Your Question:
Can I still trust my own instincts after being scammed?
Answer:
I understand why you might think that being scammed would make you doubt your own instincts, but I think that's a false conclusion. Just because you were scammed once doesn't mean you're no longer trustworthy. I think of my own experience. I've been pastor at our local church for many years, and I've had to make many tough decisions. But I've always tried to trust my instincts and do what I think is right. And you know what? I've been right most of the time. That doesn't mean I'm never wrong, but it does mean that I should trust my instincts. The question is not whether I'm always right, but whether I can trust my own judgment. And I think the answer is yes. If I had trusted my instincts in the situation with the scam, I would have avoided the whole thing. But that's not the case. I trusted someone else's judgment, and that's what led to the problem. So, I think it's unfair to say that being scammed means I'm no longer trustworthy. I think this is also a matter of perspective. If I had been scammed by someone I trusted, I might feel differently. But in this case, I was scammed by someone I didn't know, and I didn't have any reason to trust them. So, I think it's unfair to generalize from this one experience and say that I'm no longer trustworthy. I think I can still trust my own instincts, and I'm going to continue to do so.
