Too quick to trust, and quick to go into a  state of non bizarre paranoia when I belatedly realise I may have been taken for a sucker.

  • I was repeatedly taken advantage of by so-called friends in my younger days. This made me into an adult who is very slow to trust others and I frequently second guess my own reactions when I think someone is being nice to me. Basically "Why are they being nice to me? What do they want?"

    I think this is very common amongst autistic people.
