It’s only natural that if you’ve had some bad experiences with people that have made you a bit skeptical of their intentions, but that only serves to keep you from making some amazing connections in life. People who always see the best in everyone tend to view things a bit differently — here’s what they do.

1. They’re curious about other people’s stories.

People who see the best in everyone are genuinely intrigued by what makes people tick. They love to unravel the layers of someone’s life story because they know it holds the key to understanding and appreciating them. This really helps them to see what makes people who they are, and they end up having much richer, stronger relationships as a result.

2. They have a knack for spotting and celebrating the small wins in others’ lives.

Whether it’s something like achieving daily goal or overcoming a minor hurdle, people who see the best in everyone are all about celebrating these little victories. This ability to find joy in the mundane not only uplifts people but also keeps their own spirits high. It just puts out positive vibes, and that’s irresistible to be around.

3. They’re not competitive, they’re collaborative.

These people shy away from competition, preferring cooperation instead. They know deep down that everyone can contribute something valuable. This belief in the power of teamwork makes them excellent at creating environments where everyone feels included and valued. It’s not all about them — it’s about everyone.

4. To them, being real is way more important than being perfect.

They cherish those moments when people let down their guards and show their true selves, quirks, flaws, and all. They really love authenticity, and this creates a safe space for genuine connections. Their willingness to accept imperfections encourages people to embrace their own uniqueness, as well as empowering them to always be open and honest.

5. They stay positive even when things get tough.

It’s not that they ignore the negative stuff, it’s just that they get that everyone has challenges and things they’re not so proud of. They believe people’s strength and potential to overcome adversity, which often inspires them to face their own struggles with hope and courage.

6. They have an eye for spotting potential in people.

This belief in everyone’s potential makes them great mentors and cheerleaders. They’re really good at offering encouragement and support, and they always go out of their way to help people believe in themselves and go after their dreams. Their ability to see what could be instead of just what is always inspires people around them. They’re like a walking self-help book, just less obnoxious.

7. Kindness is their go-to response, no matter the situation.

They approach every situation with kindness, whether they’re dealing with a friend, a stranger, or even someone who hasn’t been particularly nice to them. They’re not naive or a pushover, they just figure the world can always use more positivity. Being so compassionate ends up shutting down conflicts and helps people gain a greater understanding. It makes them not just pleasant to be around but also a source of comfort. Who wouldn’t want to be around someone like that?

8. They’re open-minded and accepting.

People who see the best in everyone are open to a variety of perspectives and ways of life, which is why they’re all about celebrating the diversity in how people express their greatness. Their open-mindedness doesn’t just stop at acceptance; they legit value what makes each person unique. This not only makes people feel seen and heard but also nurtures a really positive environment.

9. They stay humble and down-to-earth.

Their humility is key to their approachability. Despite their positive influence, they never think or act like they’re better than anyone else. They blend their ability to see the good in people with a grounded, modest personality.. This combination of traits makes them well-liked and respected by pretty much everyone.

10. They offer feedback that’s actually constructive.

When giving feedback (never unsolicited, I might add), they focus on growth and improvement. They steer clear of harsh criticism, choosing to uplift and inspire people instead. Their feedback is often a blend of honesty and compassion, which helps people recognize and work towards their potential.

11. They’re consistent in their reliability.

They’re there for people they care about consistently, whether they need help or just someone to talk to. Their reliability is a testament to their commitment to people’s well-being, no matter the circumstance. It’s this dependability that makes them remarkable. People know they can be relied upon, and that’s a huge comfort.

12. They have an oddly calming presence.

Their ability to stay calm, especially under pressure, provides stability and reassurance to everyone they know. This isn’t just about being unflappable; it’s about offering a peaceful presence that helps other people find their footing in really stressful or anxiety-inducing situations. Their composed nature often brings clarity and comfort, making them a go-to person in times of need.
