One of the best things you can do for yourself is to surround yourself with the right kind of people. These can be people who are fun or intelligent or hilarious.

When you're making new friends, it can be easy to find someone who seems nice at first, but turn out to be different than you imagined.

Sometimes this can be made very obvious. However, other times, these signs are very subtle.


As long as you pay attention, you should be okay. However, it also helps that Redditor my-dogatemy-chancla asked:

"What’s a subtle sign that someone is not a nice person?"

– Rough-Tension

Now You See Me, Now You Don't

"They're around for stuff that benefits them, and exclusively for that. E.g. they'll be there when you throw a barbecue but won't be when you're moving."

Me, Myself & I

Now, of course, there are plenty of people who are just as nice as they appear to be. Maybe even nicer.

However, it never hurts to pay attention to those subtle signs.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO).

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
