The first impression of a person is often deceiving. You think you have met a decent and reliable comrade. And he turns out to be a petty bastard hiding under the personal of a decent person. Learning to recognize good people from bad people is very useful in life. There are a few things you need to pay attention to if you want to succeed at this.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide what a good person means to you. Some people like the generous, others like the thrifty. Some are delighted with charismatic slobs, others like restrained pedants. You need to understand who you want to see in your environment.
Step 2
Find a way to tell your good people from the bad ones. Just write a list of the most common behaviors or traits of those you like. Memorize it and always use it when you meet, in order to analyze, even from the first impression, whether this is your person.
Step 3
Trust your intuition. Especially it is worth trusting the inner voice when it is in conflict with the mind. Try to understand what he is telling you. If you feel a subconscious distrust of a person, check your concerns. Just do it carefully, tactfully and unobtrusively.
Step 4
Use the recommendations of trusted people. Learn about the person, who he is, what he prefers, how he behaves in critical situations. Wherever possible, ask for the opinion of already established friends or colleagues. Recommendations seriously reduce the risk of "running into" an unscrupulous person.
Step 5
Get rid of mistrust and suspicion. People who see enemies and foes all around attract villains like a magnet. This happens because everyone around intuitively understands with whom you can behave like a bastard, and with whom you cannot. With those who initially do not trust, and whose trust seems impossible to win, people do not stand on ceremony. And with the rest they behave more restrained and humane.
Step 6
Use different sources of information. In the age of the Internet, you can find a lot of information about almost every person. Diaries, blogs, comments on the network can tell you, if not all, then a lot about a potential friend, lover or colleague.
