I get it, but you have to see it from the simplest perception possible. Sure, let the car sales man or IRS guy surprise me. But I don't go into ANYTHING at all assuming or expecting otherwise.
It's a bit different from "brace youreself, he's gonna hit, and he's gonna hit me hard!!"
It's more like "I know this douche is gonna try and swindle me and I know what to do, I'm just glad I did my homework."
It's OK to have a positive outlook on life, but if you go around expecting the best of all situations especially many that you could have helped and they do wind up bad, then you fucked!! In the end you only have yourself to blame. That's why we wait for a chance for someone to prove their intentions first.
It's not at all closed minded if you ask me.
