A gullible person takes any information at face value and is always ready to tell about himself to strangers. Sometimes you have to regret your naivety, and sometimes you pay for "blind" trust. To avoid unpleasant situations in the future, you should say goodbye to naivety and learn to communicate effectively.
Instructions
Step 1
Don't take everything at face value. A gullible person is inclined to take the interlocutor literally, while they can simply joke with him or, conversely, blatantly lie. When a primitive deception or ridiculous joke goes off with a bang, the wave of new experiments can grow and have an unfavorable outcome. If the subject of the conversation is not clear to you or you have doubts, take an interest in the details, check the information and do not exclude the possibility of "dry English humor".
Step 2
Resist dubious authority and pressure. Do not always rely on the opinion of specialists, especially be careful with experts from the service sector. Very often gullible people become victims of skillful manipulations of sellers who impose the most expensive or unnecessary products. At the same time, the buyer is “showered” with folk sayings from the series “avaricious pays twice” and “you cannot live without it” and provide other psychological techniques. Learn to rely on your own opinion and experience, and rarely use other people's advice.
Step 3
Stop sharing the details of your life. A distinctive feature of a gullible person is the need to tell or explain any little thing about himself, even if he is not asked about it. It looks like a child's excuse to his parents for his wrongdoing or a clumsy attempt to emphasize his dignity. Feel yourself self-sufficient without someone else's recognition and approval. They tell the secrets of their personal life only in an exclusive interview or in a psychologist's office. Do not be frank with strangers. For some, information about you will simply not be of interest, but for scammers it can be a bonanza.
Step 4
Be attentive to detail. It is extremely naive to look at the world through rose-colored glasses and think that all people are brothers. Of course, you should not rush to extremes and suspect deceit and evil behind the guise of everyone, nevertheless, attention and caution in communication will not interfere. Do not rely solely on the first impression of a person when meeting. Study your interlocutor carefully, ask questions and do not trust the first person you meet simply because "he seemed decent." Each person acts out of their own interests, so you should be wary when you are offered mountains of gold and understand that most likely these are scammers. In each situation, pay attention to the little things, analyze what could be the benefit for the interlocutor and how best to act for yourself.
