The world consists of all kinds.
I don’t believe in inherently bad people, but I realize there is a lot of bad behavior out there.
Unfortunately, this means we must tread very carefully when letting some people into our hearts and lives.
There are some types of people you should never trust.
Let’s take a look at them…
1) people who do not have self-awareness
I should put this first on the list, and here’s why:
To a greater extent, all our ability to personal development depends on our ability to see ourselves clearly and objectively.
I don’t care who you are, each of us is flawed in some way. This means that we will all benefit from growth.
When a person completely lacks self-awareness, he is unable to reflect on his behavior.
They do not stop asking themselves how they can influence those around them.
They are often oblivious to their shortcomings and failures. But even worse, they are not open to correcting this.
They remain prisoners of their ignorance.
I have let go of people from my life in the past who it has become clear that they lack any self-awareness. Because, unfortunately, you are wasting your breath.
No matter what you say or the strategies you are trying to reach, they are unable to hear you.
Even a person who has shown himself untrustworthy in the past still can change.
The tiger can change its spots.
But only if they can see the error of their ways and want to do things differently next time.
Without self-awareness, it is unlikely to happen at all.
2) magicians
I’ve always been wary of nice talkers in life.
I know that part of this is because I grew up in a very sharp and straight-talking family.
We never really dished out cuddly-duffy mushy stuff. Flattery also did not flow freely among all of us.
But I’ve also been kind of happy about it.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s really important to show our appreciation and affection and let people know how we feel about them.
But I’m talking about those types of people who are more than that.
They shower you with affection and warm words, so much so that it smacks of hypocrisy.
It usually sounds too good to be true, because it is.
No one is sweet, sick, and kind all the time.
If they present themselves in this way, then I don’t buy it.
It shows that they are hiding aspects of themselves. We all have a shadow side after all.
Very often flattery is used by people who are trying to make their way into your good books.
It is a manipulation tactic that we must pay attention to.
If someone comes on strong with charm, there is a name for it:
Love.
You have to ask yourself, What do they want?
Much like the next type of person on our list, they are probably full of shit.
3) counterfeiters
If you are not seeing the real person, how can you create a real relationship with them?
I get it, we can all show our best side, especially when we get to know someone.
But when someone does it in such a way that distorts who they are, it is impossible to trust them.
No one is perfect, and we shouldn’t be. But we have to be weak enough to let people see the good and the bad in the US.
If someone doesn’t, then they’re faking it eventually.
My friendships are a real mix of personalities. That’s because the only thing I value above all is simply a real person.
They can come in all kinds of packages.
I often joke that I don’t care if someone can be a little fool, as long as he is an honest Fool.
It’s easier to trust someone when what you see is what you get.
4) people who smear everyone behind their backs
Can we be honest?
Who among us hasn’t said something unkind about another person when he wasn’t there?
I’m guessing not many.
Let’s face it, gossip and the so-called “moaning” happen.
Frustration can mount and before you know it, you’re venting to someone else about it.
Whether it’s that ” lazy “coworker at work who doesn’t pull his weight, your” nagging mom “who won’t cut you some slack, or that” unstable ” guy you just started dating.
Most of us can be guilty from time to time. But deep down, we also know that maybe it’s a mistake.
If we have a problem with someone, we should talk directly with him about it.
But some people do this kind of thing on repeat.
They seem to have negative things to say about everyone in their life.
Unfortunately, it is often a reflection of some deep insecurities within them.
But if someone says cruel and nasty things about their friends, family, and closest relationships can you trust them?!
They won’t have a problem throwing us under the bus either.
It is our inner circle that should have our back the most, and yet these types of people constantly betray them by the things they say.
5) ” yes ” people who agree with everything you say
Who are these people under? What do they believe? How do they feel? What do they think?
The problem is that you will never know.
Maybe they don’t even know.
These types of people are often very picky about people. At some point, they were allowed to seek validation and approval from others.
I understand that we all want to be loved. But this should never be at the expense of having your personality.
Otherwise, it becomes just another form of forgery.
You can’t trust a person who is unable to tell you the truth and says only what he thinks you want to hear.
6) people who stand for nothing
They don’t have any particular beliefs, thoughts, ideas, opinions, or principles, unfortunately either.
As long as life is going satisfactorily cyclic for them, that’s all they care about.
They will not put themselves on the line for anything.
They do not speak out against infractions.
They are not ready to bother with their lives to do the right thing. However, they are ready to conquer others if it benefits them.
These types of people are selfish and weak.

Do not expect them to ever have your back, because they prefer to “stay out of it”.
In life, we have to stand up for something or we end up standing up for nothing.
Without being melodramatic, as the famous quote says:
“The only thing necessary for the victory of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
7) unkind people who are unable to empathize
Altruism is not just something we learn, it can be a solid instinct in the US according to research.
Our survival was based on our ability to cooperate.
Caring for each other depends on giving a damn about your fellow man.
I recently read a quote that seems very true to me:
“When I was little, I admired smart people. Now that I’m older, I admire good people.”
Genuine empathy and the ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes are crucial elements that foster trust, understanding, and deeper bonds between us.
Kindness is the best guarantee of decency in a person. But Hearts without kindness Harden.
Unfortunately, people who close in on themselves in this way are more likely to end up doing cruel and ugly things to others.
So you should very carefully step around them.
8) fair-weather friend
To have trust, we need depth in the relationship too.
Shallow connections simply do not make the row.
Fair-weather friends only exist when times are good but disappear when you need them most.
Trusting these types of people can make you feel abandoned and unsupported.
You may not realize until it’s too late that you have one of these types in your life.
But there are some red flags to watch out for along the way:
They usually have hundreds of acquaintances who refer to them as friends, and they move from one to another.
You will most likely find that they are unreliable, flaky, and inconsistent in their actions.
They come to you only when they need something, and they have no problem ordering one service after another — even if it drives you out.
In the end, they will do something (or do nothing!) This highlights their lack of loyalty or genuine care for your well-being.
9) people who eat only one piece of chocolate and return the rest of the bar to save for later
Seriously, what is this?
It can’t just be me who is greedy.
No, they should be not human.
Most likely they are some kind of lizards from another planet who are trying to infiltrate our species.
Don’t trust them.
Look at the good in people, but don’t be blind to the bad
I think it’s important to give people the benefit of the doubt.
Otherwise, there is a risk of becoming too cynical and sloppy in the process.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to go around expecting the worst from everyone I meet. This seems like a very lonely way to live.
But there is a balance to be struck.
When it comes to trusting others, we need healthy boundaries and a bit of realism too.
This way we can openly embrace each other, but still protect ourselves from people who do not have our best interests at heart.
