How can I become less guillible?

First, gain some knowledge in how everyday things work. Bank accounts, credit cards, credit scores, applying for a mortgage, signing a lease, how long it takes to finish a master's degree, a doctoral degree, etc.

When you know how things work, it's harder to get tricked.

Second, learn the difference between possibility and probability. Anything is possible, but not everything is probable. Is it possible he forgot his wallet? Yes. Is it probable? No. Is it possible he's a partner in a law firm at 23? I guess if he is some child prodigy. Is it probable that he's lying? Yes, because a JD takes 3 years and making partner takes on average 7 years.

I’d say listen to your body, and your intuition (the little voice/feeling in our heads) that gives you an uncomfortable feeling/indication, that something isn’t right.

I’d usually give the benefit of doubt, every time I was uncomfortable. Could have saved myself from many situations of being in a position of being taken advantage of- we usually notice and ignore things that are telling us that we're being taken advantage of (I feel like we're conditioned to ignore ourselves like this)

I used to be as gullible as they come. Little me was too pure for this world. I've learned, but haven't lost my kindness. It just takes a bit of discretion and selective compassion.

I could probably write essays on how I suss out bullshit, but my best tip is probably just to ask yourself why someone would do something, or what they have to gain from it.

Once I could identify situations where someone was asking me to do something not (just) because it benefitted me but because it also (likely more) benefitted them I could identify people trying to lead me down the wrong path. It's not always about the other person not being in need of or deserving of what they're asking for but whether you have the means (emotion, time, financial) to provide it.

You could research logical fallacies, epistemology, and common manipulation/deception methods. Learn tricks lots of people have fallen for, people often fall for, and that people are falling for right now. Accept that in order to truly know or understand anything you need to find the answer yourself and not just form a belief based on what you are told. Practice skepticism. Don't make quick decisions based on emotion.

If you are naturally gullible, you could protect yourself by viewing people you don't know well through a lens of skepticism by default. In other words, treat everyone with distrust until they prove to you, over time (maybe one year at least), that they are trustworthy.

The man who "wants to get to know you" or "wants your professional perspective" on something but doesn't offer to pay you? Approach him with skepticism. 90% of the time, he has bad motives.

The woman who really wants to be your friend out of the blue? Approach her with skepticism. You don't know if she's emotionally unstable or trying to use you for something you don't know about.

The coworker or manager who seems really nice? Approach them with skepticism. You don't know if they're planning to weaponize their niceness or if you're a pawn in a corporate game you don't know about.

Everyone is untrustworthy until proven otherwise.

The only way is to either go through it, OR listen to us on FDS and listen to podcasts like Princella Clark and Cynthia G. Women who are teaching us naive women the nature of males. We were all raised to be gullible and naive and trusting so that men can use us. That's why FDS is so important. And the only place for women to support each other. But Princella Clark is a other community

1. Always fact check

2. When a man tried to pass an opinion as a fact, red flag 🚩

3. if something doesn’t make sense to you

(You find it difficult to read in between the liens )keep asking for clarification until he either gets mad because he can’t hide the

lies or you get an honest answer

4. And remember every accusation is a scrote just projecting

Stay away from everyone who disregards your nos or its equivalents (By disregard i mean negotiating you out of your standards, rejecting your nos outright, throwing a fit, etc).

Watch out for people's tones, body languages, and how it corresponds with your reality. always listen for your gut instincts--they are often more accurate than your logical assertions, and they have your best interests in mind.

Cut people off at the first sign of disrespect. you can give a headsup first, but make sure not to hang around people who make you feel uneasy, scared. if people behave differently in different situations and with different people--thats a sign they are not sincere.

Being nice is not a personality trait as much as it is a strategy--people can drop their mask and reveal who they are at any moment. however, they usually don't remove all at once, but drop little hints along the way. take them into account.

stay safe.

Trust! Your! Instincts! Ask yourself about situations you see yourself being in so you can prepare, if they occur. Ask yourself questions all throughout the date(s). Have plans for directly afterwards so you can decompress and really evaluate the person you just met. Plan decompression time in your life so you can give yourself a chance to assess. You are completely capable of assessing this brave new world, you just need the time and space to do it in. I also highly recommend getting in touch with your spiritural side (Christianity, Islam etc). This will give you another strength to rely on.
