What personality trait has gotten you in the most trouble?

ISFJ

follows the rules, polite, fears drawing attention to self, dislikes competition, somewhat easily frightened, easily offended, timid, dutiful, private, lower energy, finisher, organized, socially uncomfortable, modest, not confrontational, easily hurt, observer, prone to crying, not spontaneous, does not appreciate strangeness - intolerant to differences, apprehensive, clean, planner, prone to confusion, afraid of many things, responsible, guarded, avoidant, anxious, cautious, suspicious, more interested in relationships and family than intellectual pursuits, not adventurous, fears doing the wrong thing, dislikes change

These are my personality traits as an ISFJ. But years ago I was an ESFJ and I used to trust people easily. People LOVE to be friends with trusting and stupid persons. Now I am learning not to trust people as I used to do. It's somehow a good change in me, but still not easily trusting people sometimes puts me in to trouble as well.

I always question other people's motivation when they're doing something good or saying good things unnecessarily to me because I have been cheated, fooled and lied. If one wants me to trust him, he needs to show me that he truly deserves to be trusted.

I might be found "guilty" for being avoidant, anxious and suspicious, but do blame it to my experiences when I trusted people the most.
