I was called as such and I was also called stupid. LOL I cant blame him for telling me those not so nice words. He thinks im too trusting and too stupid for feeling ok after ive been done not so good by a doctor. Well, it was just a few physical advances like holding my hand, which I succeesfully pushed away and after I was asked to massage the back of that docotor. My friend thinks that I should hate the person for doing such, well, its no big deal to me. That I should no longer pursue on getting the receipt, well, i know he got his point but I know im always in control of things, I am responsible and im not that stupid. And I am not too trusting. Have a nice day and happy mylotting!!!

I am not very trusting towards man because man will fail us every time..The word says to love man, and trust G-d.. I think when it comes to man, you should use the discernment G-d gave you to keep you safe..(Some call it intuition, I call it G-d warning me)

Oh, and I don't think you are stupid..Stupid would be to go back there without a friend with you so this doctor can try to take advantage again..

It's really hard to find a middle ground between too paranoid and too naive. Just try to keep your eyes open but don't worry too much. You'll probably be just fine as long as you use your judgment and your gut feeling about things.

I did not answer if you are too trusting. Maybe not too trusting, but too forgiving, and unwilling to cause trouble. He needs to be stopped, so you should cause him some trouble by reporting him.

oh yes... i am... and i had been called a naive person as well because i am so trusting... in the past, i am easily cheat by other people and my friend due my naiveness... but now, i try to change and become smarter day by day... i won't let other people call me stupid or make use of me anymore... i think it all depends on our attitudes again... take care and have a nice day...

I have been told that many times, yes I may look to be a bit too trusting but I know I have control of things in my way you probably do too...I used to get called stupid for helping a friend of min who is in a little finanacial trouble, they said he was using me and I argued with them that I trusted him and as far as I was concerned thats what friends do..well when his mother passed away if had a small inheritance and he immediately got a bank cheque for me for I what i thought was more than he owed me..I think you have an instinct to some things...

Hate is such a strong emotion and once it consumes your life then your life is so filled with an ugliness you won't like about yourself so not feeling hate is a good thing for you . Even if you were too trusting it just shows what a kind and considerate person you are as you are looking for the good in everyone . I know this myself because I myself have been too trusting of others in the past . The problem with being to trusting is that you are much easier to be taken advantage of and getting hurt . This I found out as well !! If it really is no big of a deal to you though and you are happy with the results then don't let anyone tell you that you are wrong . You feel in control and that is what matters . And you are definitely not stupid , I really hate when someone calls someone else stupid as none of us are stupid . If being kind and caring is what being stupid is then there are a lot of stupid but much kinder people in the world then not !!

nah, I'm not too trusting... and I do agree that being too trusting = being stupid.. it's really not so wise to trust too much outside sources or rumors.. you just have to find the answer yourself by getting some help... at least that's what I think. Well yea... happy mylotting and you have nice day too :)

Why don't you take your friend, or any friend with you when you go again? That will give you a witness about the receipt. I feel like you need to report this doctor to a medical arts board, or whatever licensing body there is in the Philippines. What if he did that to someone else? You may be able to take care of the situation, but the next pretty young girl might not.

I wont there again, I would ask my sister or mother to get it for me. Im trying to give him a call to finalize things if theres a receipt he can give coz if he cannot produce one I wont bother asking from hiim ever again. The problem is that he wont answer my calls.

If someone made advances towards me, I'd knock him out cold, and then I'd report him to the cops. I am not a trusting soul at all. A lot of people say that I am not trusting enough, but I argue back that I am NEVER EVER taken advantage of. Those who have accused me have often been taken advantage of themselves, that it'll never happen to me. I'll make sure of it.

nobody is perfect, that is the most important thing you have to realize nobody is always in control of everything all the time nobody is always smart and better than anybody else all the time neither you or your friend is right in this case you are only friends, you don't exactly go through the same things in life and you don't value the same things in life either responsibility has nothing to do with being gullible or stupid, they are entirely different measurement from each other if you disagree about what he said, why did you say you can't blame him for saying those to you?

I would not say that you could be too trusting, rather not experienced about some people or things. We learn to trust by experience. If you have not experienced things you may either trust too much or not enough. Experience is the teacher. Me, I am not very trusting by nature. I have to see proof.

I dont know if too trusting is the word for that surely there is no trusting in their. Anyways, maybe you are just to nice to other people to complain or to even think that they are somewhat violating you. There is a truth on whoever say that to you. SO next time maybe you should be very careful.

I'm a kind girl, but opsitely, i never trust others in my mind. I know i'm wrong, not all people are bad men, there are some good man and also some bad men beside me, that need my heart and my eays to distinguish.

In my own side I am afraid to trust. I have an experience before with my bestfriend and my boyfriend. It was so sad really i mean that in the end its not good to trust so much. I had an Australian boyfriend before. It was happen that when he come to the Philippines I introduce him to my bestfriend of course that will you do if you are in my side. Time comes i just know that there communicating on chat secretly. They had putting up business without me knowing it. In short i was fool by them. I know it when one of my close teacher when i was in college ask me why we broke up to my Australian. Is it because of my friend? When she ask me that question i was amazed and i didnt know what will be my answer because that time all i know is we are still in a relationship. What i did is i just go on with the flow and told her. That is life. We are not mean for each other. I go away and think is this really true? I went to my bestfriend immediately and ask her everything about it. She said it just that she fall in love with my boyfriend. I just cried and told to her why? Why to my boyfriend.? I cant stand up their and face her that moment to i go away. Its seems that the world was so bad to me. It has been happening twice. I was hurt twice the same situation. That was really weird and sad. I did learn that dont trust too much. You dont know someone will betray you on that. Be careful! Happy posting!
