One possible reason could be his past experiences. Maybe he has been betrayed before in the wizarding world. For example, if he had been let down by so - called friends or allies who turned out to have ulterior motives. Another factor might be the general atmosphere of secrecy and intrigue in the magical community. Everyone seems to be hiding something, and Harry, being constantly in the middle of dangerous situations, has learned to be cautious and not trust easily.
Perhaps it's due to the constant threats he faces. Voldemort and his followers are always lurking, and Harry can't be sure who might be working for the dark side. In the fanfiction, it could be that he has seen too many people switch sides or act deceptively. He might also have trust issues because of the way the adults in his life, like some of the Hogwarts professors, have sometimes kept important information from him, making him feel like he can't rely on anyone fully.
One possible reason could be past betrayals. Maybe he was let down by his friends or family in the fanfiction's storyline. For example, if someone he trusted shared his secrets with the wrong people, it would make him hesitant to trust anyone again.
Another reason could be personal insecurities on Harry's part. Harry has been through a lot and might be over - analyzing Ron's behavior. He could be projecting his own fears onto Ron. For example, if Harry is worried about being betrayed again like he was by some people in the past, he might start to doubt Ron even without solid evidence.
One possible reason could be past betrayals. Maybe he has been let down by people he thought were friends in the fanfiction world. For example, if someone he trusted shared his secrets which led to him getting into trouble.
In the fanfiction, Harry's lack of trust could lead to a lot of misunderstandings. His friends may misinterpret his caution as a lack of care for them. It could also isolate him. People might start to avoid him if they feel he is always doubting them. This isolation could then further fuel his lack of trust as he has fewer positive interactions with others, creating a downward spiral in his relationships.
His relationships would become very strained. Friends might feel hurt that he doesn't trust them, which could lead to arguments and distance. For instance, Hermione might be constantly trying to prove herself to him, but he still remains skeptical.
Maybe he has been betrayed too many times in the past. For example, in the original story, some so - called friends or allies might have let him down, and this experience makes him overly cautious in the fanfiction.
It might start with small incidents. For example, Ron being late to meet Harry a few times without a proper explanation. This can plant the seeds of doubt in Harry's mind.
One possible reason could be that Naruto has had some past experiences within the team that made him feel betrayed or let down. Maybe there was a mission where he thought his teammates didn't have his back. Another reason might be that there are secrets among the team members that Naruto has discovered, and these secrets make him question their loyalty. For example, if one of his teammates was hiding a connection to an enemy, Naruto would naturally start to lose trust.
It could be due to miscommunication. In the fanfiction, perhaps there were misunderstandings within the family. For example, Naruto might have overheard something that made him think his family didn't have his best interests at heart, but in reality, it was all a big mix - up. So, he gradually lost trust in them.
It could also be due to Sasuke's secrecy. If Sasuke is constantly hiding things from Naruto, like his real intentions or new powers he's acquired, Naruto would naturally start to feel that he can't trust him. Trust is built on honesty and openness, and if Sasuke is being cagey, Naruto's trust in him will fade.
