When someone or something gives off good vibes, you can immediately tell: a field full of vibrant sunflowers, a home cooked meal with your closest friends, an album that makes you want to move and groove. On the other hand, when a person is radiating bad vibes, it can be easy to tell as well.

Below, you’ll find some of the subtle traits that are immediate signs of bad vibes that Reddit users have recently been sharing online. Take note of any of these behaviors to look out for, and be sure to upvote the ones that make you wary of certain people too.

    Person gently holding an orange tabby cat's face, conveying subtle bad vibes about someone in a casual setting. When they don’t like cats. And I don’t mean like “oh I’m just a dog person” I mean like “a cat is just a moving speed bump” kind of person. It gives me “I don’t like relationships I can’t control” and “I don’t respect living things that exist beyond my control” vibes.

    Blue budgie perched on a person's hand, symbolizing subtle signs that instantly give bad vibes about someone. The way they view pets. If they pick up a pet who'll live 60+ years (like some parrots) and then randomly say "lol I'll give it away/abandon/release in the wild" after the poor thing is attached? Big red flag. Pets can't live properly on the streets/in the wild after domestication. For birds, they would need readaptation to wild settings. And pets can die from heartbreak/depression.

    Denim jacket hanging on a white wall, symbolizing subtle vibes and impressions that instantly give bad vibes about someone. The way they treat, or talk about, pets or animals is a good way to judge character. And another is how they treat their belongings. Example: Knew a guy who wouldn’t hang up his jacket. Just drop it on the floor or some furniture. Same with his phone and stuff, he’d have a new phone every week because he kept dropping it or casually throwing it onto tables. The disregard for the value of things just bugged me. If you don’t value your own stuff, how can you value other people’s belongings. Ya know?
