It's often said that we can all only be as accomplished as the people we surround ourselves with, so choosing who we allow into our inner circle is a vitally important decision. It's also no small task. Nobody wants to be hurt by someone they can't trust, of course.
But the company you keep has also been shown to have an impact on your success in everything from hobbies to your career, here are red flags that point to someone who's untrustworthy and who should be removed from your inner circle:
1. People who disguise insults as jokes
2. People who refuse to take accountability but readily blame you
3. People who say they want the best for you, but then work against you
4. People whose words and actions don't match
5. People who sow doubt under the guise of concern
6. People who sabotage you, then make excuses
