You’ve heard a lot about red flags. But what are the green flags? Whom you can trust blindly. A green flag refers to the positive attributes, behaviours, or characteristics that create desirability as a friend, partner, colleague & whatsoever. It’s about having qualities that contribute to positive interactions, healthy relationships & overall well-being.
Here are ten signs that you’re a green flag:
- You Try to Become Better: Every day you try to become a better friend, better partner & a better individual. You learn from your mistakes. You respect others’ criticism, you get inspired by the good things about others and try to absorb those qualities in you. Each day you go through a mutation process of positive energy. You identify your shortcomings, you accept them & solve them. And most importantly you inspire other people around you to become better but not force.
- You Don’t Give People Silent Treatment: If there is a fight or argument, you don’t stop talking. You never stop communication. You talk to them clearly, you tell them your feelings & how you think in a respectful way. You stay transparent to yourself & to others and you also respect other people’s perception. You don’t spread hate but you always want to stay positive & transparent with your feelings.
- You Maintain Individuality: This relationship is not everything for you. You give a healthy amount of time in your relationship & also You keep some time to spend with yourself. You give quality time to your family, friends & to yourself. You know the importance of maintaining a healthy relationship in every aspect of your life. So, you give time to your family, your friends & you also keep time for your self-improvement & you also encourage your partner to have their own individuality. You encourage your partner to meet new people, make new friends, to learn something new about themselves. You’re not insecure about their character because you trust them. You don’t want your partner to be completely dependent on you & that’s why you also respect their boundary of time.
- You Don’t Involve A Lot of People in Your Relationship: Your relationship should be kept in your personal area. There are lots of people who like the public display of affection but you’re not that. You are secure about your feelings & You always admit your relationship but you don’t want other people to be involved in the inside matter. When you have any problem with your relationship you don’t tell it to everyone but you go to the closest one & seek advice on how to solve it.
5. Have Self-Awareness You have a clear idea about your daily tasks, your work, your growth routine. You just don’t spend all of your time, energy & feeling to keep your relationship alive. You know your sleep routine, you know your time to go to work, you know your time to go to the gym & you are also aware of your other feelings. You respect the other person’s effort & you also respect your space. A self-aware person is mindful of his actions & speech over others. He is accountable for his actions & aware of his shortcomings. Not having self-awareness will eventually stop your growth & will cause dissatisfaction in a relationship.
6. Engaged in The Relationship: You put effort into the relationship. You’re not someone who is a reactor but you are an active participant in your relationship. You have the responsibility to reply fast, you remember to call, bring value to the relationship are signs that you are good as a partner. You always make it clear that you like your partner. For newer relationship couples generally don’t face this issue but over time the engagement seems to become weaker. But if you’re someone who never falls short of engagement & commitment that means you are a green flag.
7. Fighting Fair: No relationship is perfect. As an independent human being both of you have your own choices & decisions. When you’re doing something that isn’t supported by your partner or your partner is going to do something that isn’t supported by you, of course, there will be an argument. And this is where as a partner, as a friend you listen to them. You try to understand their point of view no matter how silly it is. You try to understand first & then you explain your point of view to the other person. You don’t disrespect their thoughts even though it completely goes against your point of view. As a human being if you’re someone who possesses this quality then you’re nurturing a HUGE green flag. Keep it.
8. Have a Good Sense of Humor: A good sense of humor is like a Swiss Army Knife which excels a person in all social situations. We all think we have a good sense of humor. But the sense of humor also varies from person to person & place to place. I have seen a lot of people with good humor don’t have the sense of place, person or the situation. A person with a great sense of humor is the expression of his intelligence. Crafting jokes & understanding humor requires intelligence. Understanding humor relies on shared experience. So someone with a good sense of humor can connect more easily & a good sense of humor provides much more stress relief.
9. Anger Management: While you have a good sense of humor, it is more important to stay calm in the hard situations. Poor anger management closes the open communication, understanding & mutual respect. Anger is a natural emotion. But how we express it & manage it impacts our relationship. You pay attention to the situation & find out the actual problem that triggers you & you talk about it and try to come to a solution that is actually what anger management is. Sometimes people just stay silent to the situations & treat people silently. That’s not a good thing to do. Anger management is not about staying silent. It’s about solving the conflict in a respectful way.
10. You Embrace Differences: We all have the fascination with our dream partner. We have grown some criteria in our subconscious mind about our future partners. But is it indeed? No, there are differences in people. No one can be as perfect as we dream. It’s about recognizing & celebrating the unique qualities, perception & experience. It creates a diverse & inclusive environment where everyone feels respected about their limitations & exceptions. Embracing differences encourages personal growth. It promotes authentic connection & respect based on acceptance & understanding rather than discrimination & insults.
So, if you’re someone who possesses all these qualities then you’re a HUGE GREEN FLAG. You must always stick to your core values. Recognize & cultivate These qualities because they will not only help you in your relationship but also in every aspect of your life. But if you have all these qualities of a GREEN FLAG but still single or got cheated then I must say, Hold on! You’ve waited a lot. Wait a little bit longer. The right person, the right situation will come to you at the right time.
I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good. I don’t know who you are but certainly you’re going to a famous blogger if you are not already 😉 Cheers!
