Really getting to know a person can take years… or a few minutes if we know where to look. It is not a matter of judging by appearances or by what someone says about themselves, but of paying attention to certain gestures and reactions that reveal much more than words.
Carl Jung, the famous Swiss psychiatrist and founder of analytical psychology, maintained that character manifests itself clearly in everyday and spontaneous situations. According to him, if we want to discover someone’s true self, there are two key things we need to look at. This approach, as simple as it is revealing, allows us to understand who is really in front of us.
