Daily Focused Q&A Time: How to Read People and Get Along

How to read people?
Don’t listen to what they say; observe what they do over the long term.
Look at stability—how much their attitude varies between different people,
how much their behavior changes over short periods,
and whether their emotions, stance, and values fluctuate at any time.
Consider interests—when interests are involved, see who they prioritize protecting first.
People’s character often shows when interests conflict.
Observe how they evaluate others behind their back.
Additionally, assess their sense of responsibility, capability, and accountability.
Two-faced people often speak ambiguously, make promises they don’t keep, and shift blame when problems arise.
How to get along with two-faced people?
The answer is: avoid interaction or stay away.
If you can’t stay away, then you must
limit emotional involvement and focus only on functionality.
Always leave a trace when interacting with them.
Reduce emotional feedback to them.
Establish clear boundaries with them regularly.
Finally,
this world is complex,
don’t expect everyone to be completely honest and straightforward.
