- They only talk about themselves. Rarely about you. Never about growth.
- They want you to pay them complete attention, and if you don’t, taunts don’t stop. But attention from their side is non-existent.
- They never think of learning as a process. They are the best who they are.
- Emotional outage (anger, frustration, tears, blackmailing) coupled with lack of listening is an ongoing pattern.
- They think they have all the problems in the world.
- They have zero empathy for someone else’s situation, not even their worst situation.
- Easy to point out your flaws. All of the time. Absolute resistance to talk about their flaws. Invariably all of the time.
- They think talking about what others lack will magically transform that person. Rarely understand love and acceptance.
- Easily offended. Almost waiting to.
- They think you owe them their time. Without them asking for your availability. 🙁
- They are happy at your achievements, but still subconsciously consider you a nobody
- They don’t know they are going through all of this.
While you must always be surrounded by people who uplift you, if there is a blood relation that you cannot sever, maybe it is time to reconsider how to stay away from them.
