Gotta follow yer gut when you meet people. That nagging feeling that something isn't quite right is your instinct alerting you to a danger that isn't obvious to the eye or ear.
I met a guy a couple of years ago who became good buddies with several other people I know. Nobody knew much about him, only that he had moved from northern Cali and he liked to drink and party. I didn't much care for the guy in the beginning, but he kinda grew on people and I found myself playing cards or dice and smoking weed and having a few beers with him every once in awhile. But I'm pretty cautious and tend to keep quiet and watch other people and learn, so I never let him into my cycle really, which is mostly legal med patients anyway. But a few months after he entered the area people started getting busted for stupid crap and I mentioned to a few people that every who was getting shaken down were buddies of this other guy.
Most of the stuff people got busted for was small and petty, but one guy were a grower and got popped with a few hundred plants and some weight, so he went to court. He was sure surprised when his new friend from California walked in to take the witness stand wearing his pretty uniform.
Trust your own instincts... Even if everybody you know trusts somebody: If YOU feel apprehension or anxiety around somebody, there is a reason for it.
It isn't Paranoia if a threat is real.
