It's awefull to hear that people have betrayed you in the past. I have had some negative experience with that too. But thinking about that period; these people were not "my kind of people". I know it's sometimes hard to distinguish, but try to surround yourself with only the right kind of people. Trust them with something small and see what happens. If they handle it right you'll know they are good.
And yes, you can learn from youtube, stack overflow and all these great communities, but sometimes you are left with no choice and have to work with others. And you might as well let them help you and learn from them.
I have learned a ton from youtube (welding, machining, etc), but my experience is that having you explain something in person and being able to ask your own questions is so much efficient.
But then again; learning is something very personal and you'll have to figure out what suits you best :)
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
