I really dislike the current use of red flag. Seems it’s used for any personality trait one doesn’t like instead of being an actual red flag. I think people who freely use the term red flag are judgmental and thats a big…red flag…
What do you think red flag means other than incompatability? It’s not like the usage has changed, it’s always been meant to signify “I don’t like this about you”.
I don’t disagree with you about judgemental people overusing it, though. But that’s just judgemental behavior in general, I think you might just not like judgy people - which is fair.
I use to think a red flag was a telling sign that someone isn’t who they say they are, borderline psycho or have other underlying issues such as being abusive or manipulative.
I worded that poorly but I said it was a telling sign, like a warning. Maybe the person spreads rumors or compulsively lies. Granted, it’s always difficult to spot signs of true manipulators when you are the victim. But you’re probably right though, it might just be my interpretation.
Wow, that is what AI good for. Let me do it for you. Just type in the promt in chatgpt.com.

</span><span style="color:#323232;">There are several reasons why I cannot be contacted by phone, each stemming from a combination of personal preferences and practical considerations. While the ubiquity of smartphones and the convenience of instant communication may make this choice seem unusual, it's important to recognize the validity of differing communication preferences in today's interconnected world.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Firstly, privacy is a significant factor in my decision to limit phone contact. In an age where digital footprints can be extensive and far-reaching, maintaining a level of privacy is paramount to safeguarding personal information and boundaries. By minimizing phone communication, I mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data and maintain control over the dissemination of my personal contact details.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Secondly, productivity and focus play a crucial role in my daily routine. The constant barrage of notifications and interruptions inherent in phone communication can disrupt workflow and hinder concentration. By prioritizing alternative forms of communication such as email or messaging platforms, I can manage my time more effectively and allocate uninterrupted blocks for deep work and creative endeavors.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Furthermore, the impersonal nature of phone calls can sometimes lead to miscommunication or misunderstandings. Without the visual cues and context provided by face-to-face interactions, it's easier for messages to be misconstrued or tone to be misinterpreted over the phone. Written communication, on the other hand, allows for greater clarity and precision in conveying thoughts and ideas, reducing the likelihood of communication breakdowns.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Additionally, environmental considerations influence my choice to limit phone contact. The pervasive use of mobile devices has contributed to the proliferation of electronic waste and the depletion of finite resources. By minimizing phone usage, I aim to lessen my ecological footprint and promote sustainable consumption practices. Choosing to communicate primarily through digital channels also reduces reliance on paper-based communication methods, further aligning with eco-friendly principles.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Moreover, prioritizing asynchronous communication channels aligns with the increasingly global and interconnected nature of modern society. With individuals and teams spanning different time zones and schedules, synchronous communication via phone calls can be challenging to coordinate and may not always be conducive to effective collaboration. Embracing asynchronous communication allows for greater flexibility and accommodates diverse schedules and preferences without sacrificing productivity or efficiency.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">In conclusion, while phone communication undoubtedly serves as a valuable tool for connecting with others, it's important to recognize that it may not be the most suitable or preferred mode of communication for everyone. By prioritizing privacy, productivity, clarity, environmental sustainability, and global collaboration, I have chosen to limit phone contact in favor of alternative communication channels that better align with my personal values and objectives.

I met the new intern who’s going to deal with my meds prescriptions for the next 6 months, omg she’s so cute it hurts. So here I am, explaining to her everything that is wrong with and why I’m a train wreck… It hurts
That’s how I got into the majority of my relationships! I realized that I had like no game whatsoever and I just stopped trying, and weirdly enough that seemed to work okay.
The key here is that people can practically smell strong emotions like anger, hunger, fear, anxiety, and lust. Free yourself from those - basically run out of fucks - and you can pass for someone that just oozes strength and confidence.
You underestimate my ability to mask. It’s literally been automatic for me as long as I can remember. Find the person I like most within 5 minutes, and immediately cling to their style of humor and behavior. Then I stand in the circle and don’t speak unless spoken to. Then everyone just assumes I’m a giant teddy bear and don’t mind my company.
That’s what I did when I moved where I am now. Worked within a couple of weeks. A few weeks later my drunken bombastic personality came out one night and we’ve all been friends ever since.
I feel that there is an underlying moral problem in society that causes the rich to always exploit the poor. It feels like if you were to shuffle people around and pick a new set of rich people, said people would be almost equally likely to screw over their fellow man. If society was more moral in general, this exploitation would be reduced.
I’d say it would parallel the results from the Stanford Prison experiment. Give one group of people everything, including the power to decide what happens to people in the out-group, and they will inevitably become hostile towards the out group.
Morality schmorality, we need universal healthcare, daycare, a progressive tax system, and much more. Once society is equitable to all, then all have equal opportunity to behave “morally.”
“Red Flag” is a term assigned to events that are foreboding of terrible consequences, such as a man who talks a lot about his ex and collects firearms or a woman who lacks empathy towards others and drinks cinnamon whiskey.
The meme therefor translates as:
“When you find a nice good person who is dateable but you yourself have become the problematic person in the potential relationship.”
Personally, I found that it’s all too easy to mistake a differently shaped pool for a kiddie pool. Most of them are as hot as they are, because they’ve got some deep cuts, always thinking of themselves as ugly. Most will also have stories of sexual harassment to tell.
Doing all the sports, makeup etc. does bind time, which they cannot spend pursuing interests that you share. And if you dismiss them for that reason, then of course, they will never tell of their darkest waters, which will make them look all the more like a kiddie pool.
I didn’t mean to dismiss good looking people with great personalities. Sure, sometimes their interests don’t line up with mine or they may be interested in things commonly viewed as basic but that doesn’t dismiss the complexity of their character and I didn’t mean to insinuate as such. I’ve just noticed a trend of people who think that their looks will take them everywhere in life and have willful ignorance towards the intricacies of life
Oh I may not meet those people. I tend to find those who’ve got where I’m going tend to have a thought or two in their head. Maybe it’s an odd one, but it’s there.
