Are you a good judge of character?
I like to think I’m a good judge of character when it comes to someone’s vibe, their juju. You know the way they carry themselves… the energy they give off. Most of the time… then I look back at ex friendships and ex relationships and I wonder if I’m such a good judge why did I pick them?
Maybe it has to do with different personality traits, different perspectives, or even disorders. Maybe some people are just better at hiding their intentions until the right moment. That doesn’t always affect me, and sometimes it clearly does. so maybe when it doesn’t affect me it’s easier to spot.
When it does affect me, my sense of judgment feels obviously flawed… no matter how many vibes I try to feel out, no matter how much intuition I trust. It’s imperfect, and sometimes painfully obvious that my read on someone is off. Even if it isn’t always obvious to me.
So, yes… I can feel someone’s energy. I can sense vibes. But character is messy, layered, and occasionally hidden. My intuition is useful, but it’s not infallible.
Judging character is part instinct, part observation, and part luck. Even with a strong sense of vibes or juju, hidden intentions and context can make anyone’s judgment flawed. The key is knowing the limits of intuition and staying aware that human behavior isn’t always readable at first or one hundredth glance.
