I used to believe people could read my mind too, and that it was no use trying to hide any thoughts because I was transparent. It's only lately I've discovered that when I really try, I'm able to mislead and deceive about my real thoughts as well as anyone else. With practice, I've stopped being transparent.

I thought it was okay to hit when someone does something you don't like and it was okay to hit if they don't listen to you and I thought it was okay to slap their mouths if they said something you don't like. Why? My mother spanked me for those reasons so I thought it was okay to spank people so I did it to my friends and brothers but not in school because spanking wasn't allowed there.

When I was young, my mother used to constantly correct my grammar when I spoke. So, I just assumed that this was what people did; correct other people´s grammar, if they knew better than the people speaking. So I used to correct people whenever they said something grammatically incorrect: needless to say, this didn´t go over too well!

I'm not Catholic. When I learned about transsubstantiation, I grilled my Catholic friend on whether it's meant to be taken literally, and if so, why Catholics eat their god. She got offended and wouldn't answer my questions. :cry:

You know how people would say you'd get square eyes from watching too much TV? I used to believe my eyes would actually turn square.

I used to believe, and this was not something someone suggested to me, that there were only 2 non-white families in the world: my east Indian friend's, and my asian friend's.

I used to believe that pushing people was rude in all situations. Actually, in a crowd, you're supposed to push people some, otherwise you'll never get anywhere.

^ Really? Is that why people waiting in line always insist on standing on top of each other? That always drives me nuts. You're not going to get to the front of the line faster by making narrower spaces between the same number of people. Just chill out and let the person ahead of you have some breathing room.

I wish more people would realiz this. When me and my dad are in line for a rollercoaster at a theme park, we will stop moving for a while and let there be some space between us and those ahead of us, just so we have space. When people start bottle necking, we immediatly make it so we get past the bottle necking without being bottle necked by making people wait to start moving.

Oh, wow, that one!

You know, I could make a list like some of the others here, but this is the one thing that has caused the most damage (by far).

Sometimes, people don't say things because they believe those things, but because of what I will do if I believe those things.

I was completely unaware of how intentionally conniving some people can be.

I thought that a vast majority of people would not do such a thing. And I believed that I'd be able to spot those who would.

I was wrong. Very wrong, indeed.

This is particularly poignant given the fact that the friend I'd trusted more than anyone else I ever knew to that time turned on me four years ago today ... it was in my search for understanding of her betrayal that I finally learned how naive I was, in just these terms. Brilliantly said.
