I am an honest person, so I would like to think that other people are as honest as me. Am I a fool?

I am always skeptical of people online. when people are not talking to your face makes it easier for them to lie to you.

A whole lot of people are not honest online. But it is easy not to be honest online, you dont speak with eachother and you dont see the other person so a lie is easily made.

no you're not a fool. just trusting..it would be nice to believe that everyone is honest...but in this world,,,thats not just possible..and if you go around believing everyone is honest ..sorry to say you will be in for a lot of heartaches...emotionally,monetarily,and may even pay for it with your life. just use your instinct and a little logic and you will be ok

If you truly believe this, and not to be mean, then yes you are. I would guess that only 20 or 30% of people online are honest. It's a shame that the internet, although meant for good use, has become a haven for criminals and scumbags all over the world. People can tell you anything they want on here, because you really have very little ways to disprove what they say. It's easy to think that other people are honest, but we need to remind ourselves that this in not true in any way shape or form.
