    I use to think a red flag was a telling sign that someone isn’t who they say they are, borderline psycho or have other underlying issues such as being abusive or manipulative.

      That makes no sense though, so a green flag is ‘thing I like about you’ and a red flag is ‘you are a lying manipulative and abusive sociopath’??

      I think this may just be your interpretation, I’m 30 and I’ve literally never heard it used to mean this.

        I worded that poorly but I said it was a telling sign, like a warning. Maybe the person spreads rumors or compulsively lies. Granted, it’s always difficult to spot signs of true manipulators when you are the victim. But you’re probably right though, it might just be my interpretation.
