Do you believe in what everyone says?

I think that there are a lot of people out there that tell lies and I think that they also some times believe in their lies and come to think their lie is a truth, lol, if that makes sense. I will be honest I never believe in what people say about other people, unless I hear it off the person that they are on about. I would not say that I was a gullible person at all.

I used to be extremely Gullible, I would believe everything that anyone would say.. I trusted people too easily and would always give people the benefit of doubt.. I have changed quite a bit in the last few months.. I still try to see the good in people but trust is something that has to be earned. Its too easy to be cheated or used by people. Wish I could trust but that's long gone... Its a dog eat dog world... and I am tired of the one always there to bare the bite alone..

No but I be very suspicious, now that's for a situation, a happening, I keep my eyes opened. NOW if they are talking about people I don't cause people with morals and happy people don't say bad things about others, specially for example if A tell me something about B but I don't know B that well, I know it's coward what A is doing and that A is probably wrong, jealous or hateful. In these situations of gossip, 90% of the time I find out that B was an amazing person and never started anything. I learned since I don't know, 17 when I was B and it hurt to see people believing in lies, so I don't trust people's opinion on people

Hi leateagee! No, I'm not gullible. I don't believe much. Maybe it comes with age. You learn to sift through things to get at the truth. And it's easy for me to spot a dishonest person. Of course the internet makes this hard to do. But in face to face interaction it's not so hard to spot a fake. I have been fooled before, when I was younger. But that can be chalked up to experience and a lesson learned.

Hello Maybe I was Gullible before.:( I easily trust my friends but as I grow matured I've learned the lessons. I was cheated but never bullied. It was a painful mistakes that I learned from the past. Nowadays I don't easily give my trust to someone.:)

I don't think I'm gullible, but I easily trust people who are worth it. :) I find that I have a sharp sense of feeling for those who I can trust and for those I can't, I keep my distance for a while. I can never be too cautious when it comes to trust because it hurts when people cheat or get to bully you afterward because of something they know about you. It's great to hear you have matured in this regard and I hope your trust doesn't get broken by the people you choose to give it to. :)

I wouldnt say i am Gullible at all. I have a had time believing alot of people. One person i dont always believe in my boss he talks to the talk about so many other people and i dont believe him half the time on what he says and what he says about himself too. Now another person would be my Aunt she talks alot and talks alot about other peopled and its rude and cruel and most of the time i let it in one ear and out the other. I cant be Gullible in my life time because of everyone else.

I believe in what people say as long as it sounds credible enough. But I don't think it's gullibility on my part. I still analyze what was said, weighing the facts and stuff. If I got fooled or cheated, I guess it's just a case of an error in my judgment

I think that care should be taken in what people say and how they say it. Not every word should be taken to heart nor should it be discarded. For the most part i like to believe in people and what they say, Yet, i don't want' to be run over with a lie because i lived in a fantasy and not the real world.

I have kind of a problem with the description of gullible. There is a big difference between (too) trusting and simple or innocent for example. Also this has nothing to do with believing what others say easily. If it comes to that most people do (for exampole believing politicians if they vote) or commercials (to think it's better if you pay a lot) etc. No I don't believe everyone esp not if it comes to gossip, politics, religions etc

Hey thanks for the discussion. Well all i can say is that i no longer trust people i meet in my daily life for i have gone through many such phases where they have played very hard with my feelings and emotions. i have also started to talk to people only when i have work and nothing else. There are already so many people inmy life who love and care more than themselves so i hardly bother what other people have their say in my life. What say?

I've been played by my high school classmates before. They pretended to be some guy over text messages and I fell for it. Later on, they confessed that they just made up the guy and I brushed it off. Acted like it's fine, even though I feel like an idiot believing that the guy who texted me was real. It's not bad to believe in something someone tells you, as long as you put a doubt in to it.

It depends on the person whom iam listening. If the person is stranger, then i will check the words in all the way. But someone is too close to me such as my family person like my father, mother etc then i will believe.

Me and my best friend always share stories. Sometimes he'll tell me a fake story and I'll believe him. Then he'll proceed to call me gullible. Other than that, I think I'm right in the middle. I won't call people out if I think they're lying because I don't want to start a fight, but I'll keep a note on who thinks I'm gullible.

Hi Lea! I would believe everyone.. Even if a stranger is telling me his story or any incident I would believe that he is not lying with me. For this act of mine I have been deceived on some occasions. Someone asked for monetary help and trusting him I gave away the amount and later on that was not returned. I think trusting everyone and doubting everyone is not good. We should be in between and should make a rational assessment about a person before trusting him.

No matter how careful we are sometimes we do get taken in by some people.I too have come across different category of people , some really good and trustworthy and some not so, and have learnt something or the other from all of them and now try not to be taken in easily by anyone..all the best leateagee, enjoy your evening

For me, I'm not just believe on what people say. I need to investigate first and determine if the said news or gossip is really true or not? There is a bad implication if we easily believe in what people say without finding first the truth.

I don't easily believe with everyone, not unless with trusted friends. Why should I believe with people that I don't know so well- they might put me in trouble. Besides, there is always a way to find out the truth- and being careful is much better than regretting after.

I do not believe in what people say that easily. I would always analyze what they say, how they say it and the supporting evidence to their claims. This is important so as to prevent ourselves from being used, misguided or deceived. Critical thinking skill is what we need in order to be able to identify false information or claims. On the other hand, because I always think of everything so thoroughly, it makes me a good persuader to convince people of what I say. I would provide reasons and both good and bad about an issue and convince them why they should believe in what I believed in. I find many people around you would listen to what I say and actually changed their perception and behavior.

dont trust people easily. smile act calmly just listen to what he says. being calm let you process what you will do next. it hard to believe people, even those who talks slow and talk fast :)
