12 Minor Red Flags That Matter More Than You Think

โ€œAssuming the worst in others. Doubly so if they use that assumed dog-eat-dog mentality to justify shitty behaviors. It means deep down, they care about themselves over anyone and anything else, and will act on that in their day to day.โ€ โ€” Ok-Double9136

โ€œWhen they fail to remember minor (but significant) details about you. If you have to remind someone twice that you donโ€™t drink, thatโ€™s a red flag. If you have to remind them twice that you have Celiac disease, which makes restaurant dining complicated, thatโ€™s a red flag.โ€ โ€” GingerMau

โ€œWhen dishing up food, they take a lot more of the nicer components of the dish for themselves and give you less. Be it chicken or tofu, yโ€™know the juicy part of a pasta dish or something.โ€ โ€” Enbiss

โ€œAnyone who pressures you to take a condom off sucks. They donโ€™t respect you and are light weight creepy. Keep that shit wrapped up boys and girls donโ€™t let anyone tell you what is and isnโ€™t comfortable. Yes it is way worse with a condom on but if thems the rules thatโ€™s the rules.โ€ โ€” raptor6722

โ€œWhen they promote toxic positivity. Like the people that go, โ€˜What are you depressed for? Youโ€™re alive, you get to see the earth with your eyes,โ€™ when you actually need professional help.โ€ โ€” alli_ssamaaa

โ€œThe Waiter Test. The person who is nice to you but isnโ€™t nice to the waiter isnโ€™t a nice person. This also applies to cashiers, counter help, hotel clerks, custodians, security guards, and everyone else in similar positions. HOWEVER, donโ€™t apply the waiter test the first time you meet someone. Wait until theyโ€™ve been around you a few times and are comfortable in their skin around you. The first few times they are on their best behavior.โ€ โ€” AnybodySeeMyKeys

โ€œIf they constantly use their trauma as an excuse for everything bad theyโ€™re doing. Also, using trauma for guilt tripping when they want to get something.โ€ โ€” MacaroonEven2670

โ€œOne-upping or being self-righteous. Itโ€™s one thing to contribute to a conversation/talk about something youโ€™re proud of but I have a coworker who uses every chance she gets to pat herself on the back: โ€˜My kid was THE MOST WELL-BEHAVED on the field trip. MY DAUGHTERS would never act out like their classmates.โ€™ โ€˜I hate going to restaurants because I can ALWAYS make the food better, cheaper and more healthy.โ€™โ€ โ€” G_Ram3

โ€œNever saying sorry. We are people. We make mistakes. And even if we didnโ€™t mean to, our words and behavior can hurt other peopleโ€™s feeling. Just say sorry and move on, itโ€™s not a big deal. But if someone is refusing to do so, it is a red flag to me.โ€ โ€” Taiyo_K

โ€œWhen they regularly make negative comments and claim itโ€™s just a joke or criticism. Usually about the way you dress, talk, etc.โ€ โ€” Objective-Medicine51

โ€œWhen they talk shit behind everyoneโ€™s back but have what I like to call a sticky sweet personality to their face. I know some people like that.โ€ โ€” EchoSpecial87

โ€œThey donโ€™t say please or thank you when ordering something small like a coffee or something. It costs no money and takes no energy. Just an asshole move not to be polite to the people youโ€™re getting service from. Or anyone for that matter.โ€ โ€” Gentleman_Jedi
