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.

  • My mother says I am too trusting. But then again she's my mom. I do not believe trust is a word I use often to describe someone. I am not naive or gullible either, I just really do not care what I have to lose when I give. But OH YES: I am honest, too honest. But no, I feel alone, most of the time, I do not think anyone is the same as anyone.

    You see the word "Normal", lock it in a box, throw the key in a river, throw the box in the trash and burn it. 

  • In 100 years nothing will matter anymore anyway.
    So why even care ?.....

  • Not really relevant but this doctor who quote came to mind.

    "Madge: I don't know why I keep shouting at them.
    The Doctor: Because every time you see them happy you remember how sad they're going to be. And it breaks your heart. Because what's the point in them being happy now if they're going to be sad later. The answer is, of course, because they are going to be sad later."

  • That’s rather profound, lovely and sad
