How trusting are you? If someone presented themselves as a good person would you immediately take their word for it? How easy to manipulate do you consider yourself? I'm sure it's not just Autistic people who are taken advantage of. But are Autistic people easier to take advantage of? Do you present yourself as honest? And do you see other people as being the same as you? Because often they are not.
I would say I am very untrusting now because I was too trusting when I was young and was taken advantage of, including by people I thought were friends.
I've been wide eyed in many social situations and then later come to regret my innocence. For some people life is just a game. And they will use you up and spit you out.
they will use you up and spit you out.
Ive had friends who would just use me to do things for them since they knew I would. But then they never actually cared about me unless they could benefit, once im no use they move on.
Yeah, i know the feeling.
Me too. One of my childhood best friends was exactly like that. He would keep using me and I'd keep going back to him to be used again.
Yes opportunists, out for themselves.
I am pretty good at spotting it. I am too honest fir my own good, but i wouldnt want it any other way.
People take advantage.
In fact, i think this may be why i distance myself, im done with people, they are noisy ️
