When someone or something gives off good vibes, you can immediately tell: a field full of vibrant sunflowers, a home cooked meal with your closest friends, an album that makes you want to move and groove. On the other hand, when a person is radiating bad vibes, it can be easy to tell as well.

Below, you’ll find some of the subtle traits that are immediate signs of bad vibes that Reddit users have recently been sharing online. Take note of any of these behaviors to look out for, and be sure to upvote the ones that make you wary of certain people too.

“What's Something Subtle That Instantly Gives You Bad Vibes About Someone?” (40 Answers) When they don’t like cats. And I don’t mean like “oh I’m just a dog person” I mean like “a cat is just a moving speed bump” kind of person. It gives me “I don’t like relationships I can’t control” and “I don’t respect living things that exist beyond my control” vibes.

I'm a dog person, but I love cats so much. But my love of dogs is immesurable. But I love cats so much that nobody here can comprehend how much. It's just that dogs are... well dogs are just YES YES YES YES YES. And cats are also YES YES YES YES YES but dogs are like, one YES more.

Has anybody ever noticed how it seems to be perfectly socially acceptable to loudly state: 'I hate cats', but if anybody said 'I hate dogs' they move very close to being crucified (especially on the internet)? (Both are extremely s****y things to say btw., statements just for clarification). Case in point: Movies. Killing or hurting cats is played as an acceptable plot point, even for comedy - throwing them out of a window (Grand Budapest Hotel), using them as a hackysack (Zohan)... no car accident off-camera without a cat's scream of pain. On the other hand, there are even full websites dedicated to the question 'Does the dog die?' and a verrrry successful movie franchise about someone taking revenge on basically the whole world for killing their dog (John Wick). Double standard much?

Well, there are a couple of movies crossed off my list. I don't like ANY animal being killed just for some stupid plot device. Thank you. My dogs should actually be very grateful to the John Wick franchise!! The virtually constant shooting helps to cover up the fireworks that are overused come November in the UK which they both dislike.

When I was sn ignorant young person I hated cats because I had been brought up around dogs and just could not conceive of a cat being loving or affectionate.as a level 7 crazy cat person,now, I cringe so hard remembering things I used to say.in conclusion, some cat-haters are just ignorant.it doesn't excuse nasty comments but they are not necessarily lost causes.

I get that. Pressure to fit into a box of some kind (dog person, cat person, political party, sports team) often makes a person pick up on phrases often repeated by the group. "Cats are just speed bumps" is definitely a die-hard dog person rhetoric, whether it's actually something they'd do or not. It's always cringe to remember sentiments we've blindly regurgitated without actually believing, and we've all done it.

That is so true! As a new mom to both a puppy and kitten, the initial cat proofing is a bit harder because it's not just from the chair rail down, but litter boxes are so much easier than puppy training. Cats are way easier, because in a lot of ways, they are better at being self sufficient. Obviously they still need food, water, love, and play, but it's like the difference between having a toddler (dog) and an eight year old (cat). At least that's been my experience.

I mean, cruelty to animals is actually a clinical diagnostic criteria for Conduct Disorder (essentially the childhood version of Antisocial Personality Disorder). It's okay to have an opinion on a favorite or least favorite animal, but wishing them harm is a yellow flag for potentially something more. So yes, if someone brags about disliking an animal that much, I'm definitely instantly suspicious.

I love all animals, even the dangerous and the icky ones. I may not want to pet them all, and the vast majority of the dangerous/icky ones I can actually peacefully coexist with as long as we leave each other strictly alone. I wish everyone could have respect for animals, whether domesticated or wild. They have purpose, they have feelings, they develop strong relationships, they may not be very demonstrative about it, but they have enough self-awareness to have a structure to their societies.

I'm still a dog person, but that I married that cat lover, and we've got two rescues now that are wonderful cats that I love. I'm not their human, but they will come sit on my lap and purr when I pet them. I regret the way I felt about cats now.

