How they act when they make a mistake

How they act when they make a mistake

We all make mistakes. But when you address it in a respectful, kind, and fair way, how do they respond?

  • Do they apologize and commit to avoiding it?
  • Do they make excuses, get defensive, or go silent?
  • Do they blame you, accuse you of making it a big deal, or go back in time and list your transgressions (that they never mentioned before and have been saving just for this occasion)?

How their real-life compares to their social media life

Check how someone acts on social media versus reality.

Do they always need to put on a show, humblebrag, or showcase every “amazing” detail of their day—even though their life is ordinary? It can say a lot about how a person thinks, how they feel, and what motivates them.

How they keep their commitments

How they keep their commitments

We actually make a lot of commitments in daily life like:

  • “I’ll let you know about the meeting by Friday.”
  • “I’ll be there in 5 minutes.”
  • “I’ll call you at 6 pm.”

If you notice a pattern where someone fails to follow through with any of their commitm...

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
