‘Someone once told me I have an annoying habit of interjecting myself into conversations with my own experiences of whatever thing they are discussing, rather than just listening. I’ve since made a conscious effort not to do that, and now I notice when others do so.

So hey, step back, listen and then if you have something to add do so when the other person has had their moment!’

‘Not being able to sustain a length of time without mindlessly being on their phone.’

‘Lying about things that don’t matter. To either one up someone or just for attention.

I have several examples but just off the top of my head I used to work with a woman that brought her dog to work (he was delightful, she was not). We’re all dog lovers and I was having a conversation with another coworker about foods that are toxic for dogs. Every food we mentioned (onions, garlic, grapes, coffee, etc) she chimed in to tell us she feeds those to her dog “all the time”. Umm no the fuck you do not. It was like that with her daily.’

‘Mean comments disguised as a “joke”’

‘People who only talk about themselves, and who pivot conversations to always be about them and their life.’

‘I’ve met people that I’ve almost instantly “clicked” with and you form a bond quickly – too quickly. You feel like something is off but you can’t put your finger on it, they may be new to your office, or class or whatever but suddenly seem to know everyone. They’re hanging out with people all over the place, crossing groups, friends, enemies, doesn’t matter. Everyone just loves them. Why? Because they show an interest in people and people love to feel seen.

Then they start to share little things here and there and you want to build trust and a deeper connection so you reflect that and share some things too. Until one day you realize they are “casually” dropping very private and personal things about other people in your conversation while asking things about you and it clicks that this person has boundary issues, is insecure and needs validation from everyone but doesn’t know how to be an actual friend. If they’re talking shit about others to you, they’re talking shit about you to others.’
