    When they talk to you and look over your shoulder, avoiding any eye contact.
    When they do name dropping trying to impress you.
    When they run a charitable foundation for children, and you google their name and 2nd result has “assault” and arrest and “Charged with kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon”.
    All this in one person that is trying to sell me a house as a realtor… nice try dude.

    When you point out injustice and they say, “Let’s not get political,”…,,, It’s a cop out to say you are okay justifying hurting a group of people based on your shitty beliefs.

    Saying, “If I’m being honest”, “to be honest”, or “honestly”….. so what you’re saying is you’re a liar?!

    Anyone who goes on about how much of an empath they are. In my experience people like this are the least empathetic people you will ever meet.

    Well I go off of instinct. One of my biggest red flags are folks that crush your hand when they go to shake it. Normal, respectful people, let you get a grip before the squeeze. Control freaks and power freaks tend to try crushing your hand the second you extend it.

    Calling people “buddy.”

    Being a “pacifist” or having an “easy going no bad vibes” persona. I’ve met multiple people like this who were actually assholes deep down. My father included.

    My smile is lopsided, probably because I had an unusual case of Bell’s palsy in my 20s that never totally went away. It puts some people off because that’s body language for “not trustworthy.”

    There are a few tell-tale signs of a narcissistic person, if you find you you can confirm with other signs :

    I will call them a narc

    The people closest to a narc – their opinion doesn’t matter if they are family. But the closest inner circle – that’s a law.

    They can give a super honest opinion about some thing ( without an iota of empathy) – ex : this food is shit.
    The honesty never visible , when it’s a great dish or a great job

    A narc just wants to win,winning is the objective. Narc can kiss ass or burn the world down – if that’s what it takes but can’t take a loss. He will not engage with the person he lost, he will deny to death – he can’t take an L

    They are the best for a company – the ceo, cto, coo, cia … All are narcs. That’s how they get there. They can work very well for a company bottom line. They sure don’t have an ounce of good faith though. It’s all smoke

    Smile. Their eyes are “half” smiling while their mouth is cracking a smirk rather than a genuine smile. Fake niceness that comes with that mask, implying there are definitely some kind of hidden agenda.

  43. knightfire098 Avatar

    When someone makes sure to tell people “I don’t judge.”

  44. 123-Moondance Avatar

    People who are narcissistic and think they are the smartest, the best, the prettiest, etc. Most things are subjective. And unless you have won the Olympics or have attained world fame, I seriously doubt you are actually the “best.” And even then, there is probably someone better.

    Ok so I live in a town just outside of Québec City, where folks be… I dunno.. in Canada. Now don’t get me wrong – I collect flags but, hell, if the only flag you are flying in your front yard of all places – especially in these awkward times, is the Star-Spangled Banner, as opposed to the Maple Leaf, letalone the Fleurdelisé… I get some serious MAGA vibes. No cap! Not exactly a common practice this side of the border, believe you me.

    i’m admittedly a grumpy introvert that rather be alone or with my SO than around people but here’s some of many things that gives me bad vibes…

    -making your political stance your whole identity -bathing with only your hands and soap
    -having to post every single thing you do to social media
    -people that expect traditionalism in a relationship dynamic but gets offended when you ask for it back
    -attempting to fish for compliments by complaining about how unattractive you are even though you believe otherwise
    -complaining about your weight and/or love life even though you’re not actively trying to do anything to improve either
    -inviting company over knowing you have a disgusting bathroom and/or no clean dishes
    -making last minute plans with me and expecting me to be ready within the next thirty minutes to an hour (i’m just a girl 🥺)
    -not valuing your friendships but taking any and every piece of abuse from your significant other

    I’ve always judged people if they immediately launch in to their work personality. Hard to see someone if their entire game is the rat race, feel extremely outside to me if the only thing they are able to talk about in life is what work makes them. Not a whole lot of trust there in a lot of times in which they’re able to see past face value. 

    I don’t mind some work talk don’t get me wrong, but if it’s everything for you jeez I just assume you love money or lack an actual identity of your own

    When they complain about someone just doing their service industry job. Or someone who brags about their masculinity and gets into pissing contests

  70. ContraryMystic Avatar

    People who always have an answer.

    Any topic that comes up in discussion, they immediately open their mouth and spout off the first thing that comes to their minds as if it’s a fact.

    People who aren’t capable of saying “I don’t know” and who always have to have an answer for everything even when they obviously don’t know what the hell they’re talking about seem to often be the same people who aren’t ever willing to admit that they were wrong about something and who get aggressive when someone disagrees with them.

  72. Any_Field_8184 Avatar

    Overly charismatic people, they can manipulate you without you realising it and make you believe what they want by lying very, very well

  73. Unique-Engineering49 Avatar

    When someone starts small talk by overexplaining a topic they find fascinating, except its a topic I happen to know a lot about but they ignore me if I say I’m already familiar. 

    One of many real examples: they’re monologuing about a medical condition they heard about and found fascinating, I’m diagnosed with that condition and interject to say that, and then they just… keep explaining the condition in great detail as if I’ve never heard of it. That’s not a conversation. That’s someone who likes to listen to themselves talk.

  85. ds2316476 Avatar

    When I hand someone something and they grab it out of my hand very fast and unnecessarily urgent, like in a greedy way.

    When I do something silly and a random person will give me a “death stare”, the equivalent of when someone hisses and acts like a vampire. I literally would prefer to throw these autistic, cringe people down a bottomless pit.

  86. Madame_Kitsune98 Avatar

    People who tell me about their crazy ex, crazy neighbors, or crazy family, or all three, when I just met them and didn’t ask.

    One, I didn’t ask. Two, you are not always the victim in every situation.

    You start that up? I know everything I need to know about you, and I’m ghosting you.

  88. the_unkola_nut Avatar

    When a person says they hate an animal. I feel like hate is such a strong word and I can’t fathom how anyone can hate animals.

    I understand if you prefer a dog over a cat as a pet, but saying you hate cats is going too far, imo. And the same in reverse; saying you hate dogs is also terrible.
