How to recognize true character: The two signs that reveal everything
In the end, these observations work best as a mirror of self-reflection. How do we relate to individuals who are unable to do anything for us? How do we react to extreme frustration, speak of those friends who are not around, or respond to situations when we are in charge?
Character is formed by tiny habits repeated on a daily basis. Carl Jung dedicated his career researching the difference between what we show others and who we really are. While words can easily lie, consistent everyday behavior rarely does. To truly understand someone, watch how they handle a bad day, how they treat the people they could easily ignore, and the choices they make when nobody is rewarding them.
