Thanks for sharing this. When I was young I was naïve as well. I don't know if this has anything to do with Asperger's Syndrome (which I don't have) or if it's just a result of lack of "worldly experience" which it what I think it was in my case. It took me many years... decades really... to reach the point where I don't trust anyone. And, even now, I sometimes will catch myself starting to give someone who doesn't deserve it the benefit of the doubt. Old habits die hard...
