    I tend to ask the people close to me if they’d be interested in joining me for xyz and seeing how they react.

    • Ex: “Would you be interested in watching the Barbie movie with me?”

    Asking for small favors and trading back and forth is also a good method I know to tell who’s more trustworthy and dependable.

    Besides that it’s hard to share what tricks I know as it’s second nature/intuition for me. If I happen to notice them I’ll share it here🤗
