"We both know you're not a complete idiot, you're just on the dangerous side of naive."
Why do I keep confiding in people? Why do I expect them to understand my innermost thoughts and emotions, my existential quandaries? It seems I am not attuned to the way the world works and I keep making the same mistakes over and again. I never do learn and I wind up trusting all the wrong people, disclosing all the wrong things, and people keep scoffing at me.
Einstein said: "Insane people do the same things over and over and expect different results."
