I probably give my trust too easily. Last night I realised someone I deeply trusted and looked up to had been completely exploiting it. Not fun. And yet I still feel it's their problem in a way. I like my ability to give trust. Will try to keep it.
Ugh. If I'm reading it correctly, it sounds like one of those, "you asked for help given premise (A) but really needed it for (B) and the deception was deliberate" episodes. That particular exploit is rough. I haven't one one of those since I was working as part of a shitty team.

Yes. I tend to underestimate how much information people want from me (a lot) and how much they really want to help (not a lot). What I learn from this is that I really want to help people and to help them avoid this kind of stuff.

There is a very good book that I have not read, do not know if it exists, and, want to read, on rules for boundary-spanners/information-brokers.

I think if you want to allow for and foster your own personal growth (in any form), you're inherently vulnerable. And the people who try to protect themselves against the associated exploits don't realize how they stunt themselves in doing so.
(It still hurts though.)
