I am so easily fooled and gullible

[Ross]

As the title says this, I don’t know why I am like this. I have been in situations where my friends trick me into thinking otherwise and then they say it’s not true. Like for example, I was at a party and it was pretty normal and then I bumped into this guy and he said that he saw a 70 year old junkie walk into the party and get his cock out in front of everyone. Mind you this party was massive and loads of random people came in. Annoyingly I bought into it, until one of my other friends came and they guy said said the same thing to my other friend, but my friend just said that’s bullshit automatically and then we walked away realising that it was bullshit, but I was slow about it. Another example is when me and my friends were watching a video of girls flashing their privates as a joke, and one of my friends said that it was from our university girls hockey team, originally again I bought into that but then I saw a clip of a girl which I had seen on a porn site before and said that was fake, but if I didn’t see it, I would have believed him the whole way through. Last example, a friend of mine asked me through text if had passed my exams, and I had said yes, and then I asked him if he did and he said that he didn’t and that he was never going to come to university again, and then I said that’s bad, only to then say he was joking.  Again I bought into that fact that he left uni, even though he is quite smart. 

 

So, how can I be more wiser when understanding people’s words? Does that mean I am slightly retarded or autistic?

@Ross lol the same, i sometimes feel like im really retarded and too dumb. But this is just your understanding of social things witch doesn't make you wise or not, over time you will understand it more. You can be the dumbest person in social situations but be the wisest man on the earth.  When i questioned why this is happening in me i realized its just low self-asteem. Stop trying to be wise accept as you are and build your self asteem until when you appear dumb you dont care. I dont know if all this is true im having all this troubles too but i think it is.

C'mon. These are common jokes.

If I believe a tale of someone in a Party Situation and he is proven wrong, then I tell myself:
"Ok, it was wrong. So what?"
If someone said: "How the f*** can you believe that s***?" I reply:
"Well, the story was more fun than the boring s*** you told me. Doesn't matter it is wrong if it was a good tale"
Do you understand? I reframe it. Google that.

Bottom line: Take it easy and start to have fun too - and google NLP - refaming, framecontroll etc.

It takes a lifetime to develop a good bullshit detector.