“What's Something Subtle That Instantly Gives You Bad Vibes About Someone?” (40 Answers) The way they view pets.

If they pick up a pet who'll live 60+ years (like some parrots) and then randomly say "lol I'll give it away/abandon/release in the wild" after the poor thing is attached? Big red flag.

Pets can't live properly on the streets/in the wild after domestication. For birds, they would need readaptation to wild settings. And pets can die from heartbreak/depression.

The red flag is for someone who just genuinely does not give a s**t what your answer was going to be in the first place.

“What's Something Subtle That Instantly Gives You Bad Vibes About Someone?” (40 Answers) The way they treat, or talk about, pets or animals is a good way to judge character.

And another is how they treat their belongings.
Example: Knew a guy who wouldn’t hang up his jacket. Just drop it on the floor or some furniture.
Same with his phone and stuff, he’d have a new phone every week because he kept dropping it or casually throwing it onto tables.

The disregard for the value of things just bugged me.
If you don’t value your own stuff, how can you value other people’s belongings. Ya know?

Oh gosh, I have trouble knowing what the boundaries of conversation are sometimes and I tend to overshare. (I have less trouble in my native language, English.) I think part of me just wants to shock some Germans, who are usually a lot more formal until you get to know them.

How they react to a line or a restaurant wait. Huffing, eye-rolling--they don't go full Karen, but you can tell they're REALLY annoyed that Their Specialness has to wait their turn like everyone else.

It appears that 80% of German women are called Karen! People really like to demonstrate their annoyance here, I find. In Britain we keep it in but complain about it afterwards!

“What's Something Subtle That Instantly Gives You Bad Vibes About Someone?” (40 Answers) Asking the race of the people in your story when you are talking about something that has absolutely nothing to do with race. Also saying things are racist when they aren’t and using racial slurs.

When someone doesn’t listen to you. As in actually HEAR what you’re saying. It’s one thing if they don’t understand how you’re feeling and you need to clarify. It’s another when they’re blatantly ignoring you because they’re being selfish or defensive.

Whenever I've met someone and we go out to eat or just eat snacks at home, and they don't clean up after themselves. Like I mean, just leaving trash on the table and going to bed without thinking about it. Those people are usually the last people to take responsibility for their actions.

Edit: I don't mean being forgetful, I mean like refusing to clean stuff up, sorry for the vague explanation.

“What's Something Subtle That Instantly Gives You Bad Vibes About Someone?” (40 Answers) Not being a reliable narrator and believing your assumptions as facts.

Small exaggerations or telling stories from your perspective once in a while are fine but seemingly being unable to frame your perspective and feelings separate from the rest of the world is concerning. My sister will often state other people's thoughts or feelings she believes as if they are fact. Needless to say she can't be relied on for a trust worthy depiction of events, even in the most low stake scenerios

Intelligent people are happy to be better informed about things, however they will research/fact check first before correcting themselves. They will also freely admit, after they finish researching/fact checking, that their prior understanding was wrong. What they absolutely do NOT do is double down on their wrong information.

I can usually read people quite well, so it always freaks me out when I meet a person and there is... nothing. Just a blank slate with a smile painted on.
Sometimes they turn out to be great people, other times they end up being total pricks.
But it's strange and slightly worrying when they don't project anything.

I’ve also noticed a lot of people with really hard and mean looks on their faces. I don’t mean resting b***h/bastard face (hey fellow Pandas, we can say bastard!). I mean someone who looks like they’d cut you for just looking in their direction. You know, if you have to look like that to survive in your neighborhood, fine. But when you go into other people’s neighborhoods, where you don’t have to look that way, just try to soften it a bit, or you’ll unnecessarily and unintentionally scare TF outta people.

Someone who smile and bubbly all the frigging time.

It’s always been a front and facade hiding the real true self behind, which is just a normal human being with flaws.

But the facade itself is also a sign that the person have a mental problem dealing with some form of negativity. Something like either wanting to please or have a false believe that no one likes a sad individual…etc.
