One Red Flag to look for is someone who draws you into a friendship with a hidden agenda that you don't figure out until it's too late.
It's slowly drowning in their mindset. It's telling them secrets at midnight. It's them taking away your uniqueness. It's holding your tongue when you want to question everything.
Two Red Flags to look for is someone who makes you feel seen but not listened to. It's explain yourself repeatedly. It's gazing into their eyes and thinking that they care about you when your chest warms up. It's having the thrills of good feelings and thinking they are a good friend when it's not equal efforts. It's begging for attention when you shouldn't.
Three Red Flags to look for is someone makes you play mind games.
It's showing them how devoted you are to the friendship and them dismissing it as a thoughtful gift. It's coming out to them and them rejecting you. It's them not understanding any of your thoughts and having your heart sink.
Four Red Flags to look for is someone who put up walls between you and them until there is nothing left to hold the friendship together.
