By special request, today's post will be on identifying and dealing with people who kept it "less than 100"
From experience I can tell you one thing that will ALWAYS remain true: people will show you who they really are very early on, all you have to do is pay attention. Once that person has shown you who they are, please believe them, it'll save you a whole lot of trouble in the end.
Example: Said person may be the sweetest thing to you, but if you notice that they always have something to say to you about someone whom you thought to be their friend; chances are when you leave their telling someone else something about you. When I say "something" I mean anything that they haven't or wouldn't say to that person directly.
Next, I've come to the conclusion that most people who keep it "less than 100" only do so because they have yet to learn to be honest with themselves. I can't expect you to tell me the truth if you can't tell yourself the truth. Being completely comfortable with yourself takes some people a long time to get to. If you are fortunate enough to be one of those people who have reached that level of self awareness and comfort, try to be a little understanding when you recognize that the person you are dealing with is not quite there yet. I'm not saying to let everything slide, by all means call them on the BS it's a part of their learning experience, so don't let them get away with it.
Finally, the best way to deal with those who keep it "less than 100" and just people in general is this: 1.) Know what you are and are not willing to put up with 2.) Make people aware of those things 3.) Should an individual cross one of your lines let them know you won't put up with it and STICK TO IT 4.) STICK TO IT!! Don't make a stand for yourself and then back down later, that will get you no where very quickly
