A snake always hisses before it strikes. People do the same. They show you exactly who they are long before they hurt you. The problem isn’t that the signs aren’t there. It’s that we don’t want to see them. We want the fantasy more than the truth, so we ignore what feels off and hope it changes. If you pay attention to behaviour instead of words, and you have the discipline to believe what you see, you can protect yourself from a lot of unnecessary damage. Self awareness is not just about knowing yourself. It is about recognising danger in others and acting on it. #SelfAwareness #EmotionalIntelligence #Boundaries #TrustYourGut #PatternRecognition UnfilteredWisdom
