Is it normal to repent later after trusting everybody?

It's my nature to trust every friend and relative. Very often I discover being cheated, but I continue to carry on. Later I have to repent. Is it normal, and what should I do to change myself?

    Trust less. Learn to read people's body language(there are books on this).

    Trust is not granted but must be earned. This is a lesson I have learned through life. It used to be a persons word and a handshake was all that was required. Those days are gone.

    When would you need to repent? It's not a sin to gullible.

      Gullibility is a sin against the virtue of reason (sort of). Not everyone is an analytical wizard but healthy skepticism, fact checking, and reasonable questions of authority are the responsibility of everyone in a free society. I empathize with the OP. She/he recognizes that blissful trust enables evil malfeasance.

        I hate it when people get offended if you question what they say.

          Yes, it's the mark of a poorly developed identity.

    What do you mean by repenting? As in a Catholic thing? I'm not sure you did anything that needs repenting. To thine own self be true. You shouldn't worry about anyone other than yourself. Figure you out and then concern yourself with the others.
