To start

with my experience how I felt fierce distrust towards anyone was when, I almost got beaten by a bunch of rich alcoholic neppo babies and his side men to death and most of my friends which allegedly at that time were quite close to me did nothing to fight or even save me.

Short story long, As a side hustle I was working as a waiter for some out door catering company for a few days. My shift timing turned out to be during dinner service.

Everyone had a great time from the guests to the staff. The event turned out to be a success. We were closing the venue after eating our dinner while simultaneously talking about how hard next few days will become when suddenly out of nowhere, a strong commotion was starting to build up at the bathroom area which was a few meters away. I bolted towards the general direction to check what was the matter. I saw the catering company owner slapping the life out of a kid while choking his neck with his other hand certainly under the influence, yelling lot of cuss words at him. This kid also came to work part time like me, but he seemed underage to be working and surely he was no match for this drunk fat dude for a fair fight. I rushed to seperate both of them and asked the owner to calm down advising him to talk the situation out in a civil manner.

I think, this made his ego hurt thus making him to throw weak punches at me. I was quick to react and dodged everyone of his punches making an untrained bloke like him out of breath fast enough. Seizing that opportunity I took the guy down on the bathroom floor while securing a triangle choke on his neck. After struggling for a few moments he started to plead and yelling stuff like he will not do anything to that kid and he is sorry for his behavior and also, he will pay more to compensate the kid for his behavior towards him.

When I realised that he was out of rage and was calm and collected to a point. I let the man go. I didn't wanted to make a scene there so I told the boy to get cleaned up and leave, as these people are not worthy to be working for.

As I was starting to leave the area myself too. I saw people starting to gather in quite a large number. I rushed out from the venue and went towards my friends who were waiting for me to leave for the day together.

I told them what happened at the bathroom and that the situation doesn't seems right, before we could leave this guy who was begging and pleading a few moments ago brought his big brother and 20-25 men from his catering company to beat me. Then suddenly out of no where this guy started brandishing and pointing his revolver all over my face saying he will shoot me and fake my case to police saying he shot a thief trying to trespassing his property and also boasting about his high ranking contacts at the police department.

He brought up a lot of racist remarks towards people of my race, which made me figure out what kind of naïve privileged individual he is and his unhealthy amount of ego.

At this point every one of my friend fled from the scene. Not one of them stood there besides me even friends with whom I was together since school times. Those friends towards whom I was financially and emotionally invested, left me there alone to potentially die for no solid reason.

The caterers tried to hurt me with a lot of hooks and upper cuts while banging my head onto the wall behind me but I was already guarding my vital body parts using my hands while in guard position.

I then boosted his narcissistic ego before they could severely hurt me by apologizing for my mistake of not knowing the true reach of his power and reach of his connection while crying holding onto his feet. *Miraculously it made him leave me alone and I walked out of there alive in the dark without turning back. *

In the end

after that incident, I have a big trust issue when I appoint individuals as my friends because ultimately it's easy to be friends when everything is fine but when the storm comes that shows what your true friends are made up of. I don't stay in groups now. I'm a loner. My family is more important to me than anything there is to offer. Maybe this was the incident that made me distrust everyone's intentions else proven otherwise. Maybe it is the feeling of distrust which makes the feeling of trusting someone thousand times more satisfying.

Thank you for reading.
