Here's 5 red flags to consider when dating:
💓Lovebombing: Although it can feel exciting or romantic, giving you excessive love, compliments, gifts, affection from a very early stage of the relationship, can be dangerous and lead to control.
🗣️Negging: When people try to make you feel bad about yourself so you lose confidence. This often looks like flirting but is a form of manipulation to try and make you prove yourself to them or seek their approval and give them lots of attention.
🍞Breadcrumbing: Breadcrumbing is when someone offers you the bare minimum of attention and effort, so you stick around and stay interested in them and they have you as a back-up.
💨Gaslighting: If someone makes you question what happened, how you feel or how you interpreted a situation, this is known as gaslighting. It can be difficult to spot gaslighting as the gaslighter will make you feel that you were in the wrong and not them.
🐍Jealousy: It is normal in all relationships, there’s no escaping it and it’s often a sign that you care about that person. But when someone takes out their jealousy on you and makes it your problem then it becomes unhealthy and toxic.
