Is stupidity and idiocracy curable?

Tweet

So a couple of days ago I made the STUPIDEST mistake ever. I don't want to say what it was because I am absolutely mortified. And while things may still work out, odds are not. And odds are sometime in teh future it is going to resurface and depending on when and where I KNOW it will cause alot of issues. The sad thing is, it was completely innocent. I don't feel 'morally wrong' or anything but I just didn't think things through. Which is something I severely lack. And if this ever comes back to me then I KNOW it won't be veiwed as innocent and will probably be the most mortifying day to come. Does stupidity have a cure? I just feel like a complete idiot! I think my issue is I am too trusting. Even time after time when I learn that honesty in this world is fading quickly, I still think that whatever I am interested in has to be conducted by people as honest as me. But who thinks like that anymore? I swear I open myself up to be taken advantage of over and over again and I dont even realize it until AFTER its done. Anyways now I am freaking out because this whole thing was a terrible idea and it is going to eat away at me. I am so scared it is going to surface and everyone I care about is going to see this 'other light of me' that doesnt exist! But they won't understand. How to I stop myself from being so stupid?
