Do you influence you more than others do? No exceptions? So you're not easy to fool, to manipulate nor are you gullible?

That depends on upon the definition of "you"...;-D...

I'm totally non-gullible.  I have had the innocence beat, bashed and burned out of me ages ago.   I survived 8 years of Catholic grade school, my mother, my father and my relatives.  

Nothing can hurt me ever again except ME and my choices.

Sounds like you have been thru the mill, are you better from it? what did it teach you that the brats of today could learn ?
