1. How does this person treat other people? Are they polite and respectful? Or are they rude or inappropriate?
I'll attempt friendly banter with polite and respectful. Rude and inappropriate are colossal red flags of a toxic person and I refuse
to engage.



2. Is this person needing to vent or just a whiner/complainer?
We all need to vent, venting is a healthy outlet and a person just wants to be heard and not validated.
Actual whiner/complainers get ignored from me and all they seem to need to be validated.
There is a vast difference between the two. In person and online, I can tell by the tone. Sometime those that need to vent refer
to themselves as whiners, when in fact they're not.



3. Do they have TSF gear on? Do they just start yelling about "those democrats"?
If yes, don't walk.... run, skip, start rolling somersaults or speed walk away and do so very quickly!
