Communication is key. In your actions as well as your words. I also think we should leave space for people to grow. We are dynamic after all and constantly growing and evolving so that should be taken into consideration. Sometimes. Of course there are those hard pass moments where you need to step away from certain individuals, especially those who communicate verbally good things towards you but their actions don’t add up to that. In a perfect world we’d all communicate clearly to each other and be more forthcoming with the type of person that we are. This world is far from perfect though. The best we can do is invest the time necessary into getting to know someone completely. Trust can go a long way and I’m not knocking that but building trust through dialogue and actions. That kind of trust can’t be easily broken.
