Trust and Social Naivette

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 think I have a strange situation with it—unless it is someone nice, then nope, no trust. It's strange, considering that I haven't been able to form any meaningful friendships in-person, yet I'll trust someone online as long as it is not an offer of some kind—as long as I don't give into my thoughts saying that I should do an almost-paranoiac investigation of them. For the part about Autistics are likely easier to take advantage of, I think I agree with that.
