As a blue collar worker, I admit I am easily manipulated. Most of the time I believe people to be good. This is whare I get screwed. Many people are not good people. I try to avoid these kinds of people. They will show you who they are, just pay attention. Still, I do get taken more often than not. Some are just so good at lying.
You and me both, brother. I am an honest man (to a fault in social situations...it comes along with the aspergers) and am always genuine with others. I am also goofy and sarcastic, and can be a massive dick to my friends for fun. Apparently that last part attracts actual assholes to try and hang around me sometimes, but I have gotten pretty good at spotting them from a mile away.
EDIT: When I say be a massive dick, I mean shit talking and banter. I'll never do anything to actually cross or harm a friend in any way, shape, or form...I'm one of the most loyal people you'll ever meet if you deserve for me to be.
