6. It Is Safe To Believe That a Person Is Exactly Whom They Show You

The wisdom of Maya Angelou will forever ring true:

“When people show you who they are, believe them!”

I know you’ve heard this countless times, but I felt it necessary to share it one more time.

You’re not seeing things, it wasn’t just a one-time thing and this honestly goes back to number 2.

Making excuses for what people do to you is poor self-treatment. Don’t do that – do not treat others better than you treat yourself! (That’s a tweetable!)

If whom a person has shown you does not fit into what you expect from people that you allow in your personal space, then write pink slips accordingly.

And if by chance a pink slip is not the proper course of action, simply treat people according to their personalities and behaviors. Meet inconsistency with less accessibility – problem solved! Whisper a prayer for them and keep forging ahead.
