Red flags are warning indicators of unhealthy or manipulative behaviour. These may tend to grow and worsen with time
Identifying red flags is a crucial safety measure to ensure that you don't put up with uncomfortable behaviour when dating
Here are some red flag behaviours to be aware of while dating someone
They shy away from conflict and refuse to seek solutions through communication
Their main concern is what they want, and they expect you to conform to their preferences with no effort on their part
If you have hobbies, interests, or friendships that exclude them, they become upset, withdrawn, or pessimistic
They get irritated when your goals and needs are not in line with what they want and do not respect your boundaries
They have trouble admitting mistakes and react negatively to constructive criticism of their problematic behaviour
Once they adopt an opinion, they are rigid and averse to considering any other options
They blame others for their mood instead of accepting responsibility for their own feelings or needs
