Wow, people shock me

I know that everywhere you go, you can expect to find that one person that talks bad about everyone and will turn stories around, but usually those people are easy to seek out because they are always open about talking bad about people. In the past few months I have became friends with a woman who is 7 years my senior and I figured hanging out with her would suit me better because I rather be around mature and calm people. She has seemed like the sweetest lady and I have hardly heard her say anything bad about anyone. The only thing I have heard her say is warning me against talking with people I already know not to trust because they are this way. She seemed very trusting and confidential, and I talked with her like anyone would talk with a good friend to find out today that she has been taking things that I have told her that really are not bad and twisting it around to make me sound bad and telling other people. I found out when my boyfriend complained to me that he had heard she was saying bad things to people about him, and I began to question the situation with doubt, to find she had been saying even worse about me. I knew it was true immediately because the information about me was information I had only told her, even though what she revealed to another was half true. This same lady has taken me and my boyfriend out and invited us to her home and now is wanting my boyfriend to give her his number so she can start texting him on a regular basis. My mom says that it is normal for women to do this, but due to the fact that I'm a Psychology major, it makes me feel like women who do this have mental issues. I as a woman do not make up lies about other people and I don't understand why anyone would do this to me. It happens because this is not the first time I have met someone like this, but it taught me a lesson that even people who appear normal and trustworthy may be as sneaky as any backstabber ready to stab someone else.
