How well we understand one another can have a wide-reaching impact on our lives. From partner choice to the friends we surround ourselves with.

If like me, you’ve made the odd poor choice in the past, perhaps you’ve placed trust in the wrong person; this single insight may prove invaluable to you too.

I have personally found this single point of insight the most powerful and accurate way to quickly judge whether or not someone is right for me, as a partner or trusted friend.

While it may sound harsh to judge someone on a single trait or behavior, I’ve felt the consequences of the opposite inclination far too deeply— for many years I excused and accepted poor behaviors from partners and friends.

But no more.

The one thing that gives true insight into someone’s character is how they behave when someone wrongs them.
