When someone or something gives off good vibes, you can immediately tell: a field full of vibrant sunflowers, a home cooked meal with your closest friends, an album that makes you want to move and groove. On the other hand, when a person is radiating bad vibes, it can be easy to tell as well.
Below, you’ll find some of the subtle traits that are immediate signs of bad vibes that Reddit users have recently been sharing online. Take note of any of these behaviors to look out for, and be sure to upvote the ones that make you wary of certain people too.

How they treat/view animals.
Character is how you treat those who can do nothing for you!

When they try to push God on me and say that things happen because it's the plan from God and I am being strong for God and they will pray for me.
Just.... no. Don't f*****g do that s**t to me. Keep your religion to yourself.

When they don’t like cats. And I don’t mean like “oh I’m just a dog person” I mean like “a cat is just a moving speed bump” kind of person. It gives me “I don’t like relationships I can’t control” and “I don’t respect living things that exist beyond my control” vibes.

The way they view pets.
If they pick up a pet who'll live 60+ years (like some parrots) and then randomly say "lol I'll give it away/abandon/release in the wild" after the poor thing is attached? Big red flag.
Pets can't live properly on the streets/in the wild after domestication. For birds, they would need readaptation to wild settings. And pets can die from heartbreak/depression.

People who incessantly refer to you by name in a conversation. It comes across like some weird sales / cult strategy to engineer fake rapport.

When they’re far too pushy with questions and don’t leave you alone despite you making it super obvious that you don’t want to answer their questions.

When they don’t acknowledge that you held the door open for them. Not even a small smile or head nod.

Small lies. It can be anything. What they ate the night before, when they came home, their favorite color. The smaller the lie is, the more suspicious the person becomes to me.

They ask you something and start talking over you before you are done or before you even have a chance to start.
I know this can happen for someone who is ADHD or ASD, but those cases it's usually pretty easy to tell that they are just distracted or overexcited and not intentionally dismissive of you. The red flag is for someone who just genuinely does not give a s**t what your answer was going to be in the first place.
