That's good and I used to be very naive myself but I learned to be more realistic and seeing things for what they are. I like seeing things for what they are without being overly paranoid. The benefit of seeing things for what they are allows you to be more assertive and people know that they can't get away with walking over you. I agree I prefer to see things for what they are than being overly naive.
