Some Call It Love, We Call It A Walking Red Flag: 25 Scenarios For You To Judge
“A big deal or am I overthinking?” Not every red flag is obvious. Sometimes it can be something small that you don’t really notice until later. That’s why it is tricky to figure them out.
In this poll, you will go through 25 situations that might be red flags. Or maybe they’re totally fine. Depends on you, really.
So what’s a dealbreaker and what’s just a weird oddity? Let’s find out! 🚩

They don’t say sorry - they just act like nothing ever happened
They constantly joke about your insecurities, but say you're “too serious”
That's all them ( projection of self ) and not at all you. Just walk away and move on. Leave negativity and criticism behind. People who feel good about themselves (emotionally healthy) do not tear other people down. There's no need to do it. You're supposed to be kind and gentle with yourself. Self validation is #1. When you need constant outside validation, there's something wrong. Because, you're unable to love yourself. You're worthy.. once you realize this.. it's easy to just not pay attention to these types of people and walk away "happily."
You’ve never met a single one of their friends, because they don’t really have any
They say, “I’m just not a big texter”, and you barely hear from them between hangouts
They low-key make fun of your taste in music, shows, or food
One of the reasons I'm with my wife is because she had some Tull in her collection when we met. And then when I played her Zappa, she didn't run screaming.
Connecting over your musical taste is completely different from making fun of someone else's.

Why would you want to ridicule and humiliate the person you love? That is just bullying plain and simple.
It depends on the dynamics of the relationship. I have close friends with whom we love and trust each other enough to playfully make fun of one another. Some people share a dry sense of humor. The key is knowing when it’s appropriate to use it.
Load More Replies...Walk away from criticism. Don't let people bring you down. Simple enough. That's all sprinkles of negativity. Your brain 🧠 deserves better and needs to be around more positive ✨️ everything. So it can grow and dance!! So it's happy 😊 and healthy. Also stay away from anything too extreme and fear based.

They ask you for advice and then do the exact opposite
I don't expect people to follow my advice. I expect them not to complain when they do the opposite and backfires spectacularly.
They’ve never been in a serious, long-term relationship
Gotta start somewhere. Some people need to explore what they want an experience things before they find out who they want to settle with.
They say they’re “not close with their family” and never really explain why
I wouldn't explain why unless I'm seriously committed to someone. I don't go around explaining my family history
They avoid talking about the future
That's a timing thing. If they talk about the future too soon: worrying. If they don't talk about the future after being together for a long time: worrying
They always play the victim, even when they’re clearly in the wrong
They make big promises fast, but don’t always follow through
They act differently around their friends than they do with you
They say, “that’s just how I am”
They think having separate hobbies or interests is “drifting apart”
If anything it's completely normal and healthy to have separate interests. But it's good to try to take in each other's interests, try it out, observe, try to understand what it's all about.
They always want you to change something about yourself - your clothes, your hair, your vibe
" They hide behind sarcasm even in serious conversations " - are they or are they not British? 😉
Yeah, there should be a "British exception" because I swear they can't speak otherwise 😂
Load More Replies...What kind of quiz is this? I thought it would be a mix of good and bad, but many of these are bad.
Right. Some of these are like pants-on-head stupid if you don't pick "red flag".
Load More Replies...Anyone who voted for the last one of each should NOT be in a relationship
I am concerned for those that would let everything slide and are totally blind to what are giant glowing red flag events.
