When you're used to putting others first, it's easy to focus on whether someone likes you rather than asking yourself if you actually like them. 

Red flags are warning signs that a relationship might be unhealthy. Some are obvious, like abuse or toxic behavior, but others are personal, based on your personal values. For example, if you enjoy spending time camping and being outdoors, being with someone who doesn't like outdoor picnics might cause some long-term frustration. Many people ignore red flags, hoping the other person will change, but that only leads to resentment. Instead of being in love with who someone could be, it’s important to accept who they are and decide if that’s what you really want.

Green flags, on the other hand, show that a relationship is healthy. These include things like respect, honesty, consistency, and emotional intelligence. A good partner or friend supports your growth, respects your boundaries, and communicates openly. It’s not enough to just avoid red flags—you also need to look for green flags that show true compatibility. Identify your personal green flags, like shared values, hobbies, or life goals, so you can find relationships that truly align with what you want.

By getting clear on your red and green flags, you can avoid settling for relationships that don’t serve you. Instead, you’ll make space for people who respect, support, and appreciate you. Whether in romantic relationships or friendships, the key is to surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you.
