I’m starting to realize that I can be pretty judgmental, though I’ve always thought of myself as very open minded. In my situation I think it started as sizing people up for safety reasons, because I’m mostly a loner so I have to watch my own back as I was born and raised in a place that started to become very dangerous in my late teens and early 20s. Now I’m seeing it as very polarizing and I think I might be missing out on meeting really cool people.

Mild mistrust is a healthy trait. You can still meet people while keeping distance, not overshare, etc. Better to expect the worst and be positively surprised than have high hopes and end up negatively disappointed.
