Getting to know people around us

Life can be so much happier and more stable when we know people around us very well. We know what their reactions might be to certain situations, the reasons why they do what they do and knowing the things that they enjoy. We can say that we know someone if we know their habits, that is, how they react in certain situations and what their usual actions are (see Habits). It means that we need to be around them for some time so we can observe what they do.

It might sound like a big task, but I believe that there’s an easier way how to learn a lot about someone without spending too much of our time on it. We all have limited time and energy and we need to spend in wisely (see Limited time and energy).

I think that the easiest way to know someone is to listen to what they have to say when it is an important topic for their happiness. We need to know what makes them sad, what makes them happy and what they want from life. People don’t have to necessarily say the truth about themselves but they usually don’t lie about what they want to be like or what they don’t like in other people. This is an indication what this person might want to become.
