Gullible

Im not sure what I’ve done wrong but lately it feels like I’m being gossiped about for some reason and I’m not sure why.

Could someone clue me in?
Was it the girl with the whip picture I put up ?
It was a joke but if I’m upsetting too many people then I’m probably best leaving the site.

I don’t wish to make people uncomfortable.

Wrong thread
Need to start a new one;
'Do you consider yourself paranoid?'
 
My biggest fault is that when I meet someone ''really nice'' I tend to put them on a pedestal and then find out they are human and have flaws and I get disappointed. That's where my cynicism comes from.

If any members think I’m BS’ing I’d rather they call me on it and tell me what they think I’m bs’ing about so I have a chance to know what it’s about rather than ostracize me.

I have never seen a single instance where I thought you were BS'ing.
I find your posts to be informative and entertaining and I would be pretty unhappy if you left this site.

Where on earth did that come from Keesha ? I havn’t a clue what you’re on about, my post certainly was not aimed at you I would hope you knew me better than that, it was supposed to be an amusing reply to your original topic of gullibility and I thought it might make people laugh...maybe I should curb my British sense of humour, sorry if my post offended you or any other members

Don't dare curb your British sense of humour Wren .:giggle:

I've just read this thread, and I knew immediately you weren't making reference to anyone in particular ..sorry keesha, this ain't your first rodeo girl, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. You gotta lay off that stuff you're growing , it's making you ultra paranoid, no-one to my knowledge, is talking about you behind your back.
 
I think that gullibility isn't the same ever time, there is not a
definable set of rules that covers it.

I say that it depends on the situation we can all be very sensible
and intelligent yet gullible in the wrong situation, I am speaking
from experience here.

Mike.

Well I learned early on that trust has to be earned, and that if something sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Like Ronald Regan famously said, "Trust, but verify." I learned that lesson very young, and to be honest, it has served me well, so I guess it was worth it.
 
I think I’m a little of both, I’m not gullible about phone calls telling me the IRS is coming after me or the rest of the stuff their peddling . I am gullible about meeting people n liking them then finding out their full of BS that’s where I become a cynic the next time I meet someone!

What exactly are you getting at?
Are you insinuating that I’m bullshitting and if so what am I bullshitting about?

Nope. You're just setting yourself up to fail, so you can remain comfortable with your default, which is cynicism.

Nothing wrong at all with your reply Wren, it's obvious you were commenting on the thread topic and not taking aim at anyone. Don't change a thing about yourself! 💙
 
Not gullible at all. This ruins a lot of relationships too. But when you see through someone/something what else can you do? :sneaky:
 
Trusting comes hard for me, I've been used by manipulative people too many times.
But when I do (rarely) come to trust a person's good will, I want to believe what they say.
It's really a function of my need for their approval.
Doesn't happen very much.....two people in the last ten years.

How gullible are you?
I consider myself a fairly intelligent woman but am incredibly gullible?

Why is this?

It’s not like I lack life experience.

Where does being gullible come from?

Do you consider yourself gullible?

i am not gullible when it comes to purchases but, i am very gullible when it pertains to people. i tend to believe whatever nonsense they fill me with. it is usually lies and i end up suffering.
