#186 GOOD PERSON or GOOD PERFORMANCE? How Can You REALLY Tell?

<p>How do you know whether someone is genuinely a good person — or simply very good at appearing to be one?</p><p>After spending several days meeting people face-to-face at the Galactic Spiritual Informers Connection with<a href="https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCou3zWsYnUHqxmmXhR2yK-w"> <u> @DaniHenderson-GSIC </u></a>  I came home thinking about something we ALL need to get better at: discernment. Not because the people there were not lovely (they were 😊) - but because  when so much of our information comes from online, that makes discernment harder. </p><p>In this week&#39;s Coffee Chat, Brice from<a href="https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCTA208fPy9IexXsllIpkbUA"> <u> @EsotericAtlanta </u></a> and I explore why we can trust people far too quickly online — and why we can be equally quick to label someone a shill, controlled or “bad” without actually looking at the evidence.</p><p>We talk about the halo effect, charisma, expertise versus character, parasocial relationships, confirmation bias, sunk-cost fallacy and why agreeing with someone about ONE thing doesn&#39;t mean you need to trust them about everything.</p><p>Perhaps the most useful question is incredibly simple:</p><p>What am I actually trusting this person FOR?</p><p>We also look at the little things that reveal character: how someone treats people who can do nothing for them, whether their actions match their words, how they respond to criticism or a NO, whether they can admit “I don&#39;t know” — and what happens when the camera is switched off.</p><p>In a world where almost anyone can build an impressive online persona, time may be one of the best bullshit detectors we&#39;ve got.</p><p>Stay curious. Stay discerning. And don&#39;t outsource your judgement.</p><p>Catherine x</p><p>————————————————</p><p>👉 If you KNOW what you need to change but keep finding yourself repeating the same behaviours, my 1:1 Freedom From Self-Sabotage coaching helps you identify the patterns behind it, rebuild self-trust and actually follow through.</p><p><a href="https://www.catherineedwards.life/consults/freedom-from-self-sabotage-10-week-programme/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.catherineedwards.life/consults/freedom-from-self-sabotage-10-week-programme/</a></p><p>————————————————</p><p>💪 TRY FUSION BODY STUDIO</p><p>I genuinely love what Brice has created with Fusion Body Studio.
