Red flags are often obvious and you know when a partner is giving sus. However, did you know that there are certain red flags that are toxic traits which are silent?
You don't notice them because they're disguised as something else, so you mistaken it for something constructive or positive. They're not.
Here are 4 'quiet' red flags to take note of with your partner.
1. Withholding communication
There's no fighting when you fighting. No yelling, no arguing, no discussion, just silence. Many mistaken it as 'taking some space', when it's actually exercising control.
2. Subtle blame shifts
They're calm, collected, leaning towards accepting the blame and apologizing, however, they still manage to make you feel bad, and make it seem like a situation wouldn't have went down, if only you did/said this. No true accountability.
3. Retaining emotions
They don't say no, but you'll find yourself having to ask for time, attention, affection or even kindness.
4. The disguised guilt-tripping
Constantly asking you to see their POV even when you're not in the wrong, or silence, one-word replies and sighs as a response. Eventually, it is you who ends up apologizing.
So, put a finger down if this is your relationship. If you've got 2 or more fingers down...
