erring on the side of suspicious

i have this terrible habit of reading between the lines. so nothing can ever be just as it seems. this job has made me so suspicious of everyone. are you a nice(never been married) man who volunteers his off time to mentor young men(and sometimes have them come live with you)? or are you creepy? are you really passionate and launch into 10 minute spiels that have nothing to do with what we were actually talking about? or are you possibly on coke?

i feel like i’m required to give everyone the hairy eyeball just in case. because god forbid they actually do turn out to be creepy and coked up. in retrospect people would say “didn’t you see the signs?” when it could’ve just as easily gone the other way. it’s sad that he could just be a passionate, kind, giving man and those same characteristics make him suspect.
