No. It’s also good to be skeptical of people that seem like they are operating in good faith.

Example: The decade+ of people worshipping at Musk’s feet only for him to reveal himself as a malignant narcissist.

The deciding factor on whether to believe someone should not be whether they believe themselves, but whether they are worth believing. A murderer who acts in good faith is still a murderer.
