I don't like gossipers. If they're willing to talk about other people in front of you, then it's pretty much guaranteed that they'll also say stuff about you behind your back.

What are some of the things that make you suspicious of other people?

One thing I've realised is that there are certain people that just "don't like you" for some reason and would be quite subtle about it. It's just the way they act around you and around their friends or other group of people. Normally with me as a person I never get into arguments with anyone since I'm the type to get along with any human being making plenty of friends and giving off a positive vibe; avoiding negative vibes is a big thing that I do. Like there was one issue I had during last year of University that fits completely into this thread that I want to talk about and it's quite common amongst young British Asians.

My student accommodation hall consists of mainly asians, of whom majority are from Birmingham and the rest are from other places like Nottingham, Luton, Leeds, Bedfordshire, Coventry and London (I'm from London anyways). Now there was this one group of asians that just chill with each other and I tend to get along with them very well and I've chilled with them quite a few times but the thing with me is that I'm not a "regular" amongst the group. There was this one guy I met who's from Birmingham and he was pretty chilled with me the first time I met him, played pool with him and stuff. Then somehow he became a bit shifty with me and when I shook hands with him he would just look down and give a half-hearted response. Normally I don't care since I don't get attached to people like that but I knew there was a shift in attitude by him towards me.

To me he comes across as a guy who was very quiet in school but came to uni pretending to be someone he's not, after a night out at a club, the whole group (who I don't chill with that much) went back to our halls and we were all in one room chilling with this guy there too. This guy tends to be the joke of the bunch but "respected somewhat", in the sense that they'd call him a "Gujji B*****d" as a joke. Everyone including me laughed since it was funny but it's all banter and nothing serious, then he'd look at me and be like "why are you laughing for?". Then I had to shut him down by saying that why you being a little girl for, the guy next to me called you that and you're afraid of him :))) which resulted in everyone laughing. There was a dumbbell on the floor to which one mate next to me grabbed and done 1 forearm rep perfectly. The other guy who I'm on about then grabs it and struggles so everyone including me laugh again. He then switches at me and says "why you laughing for? Try it yourself then". So I grabbed it and done a perfect forearm and he responded with "oh..." to which everyone laughed again :))) After a while I saw him whispering to another guy in the room in front of me and he said to me "Yo come lets chill in block A me and you". Obviously this is where the suspicion came because first of all, you don't talk to me and only do when you need something in your favour and second of all is that you don't like me for some reason. Me personally I have no idea what me and him were gonna do in another block of the accommodation hall but I personally think he wanted to ditch me.

One time we were all going to go on a night out and he comes up to one time to tell me not to move to this Pakistani girl because his mate (who is cool with me) wants to score. I'm thinking that this useless creature clearly has zero respect for me :))) So at the club the girl ended up having a good time with me (I didn't even put in effort or intent, she just wanted my attention :))) ) and the guy's mate couldn't score. So all in all, the guy managed to convince one other guy in the group to delete me off snapchat for no reason and has convinced another guy to not like me either :))) So they end up talking stuff to certain girls about me just to impress the girl which kind of gets me thinking that there are just certain guys out there that are trash.

Now the only reason why I shared this story is to just highlight some of the dodgiest characters you can meet in life, you shouldn't trust anyone and above all, positive vibes should be spread. I'm just praying everyone including me live a happy life ahead with no worries, stress or trouble.
 
People who lie about small, irrelevant things really make me suspicious
 
People who start their sentences with....

'Allah Maaf Karay, kisi ki Ghebat nahe karni Chaheyay LEKIN........'

This right here is the definition of being a hypocrite, can't stand these kind of people !!
 
I have yet to be useful in life to others to feel suspicious of other's motives :)

Or may be I come across more real people :)
 
People who start their sentence with "I don't mean to be racist but..." or end their sentence with "... No offense"

Two of the dodgiest starts and ends to a sentence, and shows the person doesn't want to outright come and say what they want and wants to look good while saying something mean.
 
People who start their sentence with "I don't mean to be racist but..." or end their sentence with "... No offense"

Variants include "don't take this the wrong way, but," and "just sayin'".

Invariably, what they are about to say can only be taken the wrong way, and they are more than just saying.

I don't get along well with some people myself and I tend to be rather straightforward about it.

I'll just openly ask them to stay away from me, so I'm not wasting my time dropping hints.
 
Someone who says Inshallah/Mashallah once or twice in each sentence. In my experience those people are the most shady and suspicious. If a person is truly religious they don't have to shove it down your throat.

Exactly man the main thing is that you can't please everyone , spreading positive vibes is the best thing and only associating yourselves with those that benefit your life should be cherished. So you shouldn't associate with time wasters, toxic people, toxic relationships, negative vibes etc; it's just really unhealthy to be around that. Happiness should always be the key in life where it can take different forms, so you should work towards your goals, cut out all the bad apples and maintain a strict focus on positive vibes. With that being said, when you stay focused on these things, then the right people that are meant to be in your life will stay there.
 
Suspicious of what really?

But here are some of my personal thoughts

If I am suspicious of someone being a racist, I avoid people who have tatoos & are skin heads.

If I see the person stopping and walking in a weird way I am suspicious he/she is drunk.

In terms of gossip, I assume that person isnt trustworthy at all.
 
Lack of eye contact.

Certain eye movements when questioned.

Lack of a good strong handshake (in a man).

Tone of voice.

Body language.

im a very bad judge of character.

my initial impulse is everyone is honest and believe what they say unless proven otherwise. initially i thought it was a problem, now however i realize it's a sort of blessing.

the world maybe an ugly place, but in my head it's beautiful and worth saving; a few bad eggs here and there is a fair enough price to pay for this constant illusion.
