For what it's worth, the comparisons are quite different. In the example of being told things which were not entirely true by a local girl, you would have been deliberately mislead by her.
However in the situation which has happened to you, it's much more likely to be a case of reality turning out to be far different to what she'd hoped it would be. All of us are able to guess how we'd cope and react in certain situations and we make decisions based on those guesses. But reality is never like how we imagined it would be. Things not turning out as we'd like them to is a long way from deliberately misleading people.
Never regret anything that has happened in your life. It cannot be changed, forgotten or undone. So, take it as a lesson learned and move on.
