Prompt of the Day

Daily writing prompt
Are you a good judge of character?

Yes, I can judge character in a relatively good way. Of course that it does not prevent me from being mistaken sometimes, but my intuition works well. I think it also helps the fact that I am humble and I acknowledge I can make mistakes.

Another positive point is that I am aware of the toxic traits of people that I really do not want to tolerate. I detest gossip and having around me people who are often saying bad things about others is a huge red flag for me. If they criticize others to me, they can also criticize me to other people. I also tend not to like bossy people, who think they can tell others how to live their lives, etc.

Having no previous expectations of people before getting to know them helps our prejudices not being on the way of our judgment. We need to feel the energy of the person and, in those cases, the intuition must act freely and we should have a relaxed state of mind.

Observing our intuition is also very important. It is not rare people have an accurate insight, but dismiss it thinking it was a bullshit. We need to trust our gut instinct and, as with everything else, it is a skill that gets better with practice and maturity. Once we realize there is something wrong with another person, we should drift away momentarily and analyze what is going on until we can make a better judgment.

Of course that judging other people’s character can be something quite different depending on the situation. We do not always have a chance to reflect before interacting with others or the opportunity of walking away of anything harms us. However, protecting ourselves from negativity is a survival instrument, especially because we need to make room for the truly positive people approach us. Once we are in a good mental state, in peace with ourselves, the right people come right to us. And, accomplishing this with bad people around, is much more difficult.
