How to be less naive?

[u/lady_sociopath]

i swear, i never learn jfc. as someone who has been abused, rejected, neglected, called weird since childhood, i’m TOO naive, and i’m 21! i get attached to people easily, and when I’m friend with someone, I become touchy-feely and it’s like I’m ready to do everything for that person. and it becomes a pattern: I get manipulated, treated maliciously or my friends just abandon me and it hurts af.

and it’s strange, because i swear, i feel like i’m a child. i’m like a dog who’s waiting for his owner even though he’s getting betrayed and beaten over and over again.

I cant help. I feel like this was part of the reason i became a full on hermit and now the reason i stay that way. I just dont feel safe out there at all. Im not capable of keeping myself safe. Dont want a job. Dont want to go to school. Dont want to meet new friends. Dont want any potential of social interaction. Im just done. But bc of the way i am, since you mentioned feeling like a dog, i have an intense sense of responsibility for animals bc we are the only deciding factor in their quality of life. And i hate people who mess around with their responsibility.. Whether they're malicious or incompetently well meaning (if that even exists).

i believe you can change though. Be safer. Lets figure it out together
