Controlling

Control is a very dangerous, untrustworthy behavior trait because it can ultimately lead to abuse. A person who feels the need to be in control at all times will always want the upper hand, leaving you without a voice.

Don’t trust a controlling person like this because you’ll only be their puppet. They care more about being in control than doing what’s right or listening to the concerns of the other person.

Lack empathy

Empathy is integral to listening and getting to know another individual. It could be an untrustworthy behavior trait when there’s no empathy. People who lack empathy seem to ignore, be oblivious, or even enjoy your discomfort or sickness.

For instance, a deceptive individual may cross a boundary by interrupting you and refusing to stop, even when you express your disapproval.

    Been being lied to about my partner talking to ex boyfriends finding hidden and deleted messages being told they don’t talk to them than finding out they are. 6 years together and most of it talking to ex boyfriends and telling men they only post stuff about being in a relationship bc they get hit on a lot. They get there teenager n kids to lie.
