I've learned that people tend to believe that everyone else is like themselves. The baseline for a dishonest person is dishonesty, so they believe that everyone else is dishonest. Since they tell lies themselves, they find it hard to believe that others are telling the truth.

By the same token, honest people tend to believe that everyone else is honest.

In over 12 years of reading and posting on this forum, I can't remember ever disbelieving anyone. I have disagreed a LOT, but I don't remember ever disbelieving.
