15 types of people you should never get into a relationship with.


Hello! Hello! Hello!!!
Guess who's back with the relationship talk? Yep, moi. I've been itching to write about this topic(Types of people you should never get into a relationship with) for a while now.

What I'll be listing down shortly are what we call "Red flags."

What exactly are red flags?

Red flags can be seen as a cue, warning, alert; a sign or signal that something is wrong.
In reality, red flags are something to not be taken lightly because if you ignore them you'll regret later. 

Most times people kid themselves by saying stuffs like 'if you love someone these won't matter because they're just flaws and would probably fade after a while', these are lies, illusions they tell themselves maybe because they're scared of admiting the relationship is toxic.

In a world where we can't read the minds of others, it's often times hard to predict or know what someone else thinks/feels about us. As humans we are curious to know certain things especially when it comes to relationships. How then do you know someone who genuinely loves you and the type of person to get into a relationship with? 

That brings us into today's topic. In my opinion, if someone truly loves you they wouldn't make you doubt their feelings towards you each and everyday and why you chose them. 

Let me give you a list of fifteen people you should stay away from and never ever, ever get into a relationship/friendship with
(I guess I love lists a lot😅)

1. Stay away from a person who refuses to share their past with you.
Don't say it's a flaw or they're not just the kind to share stuffs, if there's no sign of him/her opening up, please run away) it'll be risky to indulge in a relationship with such persons and later find out some deadly secrets you might regret later in life. Don't forget, communication is key.

2. Stay away from a person who hurts you and blames you for making them do it.
These set of persons usually use sentences like;
"you asked for it" 
"You're just too sensitive."
"I did it because I'm madly in love with you"

3. Stay away from a person who constantly reminds you you're not their type or their dream partner. 
It's a sign they're not just into you, probably using you to while away time. I tell you, this set of person's are dangerous as they would quickly replace you when their dream partner comes around. 

4. Stay away from a partner who frequently shoves your insecurities to your face.
They always point out your flaws, use hurtful words and mask them as humour and compare you to others.
A perfect example is someone who frequently body shames his partner.

5. Stay away from people who wants to isolate you from your family/friends/loved ones.
Often because they feel jealous, scared or threatened.
When you have to ask for permission before speaking to them or doing things you love doing, it's a visible red flag.

6. Stay away from people who manipulates you by threathening to kill themselves if you leave. 
I get so mad when people say it's a sign of love. No it's not, I'd call that obsession. 

7. Stay away from partners who never want to commit but doesn't want you seeing someone else.
what exactly are you keeping me as, a trophy? Always find closure, ask questions, where is this leading to because assumption will get you nowhere. 

8. Stay away from partners who tell your secrets to others and don't respect your boundaries. 
In every relationship there should be some sort of privacy, this is bad especially when it isn't a character flaw instead an intentional behavior.

9. Stay away from desperate people.
Some persons despise being alone/lonely and they won't mind dating the next person that comes into their life, make sure you aren't a victim. 

10. Stay away from a person who doesn't put you among their top priorities. 
A scenario where you have to beg for attention/communication and time. Giving you silent treatment

11. Stay away, if they treat you different from the way they treat others.
If he/she treats you better, shows you respect and doesn't show others, is nicer to you and not to others, chances are they're pretending and trying to con you into falling in love with them. 

12. Stay away from a person who makes it glaring that they don't see you in their future. 
Here's a link if you'd like to get more information on this.👇

13. Stay away from a relationship where you can't be yourself.
where they always want you to act a certain way just to fit their taste. 

14. Stay away from a person who's only attracted to your physical appearance. 
The reason is because it's shallow. To make a long lasting relationship other attributes are supposed to be in check. Many couples who married for this purpose are living a meaningless and valueless life.

15. Stay away from a partner who treats you so bad in public and so good in private. 
And vice versa.

In conclusion, It's always advisable to take your time when embarking on a relationship to avoid unnecessary heartbreaks and traumas. Red flags should never be neglected, the matters of the heart are highly significant. You're responsible for your mental health❣️

Well, that's the end of today's blog post and I hope you enjoyed it. Tell me what you think about this post in the comment section.

  2. Nice topic. I love the quotes in between too. Very nice. Your writing style is so impressive.

    About the topic, I've always expressed a certain reservation because there so many principles about life in general and about love, relationships, marriage. And although they may all be proven in some parts of the world and for different people. They may not even work for everybody. Listening to everything often leads to contradictions or confusion some times. I've heard of unconventional ways (not found in any manual) in which some couples have been successful. Sometimes it's crazy.

