Red flag would be those that describe themselves as "Humble", more a "Look At Me!" mentality. Same with Alphas...same with people who say they don't cry...and those that say they cry ALL the time!
@SarahTheHooker I know, right? So humble if he does say so himself.

Victim mentality. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me.
It's such a useless outlook. All it does is absolve one of accountability in their own mind, but it doesn't change what one is responsible for in reality.
Even if it isn't your fault, you still have to fix it. Life is unfair that way. So might as well get busy.
@SW-User I find it's kind of a red flag when people go on about victim mentality, though, because maybe I'm talking about something that's endemic to modern society that we need to do something about, and what I'm doing for myself is raising awareness so that more people will be outraged.

@LordShadowfire well acknowledging a wrongdoing, be it systemic or otherwise, and having a victim mentality are two different things.
Basically if the explanation ends with "and thats why there's nothing I can do" then that's victim mentality and thats where you lose me.
People who always need to argue and passionately oppose you whatever you say. Even the smallest things. Always tell you that you're wrong about everything.
Overly defensive people who get offended easily, make scenes, try to portray people as villains while playing the victim and make you feel like you constantly need to walk on eggshells. I mean like even asking why they are vegetarian or have a piercing sends them on a 10 minute long defensive rant.
People who I find cold and unemotional and never seem interested in interacting with me at all. Whenever I talk to them they make me feel like I bother them.
People who find joy in playing head games, deceiving, teasing, bullying and pranking others.
People who drone on about themselves but never listen to others and talk over them.
Caustic, cynical, sarcastic, bitter people who are never satisfied with anything. Often goes hand in hand with condescending and patronizing.
@CrazyMusicLover If those are "typically people you stay away from", how would you know if any of them are like that unless you somehow attracted them to you in the first place, at which point only then could they reveal those otherwise hidden details about themselves?
@CrazyMusicLover No, we don't go to school where I come from ..and I stayed at home and helped my dad on the farm and never worked with any outsiders, unless you consider barnyard animals "co-workers"?
