What have you been the most naive about?

This is a great question!! In reading the responses of others I see it is a common naivety.  Thinking that other people are honest in their person and words.  I have been hurt so many times because I take what people say to heart.  Often I do not realize until it is too late that I ave been taken advantage of or deceived.  I am glad that now I am more cautious when dealing with people, especially guys...well I can't say that because females also.  Anyone that I am considering bringing into my circle I am very attentive to and watch if their words meet their actions.  Unfortunately this is a hard balance for me because by nature I just take to people and am very compassionate and loyal.  I find myself now not trusting as much and it takes a lot of energy not to put my all into someone only to find myself hurting in the end.  I have cut of ties with a lot of "friends" and/or people that bring negative energy and drama into my life.  Sometimes it gets lonely, but I find refuge in reading, writing, and remembering that I am better off "lonely" rather than surrounded by hate.  It turns out this weakness has been my greatest strength; and one that will come in handy in my future career.
