credulously
This adverb carries a strong negative connotation, suggesting a lack of critical judgment or a naive vulnerability to deception. It describes a state of openness that is seen as foolish or unwarranted, often contrasting with a skeptical or discerning approach to information.
Because it describes a manner of believing, it is frequently paired with verbs of listening, accepting, or reacting. It is rarely used in positive contexts; one does not typically act credulously when the information is obviously true, but rather when they are being misled or tricked.
