Is being naive good or bad?

Answer 1

only good for those who make take advantage of you...

Answer 2

I think its usually bad...sometimes good...

I would say bad because people could walk all over you and take advantage of you.

It can be bad if the people around you are not trustworthy, because they will take advantage of you.

It can be good because a lack of experience (and the resulting naivete) allows a sense of hope that can soften the hardened hearts of those around you.

I'm very naive...I wish I knew.  I think it can be bad in a sense, but some people think it's sweet that there are still people who are not corrupted by society....

It can be to one's disadvantage to be naieve in a competitive society.
