This immaturity/laziness theory is curious. Personally, I have asked myself if my problems are just me being lazy. Is it really so simple? And if the meds do help, does that negate the idea of immaturity and laziness?
As for the trust, identifying lies, etc., I have no good ideas. You can have a gut feeling about a person, but I think it's different than when you do a depo. You only get a short amount of time with a depo. With someone who are potentially interested in, I would like to think that more time spent with them will help you call them out on their shit. Obviously some of the lying that you speak of (like herpes disclosure) is very frightening, but I have no idea how one figures that out. I began to worry about that more and more as I got into my 30s.
