I stood up for her, initialy, for the same reasons you're saying - but it's gotten to the point of ridiculousness, now. Just listen to them for two seconds and at least give them a -chance-. They obviouly knew something about you. If she could just shut up for a second and listen to something someone has to say, instead of exploding at everyone the nurse wouldn't need to restrain her. She's just over the top.

Okay, but what if Belle doesn't know how to stop and listen to what someone has to say? I doubt she is calm and thinking in that moment, Okay, sure, I'm safe in this town. Sure, I'll trust this person here.

No. One way to rationalize Belle's behavior with all strangers who she does not recognize is that she does not trust anyone.
