Quotes About Red Flags In Life And Relationships
Red flags are warning signs that indicate potential problems or risks. This can be towards a situation, a job, a potential change or a relationship with others.
They can be small, seemingly innocuous things that you might not even notice at first.
What does having a ‘red flag’ mean?
A red flag is not a sign that you should immediately walk away from the situation.
It’s simply a warning sign that something might be wrong and that you should take a closer look. But if you see multiple red flags, it’s important to take them seriously and investigate further.
Some common red flags include:
- A company that doesn’t have a good reputation,
- A job offer (or any offer!) that seems too good to be true,
- A change that is happening too fast,
- A person who is overly controlling, demanding or continually plays ‘the victim’,
- A relationship that is based on power dynamics
If you see one or more of these red flags, it’s important to take a step back and assess the situation. If possible, talk to someone else about it to get their opinion.
The following quotes about red flags focus on those little warnings that may come up in relationships, those little nudges and feelings of intuition that you get sometimes in life.

Quotes About Red Flags In Relationships
“It’s rare for a toxic person to change their behavior. More often, the only thing that varies is their target and the blame they place. Because some toxic people are difficult to identify, keep in mind that a victim mindset is sometimes a red flag. So, listen when someone talks about their life and circumstances. If the list of people they blame is long… it’s probably only a matter of time before you’re on that list.” Steve Maraboli