    Not trying to take away anything from your article. I really agree with practically everything (nod of agreement), yh. I love Numbers 8, 9, 11,13 in particular.

    1. Thank you so much Shalom. You're right, trying to apply everything read in your life often leads to confusion which is why it is advisable to do what works for you because what works for someone might not necessarily work for you.

      Yes, number 8, 9, 11 and 13 are powerful key points. I'm glad you enjoyed it😘😘😘

  5. Remarkable and nicely articulated..
    Great article sure there is something to go on with..but as regards the first point, while i am not outrightly disputing the transparency of unfolding ones past, care must be taken in doing so. There are categories of circumstances we can't hide from our partners, we understand that. Some things, if no consequences as it affects the union is attached i feel it is rather kept unsaid. Not everyone can remain sane after reviewing some past lifes especially ones we are not proud of.

  6. Back then I tried fitting into people's taste by being a completely different person around them thinking they might find me weird and stop hanging out with me when they know the real me until I met someone and he made me realize I am actually super cool�� Rn, I'm way past that...and I love everything about this topic. It's really interesting and no doubt you're good( ps: you can't have me as a friend and you're a terrible writing ����) keep up the good work��

A bucket list of bad habits to quit.

It's been what, two weeks? Oh wow, I've missed you guys so much. A lot of things snatched my attention for a while but I'm here now, all yours😆 Well, I tried fitting everything in here as a single blog post but it got too lenghty and I know how lenghty posts can be a turn off so I decided to split it into parts. Now, some of these things might not seem like a bad habit to you but trust me they are. Bad habits are basically things we do that keeps us from being our best, not so? I'm not going to go on about habits like binge drinking alcohol, smoking and the rest, my major aim is to talk about those simple things we probably might not have noticed before or don't pay much attention to. Here's my bucket list of bad habits to quit. 1. Boasting and bragging about not reading. It might seem cool when you hear statements like "Me and book are not one o" or "I'm not a fan of reading" most times when we say stuffs like this in publ...

Phobias you might never have heard of.

Fear they say is uncontrollable. Every human being is afraid of something one way or the other. The root cause is mainly traced to one's childhood. Is fear really? uncontrollable You'll find out as you keep reading. Phobia is an irrational or obsessive fear or anxiety, usually of or about something particular. Phobia could range from fear of water, dolls, insects, clowns and even adults. Usually, the source of these fears poses little or no danger. The difference between normal fear and phobia is the degree of anxiety involved. In this post, I'll be showing you some phobias you might never have heard of. 1. Nomophobia 'No MObile PHOne phoBIA' (Fear of being without your mobile phone) This is a psychological condition where half of the population suffers from this. According to a survey sponsored by SecurEnvoy, statistics showed that young adults and adolescents are more likely to suffer from Nomophobia. The same survey showed that 77% of the teenage...

Is saying “Sorry” really enough?

Hello, it’s me again. I know, I know. I disappeared🥺 There’s no excuse whatsoever because I had so many opportunities to post here.  I’m sorry😂 just like my topic. Anyways, now on today's topic. Is saying “Sorry” really enough? Truth be told, the word “sorry” has been misused by a lot of persons, hence losing its value. Some people deliberately do whatever they wish to do and say anything because they know there’s a word like “sorry” hanging somewhere they can just yank off and present.  “Heck, I’ll just apologize later” they say. Some even go to the extreme by saying “At least I apologized, that’s his/her problem”  There are some wrongs you can right by saying a sincere apology like “I’m sorry” but when you deeply hurt someone, there are some steps you should follow when apologizing.  That’s why you hear questions like “what exactly are you sorry for. How do I know you’re not just saying sorry. How am I sure you’re not just going to do it again? You see the averag...

Signs you’re giving someone else power over your life

Hi and welcome to my blog.   As we all know, Nigeria is 61years old today. I’ll spare you the history as majority of us already know how we(Nigerians) Gained independence(Freedom) from the British empire on Oct 1st. I wanted my topic to sync with the independence theme so hence “Signs you’re giving someone else power over your life” Independence simply means the freedom from outside control or influence of others.  Do you allow people make you do things you ordinarily do not want to do, do you get pressured into making decisions, do you allow other people influence the way you feel, act or the things you say negatively? You may be giving them power over you. Let me quickly take you through some of these signs.   1. You find it difficult to set boundaries.  Perhaps you used to have certain rules and boundaries but somehow you no longer do, you just let anyone waltz in and out of your life, you give people the leverage over you on a platter of gold. You’re giving other...

There is "You" in Unique.

