"How Crazy All Their Exes Are": 23 Things People Boast About Without Realizing It's A Major Red Flag About Them

When a professor brags about how many people have failed their class

Bragging about not knowing things.

Also, bragging about how little they sleep.

The people who instantly have a solution for everything.

Fat? Eat less. Addicted? Quit. Depressed? Smile more. Broke? Get a better job. Tired? Sleep more.

There is nuance to the issues of society. Major red flag if you're in your 20's or older and can't critically think.

They boast about how many drinks they can hold "and still drive home without a problem."

"Owning" or "Triggering" people: "I'm so difficult to get along with that I was able to annoy someone into an outburt with only a brief interraction." really isn't the flex some people think it is.

How crazy all their exes are

“I don’t have a filter.”

How much they work and how little they sleep. That's an unbalanced person and they're unlikely to have an idea of "success" that includes other people.

Men who can't talk to women like they're human beings and refer to them as "females"

Being "brutally honest" or "having no filter." This usually signals a severe lack of tact.

How much they “don’t care what other people think.”

If you have to constantly tell others and yourself “I don’t care,” you *totally* do, you just wish you didn’t.

Their "alpha" status. Their high standards.

I have a coworker who is kind of like the first one. She is generally a one-upper, and she has had a really hard life. But you can't talk about yourself for more than 30 seconds before she has a story about either how awesome she is, or how much harder than you she's had it. It's exhausting.

"I am (such a) a nice person".
If you have to point it out, it's probably not true.

Ah, the person at my job who bought up all the toilet paper during the pandemic so they could sell it to coworkers at an inflated price.

They can keep their Mercedes. I'd rather not be a monster.

How quickly they cut people out of their lives.

Sometimes it can be a good thing to cut people out of your life. There are definitely people who are toxic to you and you are better off without their influence or presence. But it should almost always be bittersweet to actually do this.

People who actually brag about this usually are people who refuse to accept personal fault, or to work on themselves at all.

Being "good at manipulation." Nuh-uh rule one of manipulation is to seem trustworthy

Their luxurious material possessions and lavish lifestyle despite using debt and not having the money to support such a lifestyle.

How much they identify with The Joker, Tommy Shelby, Tyler Durden, Jordan Belfort, or a number of other characters like that.
