In this thread, please write down the earliest red flags you realized you had ignored after the friendship or relationship went to shit. Let's learn from eachother the early signs of future abuse or just a shit person so we can avoid people like that in the future.

I will start:
>telling you not to be late for a mutual meeting with another person, because they don't want to get on that person's bad side, but for some reason they are always late when they meet up with you
I guess she wanted to get on my bad side, huh?

In hindsight I really shouldn't have dated someone from 4chan.

An easy one to spot is when you have to walk on eggshells around someone continuously. If somebody is upset or angry over seemingly small things very often, imagine yourself decades down the line after the same repeated behavior. You'll wear yourself down in no time and you will only associate that person with the negative feelings you have when you're with them.

Says things like
>I don't want you to think X about me
>I don't want you to think I'm like X or Y
The key here is that they are want to control your perception of them and want to remove your autonomy by preventing you from coming to your own conclusion about them based on the way they behave.

Making excuses for something nice they wanted to do for you, but didn't end up doing:
>I wanted to get/do something for you, but…
There's literally no point for anyone to say that unless they want to manipulate you into thinking that they are so thoughtful or generous without doing anything. If someone doesn't get you a gift or didn't do something you didn't ask them to and declares "they wanted to" but the stars just didn't align, that's just trying to paint a fake image of themselves without doing anything. A normal person who wanted to get you flowers but failed, wouldn't mention it and just get them for you the next time you meet.

>So, uh, first off, I know we've been dating for a few months, but I need you to promise you won't judge me. Do you know what BPD is?

No. 2513879

People who tell you they don't like XYZ but kiss their ass when they talk to them. Or they say they hate their friends but they still hang out with them anyway. They will lie about you to other people or trick you into thinking you are special.
Also maybe this is a bit out there but people who find loopholes to things like agreements or rules and abuse them. If you tell them not to do XYZ and it's important to you they're gonna try their damnest to skirt around that.

Posts obsessively on Instagram. There's someone I know who does it literally every fucking day and I just can't help but wonder what she expects to get out of it. Who actually wants to see mundane pictures of what someone ate for lunch, or those dumbass nose-forehead pictures zoomers love posting for whatever reason.

No. 2514122

"Sorry it took me three weeks to respond to you anon, I'm just sooo overwhelmed ugh I suck at communication!!" as they have the mental capacity and time to live post their every thought on social media & engage with every one who comments.
