When I was younger I had a strange habit of doing the dumbest things, like trusting people implicitly and assuming that because I trusted them they wouldn't let me down. Then after being badly let down a couple of times I became more worldy wise. But I think old habits die hard, because I made the mistake of trusting someone again without really understanding what kind of a person he was and I paid the price for it. There are some people who lie blatantly to get what they want and some stupid people like me, who believe in the innate goodness of human beings and get fooled. I can't tell you how stupid I feel now for taking everything that was told to me at face value. I really hadn't met someone so diabolical or cunning in the past and never thought anyone could fake so many emotions without meaning a thing.I now realise that people will go to any lengths to get what they want. I thank my stars that I've been lucky to get out of this whole thing before it got any worse.
Initially I was feeling very depressed and upset at being made a fool of and then I spent some time with some of my close friends and had a good laugh. And once your able to see the humour in your stupidity then it's easier to move on and forgive yourself for being so gullible. Afterall everyone is entitled to a few mistakes and having the ability to pick yourself up and move on is what differentiates a mature person from a fool !
