In order to "come out from among them" we must know their character. Discernment is a gift we must develop through knowledge of God's Word. It is not a virtue to pretend someone is alright because they were friendly to us, its the same as lying.
1 John 4:1
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world."
Anyone who says I try to see the good in everyone is really saying; "I want everyone to like me so I have to ignore any clues something might be wrong." This is not wise nor is it love. When we are wise and loving we face truth in ourselves and in everyone else too.
