b"Chapter 2 Ultimately, just as you instinctively act in certain ways when lying, you are also able to instinctively pick up on signs in others. Listen to your intuition and you can rarely go wrong.9.Listentoyourinstincts:evenifyoutendtobenaive,gullible,or innocent,there'sprobablyoftenafeelingdeepinsidethattellsyou something's wrong. Rather than just putting it aside, it's important for you to check out that feeling and think about where it is coming from. Don't be afraid to let your instincts guide you from time to time. It might not always be right, but it's there for a reason.10.Be open to meeting new people: your naivety may be due to the fact that you have led a rather sheltered life, surrounded by many people who think exactly the same way as you.If this is your case, you should be open to making friends with people from different backgrounds or cultures.If you don't live in a very diverse community, it may be more difficult, but the internet can be a great way to mingle with people, different from you.And if you live in a multicultural place with people from all sorts of socio-economic backgrounds and with different beliefs, then take advantage of that and be open to making friends with those who don't look like you, don't speak or don't think like you.11.Go ahead and find out about life: naivety is often a trait of people who lacklifeexperience.Ifyoudon'texperiencetheworldfirsthand,it's inevitable that you'll be a little gullible or innocent.Normally people become less naive with age, but you can help yourself by simply saying, yes to life. Try new things, volunteer to help those less fortunate than you, and learn about new cultures.Learn about the history and realities and injustices of the society you live in, look at things from the perspective of others, and embrace all things in life whether good or bad, so that you can have a perspective on life.78Germain Decelles"