     "Tell me something you'd love to change about yourself" Avery asked me.      "Everything" I said.       "That's just so wrong. You can't think like that." She said with concern etched on her face.  Avery was just a year older than me but she spoke smartly and I couldn't help but envy her most of the time, sometimes I wished I was her. I  wished I had her hair, her clothings even down to her family.       "See Didi, if you don't love anything about yourself that's downright wickedness to yourself and our creator. Do you mean to say he made a mistake when_"      "Don't get me wrong Avery" I interrupted.      "I... I do like somethings about myself but_" I scoffed.       "But what?"      "They're kind of irrelevant"       "Tell me one thing atleast, Go on! Tell me the irrelevant things"      "w...

A letter to a younger version of myself

Hi and welcome to my blog. I’m super excited to write about this topic because it’s something I’ve always thought about and I’m sure you have too. We all remember our childhood memories, some great, some not so great and one way or the other we have tried to imagine what it would feel like to meet the younger version of ourselves, many of us wish we could turn back the hands of time to correct some silly things we did or just to make a different choice. I for one want to go back and yell “Don’t engage in those rough plays(to avoid the wounds on my knees, lol) but this is life, once a moment is gone, it is gone, all you’re left with are memories. A brief letter to a younger version of myself. I took out time to ask some of my friends about the topic above and here are some of their interesting messages. I observed, one of the major things we all want to tell a younger version of ourselves is to either quit doing something or start doing a thing. Majority of us would like to advice the m...

Is Birthday depression a thing?

With my birthday approaching, I just can’t help but talk about this. Yes, Birthday depression is a thing.   The feeling is not pleasant I must say,  It entails  feeling lonelier on a day you are meant to feel loved, cherished and appreciated ,   e specially when it appears  as t he only day you get noticed , feeling like a burden to your friends and family, feeling sad, underachieved, less enthusiastic as the days roll by, feeling anxious beforehand and on the day itself. Yes, that is birthday depression. It is certainly not a good feeling, honestly. Over the last decade, I think I have only really felt that birthday vibe twice and that was 2020 and 2021. It was like the first time I felt loved by a lot of persons and it felt so genuine, the thoughtful gifts I got, the heartfelt messages, calls and everything.  I honestly didn’t want the day to come to an end.    So why do birthdays come with so much anxiety/depression?   • Too much attention...

Here’s why self pity sucks

Hey you! It’s your favorite blogger. Ajiri aka Aj😉 I’ve asked several persons what they think self pity means. The truth is not everybody knows the difference. Most times we misunderstand the difference between sadness and self pity.   While sadness is normal and lasts for a short period of time, self pity is an excessive self absorbed unhappiness one feels over their own troubles. This type of sadness is exaggerated. For example, a person may feel terribly bad for their misfortune and instead of doing something to move forward or change their situation they would just feel so sorry for themselves, instead of getting up and being optimistic, they remain hopeless and blame other people or circumstances for what could be happening to them.   The number one reason why self pity sucks is because we never take responsibility for our actions. Someone or something is always the reason for a misfortune. It is never our fault, hence we do not deserve whatever has happened and yes, we ...

A must read before you check into 2021.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, no doubt. Merry Christmas in arrears Lovelies. I assure you I didn't run away, school and exams happened.😁 I had no plans of making a blog post until next year but I knew that was me procrastinating again, so here I am guys. During the week, I observed how negative people behave and I realized it robbed off on me in some ways. I found myself saying "This has got to be the ' dryest ' holiday." I asked myself why I loved this festive season so much as a kid. Was it because of the songs, the gifts, the mood of the festive period or just getting to see loved ones and spending time together? Hmm. There's no doubt how challenging this year was for everyone. The corona virus which was accompanied with a lockdown affected relationships, businesses and institutions. However, we came out stronger, better and that is enough to be grateful. The festive season is all about gratitude and expressing love.  I'll quickly take ...

New year, new plans?

Le t me start by saying merry Christmas in arrears. I’ve been super pumped about this holiday and I’m certain you’ve had a tremendous experience, yes? Anyways, it’s the season of giving and I’m so excited to be writing the last blog post for 2021. This is an amazing time of the year and I want to use this medium to say a very big thank you to everyone who has engaged in this space since I started. Y’all are the real MVPs😘   I honestly didn’t want to sound cliche, that’s why I’m not going to start going on and on about resetting and implementing new goals and plans which is a very great thing to do, don’t get me wrong. Instead I’m here to advise you to focus on using 2022 to continue that great goal could be a business, a skill etc that you’ve got going. Rather than changing course entirely, put more effort into whatever good stuff you’ve got going.  It should be a continuation rather than a reset . Most times a lot of us feel a new year should be about an entirely new thing w...
