Responding to Griffin Thayer's Question

Griffin asked "Is it better to be too trusting or not trusting enough?"

This question I feel is highly subjective, with both sides being able to be seen equally. Is it better to trust too much or not enough totally depends on the person.
Myself, I tend to not trust enough, because I have had people take advantage of my trust and end up hurting me (though it's completely inevitable).  I feel it is easier for any person not to trust enough than too much, unless they are completely naive to the world around us with the harm that it can cause to an ignorant person.

Question:  How does naivety play a part in trust?  Or does it not have a role at all?
