Very.
Sill virgin. Idealistic about women being perfect.
Everyone can be trusted. Car salesmen are just trying to help me right? Dont they have my best interests at heart?
I am born lucky. One day the tide will turn in my favour. Hence I started a gambling habit.
My older brothers are still gods. They have the last word on everything. My world view is inferior to theirs.
Money is the root of all evil. If I obsess over money I will go to Hell.
 

Maybe I was naive, but I didn't have time to think about it .. as I was already married and expecting my first baby.
 

Same as Bonnie. I was married and had a two year old by the time I was 20. I probably was a bit naive back then-and that actually lasted until,probably,my 50`s lol. I`ve always taken people at face value and been very trusting. But at the same time,I`m a pretty good judge of character. I have seldom been "sucka-fooled" (to use a phrase my kids and their cousins always used lol.
 
I was not naive at 20. I was very involved in the anti-Vietnam war movement and was very knowledgeable about history, current events and political systems. I met many people of different backgrounds and traveled extensively. Being from a large city I had and still have "street smarts." I also had the benefit of growing up in a family who would discuss everything in depth, especially the realities of life on this planet.

I questioned authority.

I grew up in a country town. I skipped the rebellious teenage years where you question everything. Guess I had a delayed puberty.
 
When I was 20, I knew exactly what was what. I had arrived. The world was my oyster. Well, by age 30, there were no pearls in my oyster. During that 10 year period I spent 4 in the US Navy; and 3 mos being unemployed., when outside of McDonald's I couldn't get a job. And I realized things about my sexuality and beliefs. At 20, my friends were getting married, by 30, they were getting divorced. At 20, I got my first apartment; at 30 , I got my first house. I may not have been so naive, but I was truly inexperienced.
 
Guess it depend what the subject is, by age 20 I had been there and done it all.. Later I was such a responsible person it makes me sick. To be young and irresponsible (age 20-25) my only chance is reincarnation in my afterlife. Not going to worry about it today, my back, knees and pocketbook hurts. As I ponder my travel down the road of life I was a SADGFNMF, but no one had more fun than us Polocks.
 
Very and unfortunately still am 🤫😬
Note: even though I’d already been in my own for 4 years.

However in many way I was way ahead of my time. I just didn’t give myself enough credit for it.
