Inspired by another thread, I want to ask how you define naivety?

Although I see naivety to be confidence, a belief in the goodness of man. Influences from the planets Venus and Neptune, as both planets symbolize love, both human and spiritual.
Clearly disappointment occurs more easily when people are naive, but the ideal must be to accept human error and omissions and retain naivety and confidence.
Naivety, I think, is a fine human characteristic.
I realize that some equate naivety with stupidity, which I think is a big mistake. What do you think?

Being Naive doesn't necessarily mean stupid and being overly suspicious of others is arguably just as if not more stupid.

My dictionary defines 'naive' as

What is the diff between naivety and gullibility?

The only time when naivete is a bad trait is probably when the person attracts abusive people, but it's important not to blame yourself. There's a lot of insensitive creeps to do that for you if something like that happens.
