LET THEM Give them a choice. Allow them freedom. Extend grace. And observe what they'd rather do anyway. Without influence. Without constraint. The easiest way to see someone's true colors is to sit back, be firm in your energy, and witness in silence. You see, those who were never on your side from the beginning will be quick to take another person's opinion against you because they had that negative view of you all along and were waiting for 'confirmation' in their head. Those who truly have your back will stand up for you when you're not there in the room with them. Keep your discernment sharp. Pay close attention. Just... let them.
