Bring a Friend or Someone You Trust
You tell Johnny that you’ll only meet him if you bring your older cousin and go to a busy coffee shop. He suddenly says he can’t make it and stops messaging you. Later, you feel proud for setting a boundary. You realize that his reaction meant he wasn’t being honest and that you made the safest choice.
If a person has bad intentions, they might not show up when you bring someone else with you. That’s a sign they weren’t being honest. You might feel proud you stayed safe and didn’t fall for a trick.
