I’m pretty sure you all know the answer to this question which is a strong no. No one truly knows anyone regardless of how much time they spend together. You cannot know who someone is based on one interaction, one argument, one experience or one situation.
In today’s post, I wanted to share with you some ways to get to know someone better. I don’t necessarily think you need to keep in mind these things with the intention of spotting someone’s red flags or finding their flaws or weaknesses in order to decide whether or not you want to build a relationship/friendship with this person but more so to figure out if you are really compatible with one another and if you would like to be in each other’s lives.
Je suis sûr que vous connaissez tous la réponse à cette question : un non catégorique. Personne ne connaît vraiment quelqu’un, peu importe le temps passé ensemble. On ne peut pas savoir qui est quelqu’un sur la base d’une seule interaction, d’une seule dispute, d’une seule expérience ou d’une seule situation.
Dans l’article d’aujourd’hui, je voulais partager avec vous quelques moyens de mieux connaître quelqu’un. Je ne pense pas qu’il faille garder ces éléments à l’esprit pour repérer les signaux d’alarme ou les défauts ou faiblesses d’une personne afin de décider si vous souhaitez ou non construire une relation/amitié avec elle, mais plutôt pour déterminer si vous êtes réellement compatibles et si vous souhaitez faire partie de la vie de l’autre.

LISTEN WHEN THEY SPEAK
The best way to get to know someone better is to listen when they are speaking. What types of words are they using to refer someone whom they dislike? What are they really passionate about? What makes them excited? How do they interact with you? What feeling do you get after engaging with them?
Obviously, you can check if they are lying or exaggerating certain things or if there are any inconsistencies with the things they are saying but in my personal opinion, there is always a bit of truth even in things people joke about.

TIME IS THE ULTIMATE TEST
I’m pretty sure you might have figured this one out but time will eventually tell you whether or not you really know someone or at least a significant part of them. You can trust words but you have to rely on actions when it comes to sustaining a relationship with another person. Their actions might contradict their words and that’s something only time will answer.

BE PRACTICAL
I personally think the only person you truly know is yourself. Obviously, you might know someone better than another person but when you really think about it – everyone knows a part of someone that other people might not be aware of. It’s also important to note that people change constantly, we are not stagnant.
Even if our circumstances don’t change and we retain the same opinions, thoughts, values & principles – we still change to a small degree no matter how minuscule that is. You can’t expect someone to be the same person they were yesterday which is not only unrealistic but impractical as well.
