Naruto Uzumaki pt. 5
So, basically, Naruto won't trust anyone right off the bat, and it will be very difficult to gain his trust. He will probably automatically come to the conclusion that someone is trying to get him in trouble or take advantage of him even if a normal person wouldn't think anything of the sort. Related to that distrust, he believes that most people aren't good, and that they just act good so others will trust them. That's why when something bad happens to someone he'll probably say they deserved it, even when they've been nothing but giving and nice. He will also probably take great amusement in it.

Not always, but there will be sometimes Naruto will go out of his way to fuck someone over. If someone is mean to him, or wrongs him (in Naruto's own opinion), he may exact revenge on them. However, he won't do anything that will land him back in prison, and that's probably the thing he's most scared of. So if someone threatens him with that, saying they will call the cops on him, he will probably cooperate in a second and do whatever they say. In that way, he is very easily manipulated.

However, if Naruto feels someone is actually being nice to him from the goodness of their heart, he will tolerate them. Naruto doesn't have an easy time being friendly, but he does have ways of expressing his thanks to someone. Maybe he'll buy them a burger and leave it on their desk. Maybe he'll hold the door open for them if they're walking directly behind him. But it all depends on how much he feels it's worth his time and how deserving the person is. Even someone who is nice to him has the potential to become someone he distrusts. It may take someone a year to get into his good graces, however it may only take three seconds for them to ruin all of that and alienate him.

Most people will be alienated by him. Naruto is forward and blunt, but when true emotions are in question for him, he can become completely closed off. He is extremely socially awkward, and even if he does want to be nice to someone, he probably won't be able to do it correctly. He'll be more likely to hold himself back and chicken out, because he's not used to talking to other people civilly and he's scared to let anyone in. Also, instead of getting in fights he's more likely to give up and turn the other cheek, mostly because he doesn't want to go back to prison for any reason.

More than just socially awkward, though, Naruto doesn't have any real idea on how to live a normal life. He's used to people taking care of him, so he has to learn life's lessons the hard way. People may see him typing on a computer keyboard at a snail's pace using only one finger, because he never got typing lessons. He always pays for things with cash, no matter how expensive, because he doesn't know how to write a check (and doesn't have any checks, anyway). Even though he lives in a box (more or less), he'll make extravagant purchases on the spot, then decide he doesn't even know what the hell the thing is he just bought.

But most of all, Naruto doesn't think he needs anyone. Despite the gaping hole of loneliness inside of him, he would rather be alone. Or at least that's what he tells himself.
