Red Flags

What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.

All I can say is Prince Andrew must be desperate for friends if he is following me on Bluesky.
Sorry, Your Royal Highness, I’m not interested. Deleted

Not for one moment did I think this was the man himself.

For me a red flag is when someone start showing off their so-called wealth as though they are competing with others.

I don’t mean openly dragging about what they own but more about what they say and how they treat others around them.

I’m not impressed by titles, wealth or status but more interested in how someone carries themselves through life.

Have they worked hard for what they have? Some might inherited a fortune but to continue building the family farm or business they have to work hard to keep it afloat.

Money isn’t everything. Yes, I guess you are thinking ‘well, it’s already for her to say.’

I believe once you have found the right home, have food on the table, clothes on your back, and enough money to cover the daily cost of living you can live comfortably.

Too much money brings a whole set of other problems. The bigger the house or car the more it costs to run it.

We all need to count our blessings and remember we coming into the world with nothing and we leave with nothing. The good send off is we all hope for, while during the wake most people have already begun to move on and are enjoying themselves.

Arrogance, ignorance, manipulation and bitchiness are red flags to me. I tend to listening carefully to other people while they are talking. Do they interrupt others while they are talking?

Do they listen to what you are saying because they are interested, or are they more interested in talking themselves.

I can spot quite quickly when someone is really listening when I put forward my comments or thoughts in a conversation. I think if they are really interested they would encourage me to continue in my view point, if not I just shut up.

I’m far more interested in how others deal with what life throws at them. Do they stand up, brush themselves down and start again without moaning and complaining?

For me, my glass has always been half full rather than half empty. I’ve never longer for fame or fortune.

For me a good life is an stress-free one. As for Prince Andrew, his life hasn’t exactly been stress-free. Bet he wishes he had been born a commoner.
