Situations That Show You People’s True Colors

How did you end up being so close with the people in your circle? I’m sure there was a situation that put your relationship to the test or just brought you together. Whatever it was, you came out on the other side with a sense of trust and love for one another. You meet people all of the time, and while many seem like great individuals, it’s hard to say that you really know a person until you go through one of these complicated situations together.
It feels great when someone surprises you and shows you that your connection goes deeper than you initially thought. Unfortunately, not every relationship makes it through bumps in this road of life, and you quickly find out who’s a permanent acquaintance and who was just meant to be around for a season (make that a few seasons).
Have you ever gone through one of these situations and someone close to you showed you their true colors?

Eat With Them
Have you ever been so shocked by someone’s table manners that it made you think differently of them? Or maybe you found out that Mr. At Least I Thought He Was Right was actually rude when you saw how he treated the waitress? The smallest things can expose a person’s true colors.
