      How do you arrive at someone’s intention other than by perception?

        I answered this question below:

        It shouldn’t matter. Even if you don’t know why someone does something there’s still an intention behind that behaviour and it matters.

        Ofcourse that doesn’t mean you’re going to be fine as long as your intentions are pure even if your actions are perceived to be malicious because you might suffer the consequences from the misunderstanding but you’re still not a bad person.

        The reverse of this would be a high functioning charming psychopath that’s great at manipulating people and is well liked but his intentions are to take advantage of you so they’re a truly bad person despite not being perceived as such

          Oh I have definitely encountered this type of guy before.
