Trust is an easy thing to lose — and a difficult thing to earn. It is also hard when you lose trust in someone you thought could be trusted. It takes a lot to put faith in someone, and it hurts to find out you can’t put faith in everyone.
If you encounter a situation where you are questioning whether you can trust someone, the YouTube channel Interesting Psychology has the information you need.
Interesting Psychology shares a video describing seven signs that you can’t trust someone. These signs will help you notice the red flags early on and will allow you to not tarnish your mental health trying to understand that person’s motives.
I’m going to share a few of the signs that stood out to me the most!
The first sign: They are liars. This one is obvious, but it’s one that is overlooked more than it should be. Some people are very good at telling white lies and can get you to forgive them easily. Once you notice these white lies becoming a regular thing, you need to stand back and assess the relationship.
The second sign: They never confess. This one is huge. Have you ever caught someone in a lie or doing something they shouldn’t be doing, yet they deny everything and act like they did nothing wrong? That is a huge red flag. Interesting Psychology states, “If you lack hard evidence, they will never confess.”
The third sign: There is no communication. People who are untrustworthy don’t like to sit around and communicate, because it opens doors and makes them vulnerable. They don’t want to slip up and confess to their wrongdoings.
The fourth sign: They are selfish. If they want to do something and get to do it, they are happy and want you to be happy about it, too. Then when you want to do something and they don’t want to, they will refuse to go the extra mile. If it doesn’t benefit them in any way, they don’t want any part of it.
