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.

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.

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.
