Are you a gullible person? so people make funny of you?

I've many times been the person people take advantage of because of my altrustic approach always being helpful. However I am trying to learn from experience to help honest and sincere people.

Hi Kwylima, Yes, I guess I'd be considered one of those "gullible" people. I don't think it's gullible so much as it's just being kind and willing to help and trust a person. I really have little respect for those that take advantage of those that are kind. Those that are making fun of you are just plain mean. I've learned over time to ignore those kinds of people and God forbid they need my help in the future. I won't let them stop me from trying to help others in need but I won't bite twice with the same person. Not everyone is like what you describe. There are people out there that will appreciate your kind heart. If a person makes fun of you for being kind then just write them off your list and the next time they ask for help say no.

hi oh yes I used to be but after I grew up a bite and worked as a nurses aid in a public hospital I learned when someone was just pulling 'my leg and when someone was really in need of my help. Just remember that the person they hurt the most with t hose stupid making fun things are themselves as soon nobody will trust them with any thing, they are to be pitied which is worse than being a bit gullible. to want to be of use is a kind thoughtful thing and to be duped is unkind and the person doing this is really a bit moronic too.no you are right, you are not afraid but you are just prudent. like fool me once shame on y ou, fool me twice shame on me. and you will not be fooled twice, you arr prudent so nobody will make a fool of you again. good for you.

Well, it's not right to make fun of people at all. Even if the person isn't doing anything, it's still not good to diss him/her. Although, you don't have to generalize. There will be people who will need your help and you have to help that person because you're destined to.

I like this discussion because this happens to everyone at some point. I've always felt that if a person is gullible, it doesn't necessarily mean they are stupid. Think of it this way - if someone really is in need of help, and no one believe they do except you, then they are the ones who are stupid. Sometimes you have to assume that people are telling the truth, because you wouldn't want them to suffer. The people who have never experienced surprises might not believe something that sounds extraordinary. But if you have been through something crazy before, you will believe that something strange could happen again. So if someone tries to come up with a scary/weird story as a joke, they are stupid because they don't realize that it could really happen.

I think it is not your fault and you should not say that your gullible. The more appropriate term I could think of is lacking experience in deception. Gullible people are those that are just plain innocent, having no regrets even after being fooled upon and would believe to their utmost core anything that is said to them. However in your case, you understand that it is a form of deception, you think about it, and act by being more cautious next time. A lot of people now a days improve their deception art just to make money or fool other people for entertainment. It is not our fault if these new art that they make of is new to us. It is only natural that we become curious at first and try it than learn from the experience gained. You may call me gullible person in denial. But I think its a much better title to be a person learning life through experience.
