They say, “You may know someone’s face but not their heart.”
In the process of interacting with others, sometimes we can’t fully understand someone.
Because some people live with a mask from the beginning, making it hard for us to figure them out.
But in real life, if you truly want to see through someone, it’s not difficult because a person’s true character often hides in the details.
In life, to “see through” someone, do these three things with them, and you’ll have an idea.
Have a meal with them
Having a meal is a common thing in our daily life, but such a simple thing can help us understand a person better.
During a meal, a person’s behavior and speech can reflect their quality. A person with high quality can make others feel comfortable even during a meal.
Once at a company dinner, I sat with a colleague from another department. This colleague always placed his favorite dishes in front of himself without considering others.
Several times, he almost spilled food on others, making the people next to him angry, but he didn’t blame them.
Seeing no reprimand, this colleague went too far, and the other person had to leave early. A truly cultured person won’t make themselves or others feel embarrassed.
Those who only care about themselves are the most selfish.
Those who consider others, even at the dining table, earn respect.
Every time I go out to eat with friends, I always take the bill first not to show off but to ensure everyone receives basic respect.
Paying the bill voluntarily is an attitude and the most basic etiquette in dealing with people. Knowing how to handle oneself in public will help you make more friends.
Having a meal with someone can show their cultivation and quality.
Complete a task together
It is said, “Appreciating someone starts with looks, respects talent, aligns with character, lasts with kindness, and ends with integrity.”
A person with true cultivation will always consider others’ feelings.
Completing a task together can test the other person’s interpersonal skills and reveal their integrity.
During a company assessment, I was in the same group as a colleague, and we had to design a creative competition file within a week.
To complete the task, we worked overtime every day.
Since I joined the company later and was relatively new, I felt he was holding me back.
However, he helped me every day after we were grouped together.
Even though we only worked together for a week, his assistance was unforgettable.
Everyone’s time is limited, and each person has different tasks. Those willing to stop and help you are the most selfless.
Go on a trip together
In daily life, traveling is a way to relax and unwind.
Besides solo travel, traveling with like-minded friends is also enjoyable.
Traveling is a way to understand others.
During a trip, everyone will have different ideas.
But since everyone is together, they should learn to take care of each other and understand each other.
During a trip, we encounter various problems, but those with a broad perspective can handle them properly.
Traveling is relaxing, and a person’s actions during the trip reflect their character.
I once joined a travel group of people from the same place who became friends due to their love for travel.
Every year, we organize trips together.
We chose a team leader from among us.
Before each trip, she would remind us in the group chat to bring our essentials.
She always remembered everyone’s different tastes when ordering food.
In front of everyone, she always put herself last and others first, making it comfortable to be around her.
A person’s true upbringing lies in the details. In real life, seemingly insignificant things can reveal a person’s true self.
We don’t need to rack our brains to understand someone because we can see a person’s true self from their actions and words.
Character and upbringing cannot be faked. Someone who cares for others’ feelings is kind.
Interacting with cultured people is a high form of self-care. In real life, we meet many people, some become our friends, while others just pass by.
We can’t decide whom we meet, but we can choose whom we interact with. By following these three points, we can better understand a person.
