When they’re validating how you feel. A lot of people don’t seem to realize that people feel things differently, if they are upset about something society considers minor, it’s not minor to them, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Otherwise it worsens someone’s mental health, and can make them struggle to get help.
Someone capable of understanding this tells me that they understand how it feels to be told “it doesn’t matter”, and don’t want to inflict that pain to others.
Generally I don’t find people who hurt others because it’s “justified” or “that’s life”, good people.
Owning their mistakes/admitting when they’re wrong.
Like everything else people have mentioned here, it’s not a guarantee that they’re good, but it can be a part of what makes them good or a sign that they are.
I recently met someone and we had a mutual acquaintance. She said to me “Oh gosh she’s so lovely isn’t she. Everyone I speak to who knows her always say she’s such a good person” I said “The best thing about her is that she’s a good person whether people are watching or not”
I think the true sign of being a genuinely good person is that they are a good person no matter who is or isn’t in the room.
My friend’s wife closed the curtains at a hotel when the sun was hitting my face and all I had to do was to look at the curtain. That’s it. And she didn’t say anything. Just acted. Not even my then girlfriend noticed it. Of course I thanked her and in my mind I could not thank her enough. And she was from a very rich family. She was very rich and the whole family had this “I am richer than all of you” kind of attitude. So it’s not just coming from humility. It’s empathy. I don’t know what other psychoanalysis I could present. This was at a hotel when many of my friends at the time had gone for a holiday.
When someone proactively does something like that, you know he or she is a good person.
biggest one I’ve noticed is how they see themselves. I’ve found people who think they are a gift from heaven and the hottest thing that walked earth generally have horrible personalities versus the people who undervalue themselves generally are good people but that’s just my opinion
How they treat service workers, such as waiters, cleaners in the office, taxi drivers, etc.
That’s, mostly, a great indicator for how they will treat everyone else.
A subtle sign?
They feel guilt -but don’t turn it into drama. They turn it into action.
They don’t defend themselves or search for who’s “right” -they calmly admit where they were wrong. Even when no one is demanding it.
A good person isn’t someone who’s always nice.
It’s someone who, in difficult moments, stays honest with themselves -even when it’s uncomfortable.
How they treat people they don’t have to be nice to, like waitstaff, janitors, or strangers who can’t offer them anything. Kindness without expectation reveals genuine character.
Most people tend to operate under the assumption that other people think like them (barring people whose behavior is way different from theirs). So one thing I’ve noticed is that if someone is not a good person, they will believe that everyone exhibiting kind, egalitarian behavior or espousing views corresponding with these things, is faking it as a manipulation tactic. A good person, while they will acknowledge that such faking certainly does exist, will also believe that a lot of people’s kindness and expression of egalitarian beliefs is genuine.
When they curse. Not so subtle, as what is being asked. 😅 Pero when someone curses, and just straight up says what’s in their mind, and nothing in their words contains any panlalait or paninira against a person, but instead a mere logical argument followed by a couple or more profanities, then that person for me is one that is good.
I hate the mask worn by those who pretend to be holy and pure.
