If you feel regret over going too far in a relationship or wish you had not met someone, it means that person has done great damage to your feelings and mindsets.
The red signs of a dangerous person were already there from the start.
But, you hadn’t paid attention to that or ‘that person’ played you perfectly well.
How Do You Know Someone Might Be Dangerous To You?
When it comes to dangerous personalities, not every time does it refer to the people who are a threat to the whole society and the community. Of course, they’re the ones you should watch out for.
Yet, there are also some threatening people who don’t look or feel like danger, but they are.
These are the people that are around you at your office, in your colony, around your home, and sometimes they sit right beside you.
Whoever they are, they have just one mission and that’s to destroy you.
Not every dangerous person attacks you physically, but some attack you emotionally and mentally which is more painful.
And that’s quite severe, due to which you may lose your sense of feeling and thinking positive about anything or anyone thereafter.
Such people come into your life in the form of the nicest and kindest person.
Despite their very clear harmful intentions, they don’t let you feel it from the beginning.
However, if you pay closer attention, you may get a glimpse of their true image and the intentions they’re hiding.
You really wish that if you have aware of such red signs earlier, you could save yourself from a lot more damage.

Yeah, they do nothing good for the environment.
Being with them, you’re going to waste your mood and a good time. Because, they get under your skin and keep you annoyed.
They never appreciate you nor value your presence when you’re with them.
Everything you do for them, they just overlook or don’t respect.
