Healthy Mind Why Assuming the Best in People Benefits You Amy Morin, LCSW Verywell Mind Editor-in-Chief While some people say you should always give others the "benefit of the doubt," other people say doing so means you let people take advantage of you.

In fact, you can still assume other people are doing their best while also establishing clear boundaries with them. There's a surprising upside of assuming the best in others; it actually lowers your stress levels. But it takes some practice.
