I do wonder if there is actually such a thing “a good judge of character”. And if there is, do you actually need to judge anyones character? I can and have in the past been an absolute dickhead circumstancially. I don’t think that makes me inherently a bad person or someone with a bad character, just at that moment in time, the situation had required me to be a certain way. I’d hate it if people judged me based on that one moment in time alone but then again, they probably have.
In general, I think humans jump to conclusions way to fast, one wrong look – oh, she must be a bitch. He didn’t smile back when I gave him his change – not the attitude. She’s pretty – obviously, bitch! I am not saying I am better than that, I have thought all these things at numerous occasions during the 30-some years I’ve walked this earth. I guess, I am taking this prompt as an opportunity to ponder and reflect on myself and how judgy I am.
Also what even is character? It’s not one social interaction, how long before you can call anything a character-trait? The way you are to me, who is likely (hopefully) a complete stranger to you, can and hopefully would be very different than to say a friend, family member or a partner. Does it all sum up to character and if so how can one person judge ones character because clearly they can never have all these rolls at the same time. If they do they might need to speak to a therapist about that.
