Naive = Someone that believes pretty much anything they're told without even thinking whether it's true.
Example:
You stopped eating bananas because you overheard someone say they are filled with tracking devices from the goverment? Why are you so naive?

Sort of, but naive implies that in believing it it makes you happier than the truth would. Hard to explain but yeah hope that makes sense.Jake wrote:Okay thnaks, so basically it means being gullibleNr wrote:Naive = Someone that believes pretty much anything they're told without even thinking whether it's true.

Yeah, they're similar but do have a distinct difference. Gullible means you believe anything and everything, but naif/naive denotes a simplicity that comes with lack of experience, and, as a result of this, you're more inclined to believe only the surface of things. Children are often used as an example.Jon wrote:Sort of, but naive implies that in believing it it makes you happier than the truth would.

Yup, there you go.
Gullible is when you're persuaded easily while naive is when the person is ignorant believing anything he/she hears.

Did you know that if you look up the word "gullible" in the dictionary then there's a picture of an orange. The only picture that appears in the whole of the Oxford English Dictionary.Sanne wrote:Gullible, ahh ill add that to my English vocabulary thanks Jonathan.

It would help if it was in the dictionary... It's the only word not in the dictionary.

Here is an amazing example for Naive: A Rs noob is encountered with a level 200 saying "Doubling $." The noob gives him 10K and is legitimately doubled. The noob then is controlled by the level 200, when he asks him if he would like his bank doubled (100K). The noob naively gives him his bank and is scammed. 
Just an example

That's being gullible because the poor noob is easily persuaded.
