Five Tips on Understanding People and Their Behaviour/motives

1. Don’t be fooled for one second when most people say “Thank you!” to be honest, when you do something for someone such as buying them a present, all they are really trying to say is; “Good, now do it again!”

2. Associating with unhappy and negative people will not help you. All they want is for you to be just like them, which will corrupt your spirit and make you genuinely unhappy even though you were happy before you met them.

3. On friendship: People who want things from you will call you their friend, and they will try their best to please you and be nice to you.  A real friend will do the opposite and will tell you what you need to hear but don’t necessarily want to hear from them.

4. It is fairly easy to tell that the people who want everyone to be like them, be it so called role models etc., are insecure people down to their very bones. When they try to get you to change, they are just trying to solidify the insecurity about their liffe that you are causing by being different and individualistic.

5. People with bad tempers and who are emotional are either one of two things; a true emotional person who only wants to be left alone and who hates life, and those who want attention and spend their time feeling sorry for themselves and getting people to feel sorry for them.
