Alexandra Niel lists five relationship red flags: feeling pressured to change your core self for approval, controlling behavior, belittling or invalidating you, refusing to acknowledge faults, and lying or withholding information.
What is the number one red flag in relationships? Constantly feeling like you have to change who you are at your core to be approved. If he doesn't honor your authentic self and he tries to make you into somebody that you're not, that's a big red flag. Here are 4 other red flags to watch out for. The first one is that he tries to control you, what you do, who you do it with, when you go, when you come, Everything. Number 2, he doesn't take you seriously. He criticizes you, he belittles you, he invalidates your feelings. Number 3, he refuses to acknowledge that he's not perfect, he's got shortcomings, and he makes mistakes. And number 4, he lies or withholds information or even holds your feelings hostage.
