Seniors that feel this way should be extremely cautious, as it puts you at a risk for exploitation and abuse. In a recent study that has been done, it suggests that many older people have difficulty recognizing untrustworthy faces. Apparently there is a drop in activity as you age, in the area in the brain that could play a role of assessing trust and risk. The area is the anterior insula. This area deals with gut feelings that informs and assists in some decision making . Our risk assessment area may dissipate somewhat with age. The vibes that we get (positive or negative) about folks that we meet
may not be as accurate as we age.
So , don't fret about this -just take steps to be extra cautious about your judgement without carrying it to an extreme.
Have a wonderful weekend and don't forget to live each day- Mindfully and Healthy and Happy!
