Perturbed by a recent observation regarding my neivity, I have come here in attempt to broaden my thoughts.
Currently my life is dominated by personal doubt and dysfunction. My therapist has ultimate faith in my ability to heal and conquer. I on the other hand, see an historical reinforcement of my limitations as a member of society.
At 17 my then boyfriend said of me that I was "naive". I didn't understand. Recently at professional training, a psychologist commented (also) that I was "naive". A well-meaning friend has observed that my "naivety is interconnected with fear, loathing and anger", especially in the light of the "conflict I display in my love of others and hatred of (myself)".
I'm not an academic but I do have innate intelligence. I've lived by my wits and have defied the odds, bringing up good citizens.
On my own now, I find I don't fit in socially, for the purpose of employment.
Could somebody 'out there' help me to understand the dilemma I'm in - the dysfunction caused by naivety with intelligence?
