Is it ok to be naive? HOw can I be sharp?

Question

People always tell me I'm naive, and it makes me so angryy.

I think it's because my mom is. My sister isn't, but I am :(.

I heard people say that it's good to be naive and they'd want to be, but that's rarely and I don't agree. It's not fun.

What are sharp people like?

My friend is naive and some family, so I thought I could pick up on some things from them.

How can I be sharper? Being naive doesn't help in any situation.

Answer 1

Have you ever engaged in people watching? Street smarts usually come from awareness, or experience.

Just practice being more aware. Why is your sister NOT naive? Have you asked her? Could you learn something from her?

Personally, I've always been amazed at how little people know about the world around them. It's like they sleepwalk through life and never see anything.

Start watching people closely. Body language, interactions, everything and you'll become more astute over time.

Answer 2

What are sharp people like?  Well, they're very pointy.  You can be sharp by carving your head into a point.
