I used to be. But life taught me otherwise.

I'm cynical about a lot of things, but I'm also quite gullible about many others. I often take spoken statements too literally, for instance, when it's obvious to others that those same statements are made in jest. It provides much laugh-behind-the-hand hilarity for my workmates, which is never fun...

I feel I've grown wise, yet I can still fail utterly to correctly anticipate how people will respond to things that I say. I'm not gullible. Quite the contrary, I see sinister plots and cons and scams where none exist.

I'm unbelievably naive, I am improving but I always have to be very cautious, if not bordering on paranoid for the rest of my life to avoid being burnt socially. Although sometimes there is a good side to my naivety, NT's who are not naive or innocent tend to pretty judgmental of people based on things like physical type, which I am not.

I'm not sure how naive I am or how gullible. I do know I am not as naive as I was few years back. When I was with my boyfriend, he told lot of stories to me that i found hard to beleive. I even found myself having troubles buying what he was sayign and mom told that's because things he says is BS and he just makes up excuses.

I used to be incredible naive but now I would say that it's average. Interestingly, I don't really know how this change came about.
