ho do YOU sort the wheat out from the chaff?

[NorthernRaider]

what is your approach to ensuring you only end up interacting with people of a similar outlook , viewpoint and mentality to yourselves?

Thats again a genuine question I see other opinions on so i can learn to better my own skills.

EG if you were in a similar position to me how do you ensure you dont waste time on nut jobs, fantasists, conspiracy theorists, regligous types or others who dont meet your group / families common values?

How do you learn from them and respect their points of view whilst ensuring you dont get too involved with them?

( I've just had a double barreled nut job at my door, we had coffee but I ended up asking him to leave, Everything was Jesus this, Jesus that, prepping is gods holy mission and other weirdness)
