prove it,

a newspaper clipping would be nice.

i know. im not that gulliable

i'm naive, gullible, credulous, trusting. it's a hell of a life. these days i trust no one but god.

I'm getting better at it; if I see someone too gleeful while relating some 'amazing' fact, tips me off, most times.

I'm Gullible (you can be taken in, even if you should know better) as opposed to naive (not knowing better in the first place).

I ask too many questions. Does this mean I am guillible/naive?

You NEVER know!

I went to a church I heard had a LOT of stars. YEAH RIGHT! Well, it DOES! I actually sat near gavin mcleod, and dean jones, as well as others.

I heard a rumor that the vice president(campaigning for president) was going to talk in the park next door to where I lived. YEAH RIGHT! If not for the people I saw the previous day, that wanted to find out about access to the roof, I would have believed it even less. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bush WERE there!

An ASIAN kid told me Justine Bateman was his god mother! YEAH RIGHT! I MET HER! He told the TRUTH!

I guess I couldn't prove to you guys that I even went to a restaurant with my mother and the ONLY other customers were Ron Howard and his family. It is true though.

I heard about Bill Gates stimming, etc... even saw a video here showing it. YEAH RIGHT! I didn't believe that EVEN though the behavior he had, that almost KILLED M/S, DOES, in retrospect, sound stereotypically autistic. Well, my father knows him personally, and said he DOES!

BTW I ALSO know a guy that SUPPOSEDLY, and there is some evidence to back it up, knows an ex astronaut, and they supposedly played a part in writing a book about aliens from the pleiades. I have seen some stuff they supposedly worked with , though, that was certainly terrestrial in origin. It was downright UBIQUITUS! Just their luck, that I could understand it all. It kind of reminds me of the liars cub!

I liked that show, even though it WAS often too silly.

So did spokane girls claim sound THAT phony? WHO KNOWS? None of the claims I made here are false!

I upset a coworker a few months ago. I asked about a piece of paperwork he needed to get signed and return to me and he told me that he'd never seen it before so he'd thrown it away. I told him that the paperwork was required by federal law and he just shrugged and said he'd never seen it before and didn't have any intention of getting it signed. I made a formal complaint against him with the quality department. It turns out, he was joking and never expected me to take him seriously (or at least that's what he says now.) I told my counselor about it; he doesn't think it was much of a joke, either. I'm still a bit pissed about it.

I would say... both.

I've been easily fooled or cheated in the past.
I've also had held number of uninformed, immature beliefs about the world and the people in it.
If I had to pick on over the other....

I am still more naive than gullible. The rules and norms of the world and human society still seem largely foreign to me, although I seem to be able to navigate when someone is trying to get the better of me.
