Anyone finds themselves incredibly naive?

I am 26 and I feel very naive to the things around me. I feel as if now I am slowly realising properly that a world exists outside of my own head. It feels embarassing to realise this, and scary to admit that I don't understand basic things that people around me do. Budgeting and financing, managing expectations, understanding myself in a balanced way, managing responsibilities well. I'm now slowly trying to catch up, but it's difficult because I really feel as if I am really behind my peers. 

Something that is helping and it is hard, but to trust that some of those around me that I am well with won't judge me if I ask simple questions, and try to take my time to process these, instead of trying to force myself to grow up quickly on my own, something that I have been used to doing for years.

Does anyone else feel this sense of naivety?

  • I do find I am niave and so have many times been led astray so to speak by another. Just recently I was caught by a scammer and though I know this happens to others as well, but I believed some pretty stupid things. But I did call my dad before deciding to do something about it. He advised claling my bank and I was quick enough to stop any transactions. I'm much older than you. What helps me is just knowing that I need to ask for help from those I trust as you say. 

    I find it very difficult to believe someone has lied or decieved. When faced with a the fact somone lied about something I am shocked even though I know people lie all the time. It's a weird contrast.
