Too Trusting?

I was just told that it's "super annoying" the way I always give people the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps I'm overcompensating for others. I frequently find myself defending people to one another. I HAVE gotten pretty freakin badly burned for being too trusting though. 🤔

Some of my exes might find this ironic and say that whatever I got for being too trusting was deserved. They'd be right, for the most part, but some instances were surely too much.
