Bursting my bubble

All my life I've lived in a tiny bubble. I'm often completely oblivious to what it's going on around me. I'm uneducated about the world, about people and how they act. I'm completely naive, often way too trusting and gullible.

Over the last 2 years I've finally seen this and realise that I need to be more sceptical, ask more questions, observe better, trust less and doubt more.

I can appreciate how you are feeling but beware of going too far in the opposite direction. Yes you can be hurt when you are gullible but you can be hurt in a different way by being too cynical. The vast majority of people are well intentioned, kind and trying to do the right thing, don't let the rotten apples blind you to the rest. My advice would be to ask questions and observe better, certainly but to trust more carefully rather than less.

While all that you say is true I’m sure, the world is becoming increasingly dark. I find myself turning off the news and disconnecting from the world outside my friends. Good luck

Good advice to give to yourself... Trust is earned, not given ;)
