Characters who are suspicious of kindness towards them

[Rijan]

Looking for novels with characters who are unused to kindness. If they receive a kind gesture, they're suspicious towards it or don't know what to make of it or how to react. Thank you!

Thank you very much! I've read Carrie when I was a teenager, maybe it's time to re-visit it. Thanks!

Not exactly *suspicious*, but profoundly uncomfortable with kindness would fit the Murderbot books by Martha Wells.
