Small things that are big tells

[SisterAgatha]

Just for fun, what are the little things you notice about people that actually tell you quite a lot about their nature.

I noticed last week that whenever we go for dinner with my SIL she always assumes the first meal that comes out is hers. Even if it’s very obviously not. And if you order the same thing, she practically snatches the one that is served first. Lots of eye balling peoples dinner to check no one has got anything she ordered. I can definitely extend this behaviour in to other areas of her life too.

Anyone else spot these little things?

Yes agree, a woman who bullied me at work had on her linkedin profile that she was involved in some anti bullying initiative. I was slack jawed.
other bully, a relative, she's a teacher. Sad to know she has so little self awareness.
Most people dont feel the need to tear you down a peg luckily.

Agreed. People who say “I’m a nice guy.”

If you need to convince me you are nice, you probably aren’t. “All my friends will tell you” = imaginary back up.

The women who go on and on about how they wouldn’t let their partner/dh get away with xyz

Are always the ones telling their partner/dh they won’t put up with xyz yet they are still there telling them again and again year after year

While informing others they need to be more like they are ie. not a doormat

Speaking as a woman who has always had more male friends and only really had a significant fraction of female friends in later life, there is the possibility as follows:
I am a massive nerd into sci-fi and futurism not 'girly' activities. I'm also neurodiverse and lack certain hardwired social skills. Most other girls were hostile to me - did not really give me much reason to bother. I did find myself losing friendships when seen less as a person and more of a prize.

BTW anyone who thinks that men are less bitchy have clearly never done gaming or LARP...
