‘Identify the red flags!’

There are so many red flags around us that we somehow can’t identify. And afterwards we regret our decision of choosing the wrong person.

Red flags are not only in relationship status there are red flags in friendship too!

Friendship; the most crucial bond in our life. The relationship that we get to choose in our lives. Some of the friendships tend to be healthy and long living, and adorable. But some end in betrayal and toxicity with darams.

Some of the red flags in friendship are:

1. Jealousy and competition: This bond should be mutual there should not be any jealousy on seeing the other friend’s success. There should not be any type of competition and the urge to bring your friend down. There should be mutual support in the friendship for a healthy relationship.
2. Manipulation: In friendship there should not be any selfishness. Friends should not manipulate the other for his or her benefits. Manipulation can be in many ways such as gaslighting, guilt-tripping or making you do things that you are not comfortable with.
3. Lack of understanding: Any relationship can’t work out without understanding. Friends are the people with whom we can talk about whatever we feel without any hesitation. They have to understand it and not judge it.
4. Unresolved conflicts: Conflicts are common in every relationship but there should be healthy communication between them to solve it. There should not be any grudge or any other hate feelings between each other after the conflict. Importantly the trust should not be broken after the fight. The secrets should not be revealed or back bitching should not be done.
5. Respect and boundaries: In any relationship there should be the limits that one should not cross and one should not disrespect. Even after telling once and giving a limit to the relationship still they cross it then it’s a red flag.

Conclusion: Seeing these red flags if any one is around you like this then it’s ok to let go and prioritize yourself and surround yourself with the friends that cherish your success, and support you.
