00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about top 10 subtle signs someone might not be trustworthy.
00:15Trust connects us, but misplacing it can hurt emotionally, financially, and beyond.
00:20The problem, untrustworthy people usually hide in plain sight.
00:23They don't act like villains, they show subtle signs.
00:26Here's what to watch for, backed by research.
00:281. Their stories keep changing.
00:31If someone's stories about their job or past keep shifting, it might not be forgetfulness.
00:35Research shows liars struggle to stay consistent because lying takes mental effort.
00:40Though stress or trauma can also cause inconsistencies, repeated changes are worth noting.
00:452. They dodge personal questions.
00:47Constantly vague answers like, I don't remember, or quick topic changes can be red flags.
00:52Studies show evasiveness is often used to avoid getting caught in a lie.
00:563. They keep saying they're honest.
00:57When someone goes out of their way to say they're honest, especially unprompted, it might be a tactic to gain your trust, not a sign of integrity.
01:054. They're rude to people with less power.
01:07Watch how someone treats service staff or junior co-workers.
01:11Disrespect here often reflects deeper issues with empathy and character.
01:145. They break promises often.
01:16Missing deadlines, flaking on plans, or forgetting commitments repeatedly shows a lack of reliability.
01:21Research links broken promises to lower trust.
01:246. They flatter you too much, too soon.
01:27Over-the-top compliments, especially early on, might be a way to win you over and lower your guard.
01:32It's not always genuine praise.
01:347. They guilt-trip you.
01:36If you cared, you'd do this, sound familiar?
01:38Guilt-tripping is a manipulative tactic used to control emotions and shift responsibility onto you.
01:438. They're secretive in close relationships.
01:45Everyone deserves privacy, but hiding texts, being vague, or dodging questions in a close relationship might signal dishonesty, not just privacy.
01:539. They gossip constantly.
01:55If they share other people's secrets, they'll likely share yours too.
01:59Frequent gossiping shows weak boundaries and a lack of respect for confidentiality.
02:0310. Their values shift around others.
02:06If someone's morals change depending on who they're with, that's a red flag.
02:09Real integrity means staying consistent, even when it's inconvenient.
