2. They Make You Feel⦠Strange
Bad people ā AKA those who donāt have your best interests at heart ā can give off some mighty weird vibes. It can be so strong, in fact, that your intuition kicks in and tells you to GTFO. āIf something feels off or if a āfriendā makes you feel uncomfortable, trust your gut⦠Intuition is a powerful force that should never be ignored,ā said Michele Corvi on HuffingtonPost.com. I couldnāt agree more.
3. They Are Mean To Animals
Anyone who is mean to animals sucks. Thereās no doubt about that. But did you know that itās almost always a predictor of deeper issues? āSince the 1970s, research has consistently reported childhood cruelty to animals as the first warning sign of later delinquency, violence, and criminal behavior,ā noted Joni E. Johnston, Psy.D., on Psychology Today. Whether the cruelty happened 30 years ago, or five minutes ago, take it as a clear sign that this person is bad news.
4. They Use Humor To Insult You
Thereās nothing funny about being a complete jerk, and yet jerks tend to use humor to knock others down. Think of the classic movie bully who gets the whole school laughing by making someone the brunt of a joke. Not cool.

But evil types take their lying to the next level, and even engage in some expert lying tactics. They might, for example, be super truthful as a way of building peopleās trust. Then theyāll unleash some lies when trying to get their way, according to Jeff Wise on Psychology Today. How incredibly manipulative.

Speaking of which, manipulation is another good sign that someone aināt great. And again, these people are very good at what they do. āManipulators often voice assumptions about your intentions or beliefs and then react to them as if they were true in order to justify their feelings or actions, all the while denying what you say in the conversation,ā said Darlene Lancer, JD, MFT, on PsychCentral.com. See what I mean? Someone who stoops to those levels is obviously not worth being around.
7. They Belittle Your Fears
Keep an eye out for people who turn your worries into a joke. āIf you need a little comfort because youāre worried about getting a job or think your best friend is mad at you, [they] shouldnāt be mocking your concerns,ā said Elise Williams on EliteDaily.com. And yet ā you guessed it ā crappy people probably will.
