Red Flags in Relationships: Know When to Run

Hello, beautiful people! Welcome to my blog. It's a pleasure to have you in this space. Once again, welcome 🤗

A lot of people get so blinded by love that they tend to forget what to look out for in any kind of relationship.

Red flags are actually warning signs that might end in potential problems that are staring at us in the face in some of our relationships, but we get blinded by our love, friendship, and convenience that we tend to overlook them.

Here are some of the things I consider red flags in any kind of relationship:

Controlling freak: Some people are overly possessive; getting overly jealous unnecessary, while some may want to restrict your freedom.

Sometime ago, my friend was in a relationship with this guy who was a control freak. He wanted to know about her every movement to the extent that sometimes when he calls her and he is hearing voices of people around, he would want to know who she is with, and if she says she is with me, he will tell her to pass the phone to me to confirm if she was telling the truth. She dares not miss his call; if not, she would spend the whole day explaining herself and apologizing. When I complained to her that I was not comfortable with the way he was treating her, she said he said it's because he loves her and doesn't want anyone taking her away from him.

Comparison: People that compare you with other people will never appreciate who you are or what you do; they will always find faults in any small things. People like this will constantly belittle you at any given opportunity. Such people would abuse you emotionally.

Manipulators: Have you met someone who manipulates you emotionally? Run away from such people; they would use anything to control you, like self-pity, crying, guilt, or anger.

Emotional drainers: There are people that leave you drain anytime you talk to them.
I knew someone like that: anytime we talk, I usually end up exhausted emotionally. This kind of person just feels they are perfect; they know everything. Such people will just deplete your energy.

Dishonesty and lies Some people can so lie that they don't need to think of what to say when they are being caught; lies flow out of them naturally. Run away from people that are constantly lying, hiding the truth, or breaking your trust.

These and more are some of the red flags that, if noticed in any kind of relationship, will make me run. I love myself so much and I care for my mental well-being, so as much as possible I would run from anything that would disturb my peace of mind.

THANK YOU FOR READING TO THE END 🤗
