them something in hope of getting something else back in the future, we may also be exposing ourselves in a way that they can take advantage of our vulnerabilities. If I buy a car from you and I do not know a good price, you can lie to me so you get a better bargain. If I tell you in confidence about the problems I am having with work, you could use this to further your own career at my expense. Although the threat of retribution or projected feelings of guilt can counteract your temptation to abuse my exposed vulnerabilities, if you succumb I still get hurt and may still end up with the shorter stick. For our transaction to complete successfully, I must be able to trust that such agonies will not come to pass." Happy Holiday my friend.

Why does he think you cheated him? Did you offer anything such as a service or advice or anything at all that he might feel like you have cheated him? In today's society everyone has to be careful because most people are out to get you so to speak...not that there is anything wrong with you are that you are trying to cheat people but there are few who are like that and maybe he felt that to protect himself he would have to not trust anyone...trust is built upon not given dear...now a day's it's really hard to come by...you have to build a reputation and to give them a reason to have faith in you in order for them to trust you...
