What Makes An All-Around Good Person?

Are You A Good Person?

I think it's fair to say nobody is perfect, and this post isn't to say that you must be absolutely perfect in order to be a good person. However I will be explaining a list of traits which I personally do find good in people around me, see how many you agree with.

Flexibility

Okay, so no, I don't mean physical flexibility, if you can be flexible as a character, it means you are reliable and often looked upon when trouble hits. Your friends will almost always count on you to help them when they need it, and the majority of the time, you are able to with little obstacles standing in your way. Flexible people often put others ahead of themselves which definitely contributes to their reputation for being a good person.

Perfectionism

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with being a perfectionist at all. Whether it be ordering your clothes in a certain way, or completing a project to it's highest standard, perfectionism is something that is often frowned upon, though I don't understand why. Perfectionists aren't time wasters, rather people who really do dedicate all they have to making their work the very best it can be. These people are easily motivated, and won't stop until the finished product is exactly how they envisioned it to begin with. As well as being hard workers, perfectionists are often good at handling advice and giving help to the best of their ability.

Empathy

Life is tough sometimes. We all need support from that special someone when the time comes that we do need another person in our life to help us with our burdens. If someone is empathetic, you can count on them to help you out of any bad situation as best as they can. Empathetic people are always there when you aren't feeling your best, and will have a solution to ease the pain. No matter what obstacles you throw at them, these are good friends to have, they will always return to help you no matter the cost. Being empathetic is a hard skill to master, but if you have someone who does show this sort of care for you, hold on to them, they really are someone special.

How To Be A Good Friend

Being Able To Adapt

There are many ups and downs in our lives, some people prefer to live in the fast lane, whilst others have no choice but to have a rapid lifestyle. There are changes everyone will have to go through, such as leaving school, moving house or starting a new job. None of us are ever prepared for them, but if you are able to adapt to these sort of situations easily, it is definitely something I would love to be able to do. Like many on this list, those who find change indifferent can use their experiences to help others, and can even convince the more reluctant to try what they did, because in their mind, it wasn't so much of a big deal after all.

Perseverance

Try, try and try again. Those with good perseverance will never back down when things get rough, and will rather embrace it and carry on. They will never give up without a good few attempts, and only when trying their absolute best will they consider moving on. These kinds of people are extremely motivating, and do fabulously in social situations and their outlook is predominantly positive, no matter what situation they find themselves in.

Charisma

There's always that one person who comes to mind as being over-friendly. They are a breath of fresh air on a gloomy day, and seeing their face will only ever make you want to smile. These bubbly companions make for an enjoyable day out, and an even better friend. There will never be a time where you forget they are there. Loyal and loving, charismatic people will always make the most remarkable friends, and are definitely more than willing to attend a party or two. It seems there is no

Ways You Can Be A Better Person

'off' switch for these guys. In hindsight, we all need a a good laugh after a long day.

Perception

Perceptive people are no less than a miracle. They can avoid a bad situation from occurring before it does quicker than the average person. It seems they have a sixth sense for picking up signals and will always use this to their advantage, or rather to prevent consequences. They can spot lies from a mile away, and will find out the truth eventually, there is no use trying to hide it from them! As honest beings, perceptive friends will always give you that honest opinion you need, whether it be on the new shirt you bought, or a girl you like. You can count on them to be there for you.

So, did you see any characteristics that you have? Or maybe a close family member or friend has presented these. Either way, you are special in your own right - love who you are!
