Why do I trust people less as I get older?

I'm 38. And every year I get older I find myself less and less trusting of people. And by that I generally mean, I'm expecting more and more people to try to take advantage of me in one way or another, i.e. through lying or any other kind of deception.

Is this something everyone experiences as they get older?

Perhaps people really have become more self-serving? I mean, that's what it feels like to me. But I've been wrong in the past, and will be wrong again in the future.

Thoughts?
