1. naivety

   Naivety is a characteristic of being naive, which means lacking experience, wisdom, or judgment. It often involves a sense of innocence and simplicity, with a natural disregard for or ignorance about the complexities or potential pitfalls of a situation. It can also imply trustfulness or gullibility, as someone who is naive may easily believe things without questioning or doubting them. Naivety might also refer to a lack of sophistication or worldliness.
