if they ask me for money I give them benefit of the doubt about 80% of the time. if it is some strange man trying to hit on my friends it is 0% of the time

Almost always. I think im too naïve

always, that's a bad habit apparently.

I'll allow to be fooled once.

All the time now. Frustration is exhausting, so I've lowered my bar withdrawing my common courtesy to people who have habits of dickory.

My natural instinct is to assume that any person I come across is honest and decent (just like me) because most people are. There are exceptions of course, but usually, if you treat people with openness and respect, you’ll get the same back.

Trust no one unless theres proof

I am too trustful and the benefit of doubt is my constant companion.

Idrc what anyone does too much especially if they're strangers to me

I think most of the time? I can't think of a rule, there are just a thousand red flags that can indicate that a person is probably or definitely lying or has bad intentions or whatever else one could doubt someone about. If I'm not convinced for some reason that they're less than noble, then I give them the benefit of the doubt. I tend to interpret things in the most positive possible way.

No I'm not writing you a check for that cash you 'found' geez that's the oldest scam in the book

Too often tbh
