Hmmm… .let’s see.

• Have you experienced their life first hand? Then stumble across their Social media account? Big difference? Eh?
• Who accuses their partner of things that they are doing?
• They can not and will not accept responsibility for anything. I mean, they will, if it benefits them, but it won’t last long. And if it does, it will be minimized and justified to paint it as a “mistake.”
• Everything wrong in their life that happens is a direct result of someone else’s actions, not theirs.
• They give you the attention you crave when there is no one else.
• They really believe every new “person” is their “one!” It’s true. I experienced and witnessed it with others also.

• They talk about people they know, that knows someone, that knows Justin Bieber, but they are good friends. Even though they don’t know anyone, it’s someone they follow. But they know Justin Bieber. Are you following?
• They have not one, not two, not three, but multiple people on the hook “just in case” times get scarce, and they need a pick me up.
• They will make lies up and tell kids you don’t like them. When things discussed between adults shouldn’t be repeated to kids. But they want to look like the “saint” while distorting your reality, making you look like the devil that they are.
• They accuse you of a smear campaign when they have no idea what it is. But they do it so frequently; it’s second nature and a projection.

• They lie about the most mundane shit. You will be left scratching your head or…
