Hi Natalie! So sorry I didn’t see this until now. I love your question. I like to look more at if you don’t feel safe because we all have unique barometers for safety. But in general, if when we’re around someone, we don’t feel trusting of them, we feel on edge, anxious, nervous. We feel like we have to protect ourselves. Those are all big signs of not feeling safe. That said, some people don’t feel safe with anyone so much if it can be internal. BUT, there are some people who are manipulative, coercive, dishonest, etc. and those are people to look out for. So if someone doesn’t keep their word; if they tell you you’re lying when you’re not; they make you question your reality; they deny their part in the dynamic; they criticize and belittle you; those are all signs of a narcissist and signs that you may be being manipulated. I hope this helps! Love to you, sista! XO
