A famous writer once said, “People who truly enjoy causing trouble never get angry easily.”

We often encounter people like this: nothing major happens, but they easily get into arguments.

Everyone thinks these people are unreasonable and dislike being friends with them.

Sometimes, I enjoy being around people who speak their mind and easily get angry because they are straightforward.

When you interact with them, you can also be candid because they will speak their mind.

But then there are friends who never get angry around you, and you have never seen them get angry with others.

Some people think that someone who never gets angry is an easy target, but in reality, you should be cautious when dealing with them.

False Friends Who Know How to Sweet-Talk

When I first started working, I met a colleague like this.

No matter what tasks others assigned to him, he would do them willingly.

In everyone’s eyes, he was like everyone’s favorite, easy to get along with, and good at comforting others.

When nothing was going on in the office, everyone thought he was a good person.

But one time, a young girl in the office had some family issues. She had just graduated and didn’t have much money, so she needed to borrow some from her colleagues.

When the girl asked for help, those who were usually straightforward lent her money. However, the colleague who always spoke sweetly and never got angry refused to help, saying it wasn’t his obligation.

There is a saying: “Helping you is showing kindness, not helping you is just staying neutral.”

People shouldn’t hold grudges if others don’t help them, but when others not only refuse to help but also mock and criticize them during hardships, they are unforgivable.

Some people who sweet-talk may deceive you with their words.

You might think they are naturally good-natured and kind, so you always rush to their aid.

But to your surprise, when others face difficulties, these people not only run away but also add insult to injury.

They may seem nice and complete tasks given to them, but when others struggle, they try to make things worse for them.

If one day they succeed, the first people they will hurt are those around them who once asked for their help. Be cautious when interacting with such people.

Concealed Malice

A classmate once told me that his good friend never gets angry around him.

At first, he thought his friend never getting mad at him was a gift from above, so he cherished the relationship.

But one day, when he visited this friend’s house, the friend’s mother casually mentioned a misunderstanding between him and their friend, blaming him for everything.

That’s when he realized that the friend who never got mad around him was talking behind his back.

Some people are like this, hiding their true selves when around you. You may consider them your best friend, but they talk badly about you behind your back.

A person who acts friendly to your face but speaks ill of you behind your back is not a noble person but a villain.

A true friend would address any issues with you directly, not pretend to be happy in your presence and then badmouth you to others.

Be cautious when dealing with someone who pretends to like you but doesn’t truly trust you.

The Unexpected Outburst

I once heard the older generation say, “Even a docile donkey can kick someone to death.”

Some people seem very gentle and never get angry easily. You may have never seen them lose their temper.

But be cautious when dealing with such people; even the most patient person has their limits.

Years ago, a friend borrowed money from me, thinking I was easy to bully because I appeared gentle and never raised my voice at anyone.

One day, while I was showering, he smashed my phone, thinking he could get away with it.

Instead of letting it slide, I reported him to the authorities. He returned the money and replaced the phone.

Never bully someone who appears calm; they may not show anger, but it doesn’t mean they are incapable of it.

When with someone who doesn’t easily get angry, avoid bullying others recklessly. Sometimes, you need to be cautious.

Give others a way out and leave one for yourself.

As the saying goes, “You may know someone’s face but not their heart.”

And remember, “People hide their true intentions!”

Some people may not show anger in front of you, but that doesn’t mean they are honest. They may suddenly explode one day, so don’t push their limits, or they might unleash all their grievances on you.
