What’s a not-entirely-obvious sign that someone is genuinely a good person?

They return the shopping cart even if it's raining.
My shame tactic is to limp over to an abandoned cart with my cane very visible, then shake my head as I put it in a corral. The amount of gulity faces I see driving away warms my heart just a bit.
They show kindness when nobody is watching
Helping someone and asking nothing in return.
There isn't one. Goodness is not one thing, and showing compassion or thoughtfulness in one domain is no guarantee that someone isn't a monster in another.
Though some are more monstrous than others:-).
They are kind to people who cannot help them.
returning their cart to the cart return
They apologize in situations when it's not even a big deal, like walking past someone in the grocery store aisle who's trying to look at the items on the shelf.
Ah, so Canadian then? J/k... and I'm sorry!? :-P (edit: eh?)
They don't immediately take to social media to post about their deed or action.
I dunno... isn't that like breathing air for a Gen-Z person? Good or bad, it must be shared with everyone! 😉😜🤣
I love how to me all these answers are just basic decency, not special.
And yet... how many people actually implement them, in daily life? It would be great though wouldn't it?:-D
Yep :(.
Though to give credit to people, the average person is stressed and overwhelmed as fuck, and has some pretty deep trauma. We aren’t operating in the sort of system that is naturally designed to promote kindness.
Showing kindness or compassion to those weaker or smaller than themselves.
Ie: gentle with small animals
When you say something REALLY insensitive or ignorant and they don’t smile or laugh, they just ignore you.
