  • 41.The TOP red flags for relationships in our 20s.
    Sep 17 2024

    Hi dear listeners, welcome back to the Unfiltered, No BS Psychology Podcast. Today's episode features a one-on-one conversation about red flags for relationships in our 20s. The red flags you notice at the beginning are the reason you'll most likely exit the relationship later—or they'll be the reason you’re deeply unhappy in a relationship. To try and save your time and avoid pain after a toxic breakup, we will be discussing common and uncommon behaviors that you should be aware of, even if they are not deal-breakers for you. Then, we will look back at your childhood to see why you or your partner might be developing certain traits that evolve into toxic behavior later in life. We will also explore why you might be blind to or even attracted to red flags in your potential partners and see how we can break that pattern. People don’t change, and I’ve noticed that my gut was always telling me to run before diving deeper into a situation with someone… Yet you just ignored it. Let's dive in.
