 Hi, Psych2Goers, and welcome back to another video. Have you ever been betrayed? Did you see it coming? If not, do you ever wish you could have known beforehand if someone was going to betray you? As much as you want to give people the benefit of the doubt, being betrayed is more common than you would like to think. Between romantic and platonic relationships, have you ever felt like betrayal is unavoidable? While you can't control how other people act, did you know that there are always ways to tell when someone is going to betray you? They're subtle and easy to miss if you don't know what to look for, so here are nine signs someone is about to betray you. Number one, they're only there when it's convenient for them. Have you ever had a friend that was only there whenever there was something they wanted? They're there for you when you're having fun, but the second you need their comfort and support, they're suddenly busy. While it's hard to accept, people who do this generally don't care about you or your feelings. They're not real friends, meaning they're likely to betray you when there's nothing else to gain. Yikes. When you notice someone doing this to you, you may want to reconsider your friendship and find some friends who truly care. Number two, they've begun to act out of character. Have you ever thought you knew someone, only to see them start doing things you never expected? For example, your shy and reserved friend suddenly begins to hang out with a more popular friend group, so their behavior and mannerisms transform completely. While people change every day, sudden and drastic changes could mean that they have reinvented themselves and aren't the same person they once were. They could be more inclined to betray you as part of their new persona. Watch out. Number three, they've begun to distance themselves from you. Have you ever noticed anyone pulling away from you? It could be making up excuses to avoid you or unfollowing you on social media even. While there could be other reasons for this, it's a big sign they're preparing to betray you. Putting distance between you two generally means they're becoming less emotionally invested in you, meaning they could be pulling away to avoid the guilt of betraying you afterwards. How nice of them. Number four, they begin to give you underhanded, insincere compliments. Has anyone ever said the following to you? You actually look nice today. Or I would have never expected it, but you did surprisingly well. Wait, what? While they may sound like compliments, if you look a little deeper, they're underhanded jabs. People often speak this way when they're jealous of you and want to bring you down without being obvious about it. If you've noticed someone doing this, it's likely they don't really like you and are more inclined to betray you. Number five, they talk badly about you behind your back. Have you ever accidentally heard someone gossiping about you? Was it a friend who gossips about others to you? But you never thought they'd treat you the same way. Much like giving insincere compliments, someone insulting you behind your back is a huge sign they're jealous of you and are trying to get others to dislike you as well. It's not only a big indicator of a fake friend, but it's a sign someone is capable of and likely to betray you. On guard. Number six, they tell many small lies. Have you ever caught someone in a white lie? Whoa, pants on fire. While it may not seem like a big deal, telling small lies is a stepping stone to telling larger and more important lies. If someone is lying about minor things like where they got something or who they talked to, they may have the capability to lie about bigger things. A genuine person wouldn't lie even about small things because trust and communication are key factors in any relationship. Number seven, they dodge your questions. Has anyone ever answered your questions with fine or another question? Much like telling small lies, it may not seem like a huge issue, but it's a big sign they're not trustworthy and have something to hide. Avoiding your questions generally means someone is preparing to or already has betrayed you. Number eight, they conceal their phone from you. Okay, picture this. You're with someone who's constantly on their phone, but the second you glance over to see what they're looking at, they flip their phone down and pull it away from you. If they're hiding their phone from you, they probably have a reason why. It's a secretive and distrusting habit, meaning it's probably a good sign they'll betray you and your trust and your confidence. And number nine, they change account passwords that you know. Talk about foreshadowing. Has anyone ever removed your fingerprint from their phone without telling you? It's a big indicator they no longer trust you and are pulling away from you. There's also probably a reason why they don't want you to have access to their accounts anymore, which hints that there's something they're hiding. If someone you know has recently begun to hide their information, they could be preparing to betray you. The most important thing to remember about betrayal is that it isn't your fault. You can't control how others act, so all you can do is try to avoid such people who betray others. It can take months or even years to get over. But with a little timely vigilance, you can help protect yourself from its lethal clutches. Keeping an eye out for these signs can surely help you spot betrayal coming from a mile away and take measures to tackle it.
