Trusting someone is an important aspect of building relationships, but it's also crucial to be cautious and recognize potential signs that may indicate a lack of trustworthiness.
While some signs may be obvious, there are also subtle or unobvious indicators that you shouldn't fully trust a person, reports the ADVICE.NEWS portal.
Here are some of these signs.
Inconsistent Behavior
If a person's actions, words, and behaviors frequently contradict each other or change drastically over time, it could indicate a lack of authenticity or sincerity.
Gossiping and Negative Talk
If someone consistently gossips about others or engages in negative talk behind people's backs, they may also talk negatively about you when you're not around.
Selective Disclosure
A person who shares personal information selectively, revealing only what benefits them or supports their agenda, may not be completely trustworthy.
Exaggeration and Dramatization
Individuals who frequently exaggerate their accomplishments, experiences, or stories may lack credibility and could be manipulating the truth.
Flattery and Manipulation
Excessive flattery, compliments, or attempts to manipulate your feelings can be signs that someone is trying to gain your trust for their own benefit.
Unwillingness to Compromise
A person who consistently insists on having their way without considering others' perspectives may not prioritize mutual trust and respect.
Breaking Promises
Repeatedly failing to follow through on commitments or promises can erode trust and reliability.
Ignoring Boundaries
If someone consistently disregards your boundaries, personal space, or preferences, it may indicate a lack of respect and consideration for your feelings.
