Twitter Thread Pointing Out The Green Flags In A Relationship Is The Best Advice You’ll Read In Time For Valentine’s Day
Tell me if you agree with me – whenever we talk about relationships or partners we somehow end up discussing what red flags we need to look out for, but we hardly ever talk about green flags that we should actively look for. I personally believe that looking for green flags in a relationship/partner is as important as pointing out the red ones. Why? Because it allows for the trust to build and grow as well as gives a sense of security.
Now, if you’re wondering what green flags I’m talking about… well, let me present to you a Twitter thread that I came across. A user by the name of Omar Bazza recently tweeted a series of tweets that talks about what are the green flags in a relationship that make it successful and healthy.
[THREAD] As Valentine’s Day is approaching, I want to talk about relationships, specifically green flags. Noticing those green flags in another person can be an amazing feeling and allow us to trust the other person more. So what makes a relationship successful and healthy?

To begin with, the user says that communication is the main ingredient and the main green flag in any relationship. If we feel safe opening up to them then it opens up doors for many more things like trust, honesty, vulnerability etc.
The main component is communication. When we feel safe opening up, it can help with so many things. Communication has two sides to it. First of all, we need to feel safe opening up to someone. That means they won’t use it against us. Second, it is about being vulnerable.

In another tweet, the user adds how communication is something that can be worked on. How it is a dynamic aspect of a relationship and can be moulded to fit the relationship.
Furthermore, communication is one of those skills that can be worked on. Even for people in relationships where communication is not where you want it to be, you can get there. It takes changing our habits and a lot of work, but it is definitely achievable.

For people who may have had trauma growing up, it can be hard to communicate even when it is a safe environment. If you are in that situation, please make sure to go to therapy and work on the underlying problems because that healthy communication can enhance a bond.

Another green flag according to the user is respecting boundaries. (This one I can vouch for). In the tweet, the user mentions how when your partner doesn’t pressurise you or guilt trips you into doing something shows how much they respect you and your needs.
A joint interest in the other person’s activities. Very few things feel more amazing than when the person we like takes interest in our hobbies/life, even if it wasn’t an interest of theirs. They enjoy seeing the passion we have for where we like.

Being in agreement about the future is a crucial green flag. It is best to agree upon the big life goals early in life so both of y’all know where y’all stand and what the other person wants from their future.
There is an agreement about the future. That means that you see life the same way, whether that is wanting to have kids or no kids, living in a certain place, etc. Those big life goals are best agreed upon early on because it is hard to compromise on those.

I have always believed that relationships are about give and take. And even in the Twitter thread, the user talks about a balanced give and take relationship. After all, any relationship doesn’t last for long when there is only one person putting in most of the effort now, can it?
A balance of give and take. Whether it is in friendships or relationships, we have to put a similar effort into it. If one person does more to make the relationship work, the other person will feel more burned out and less appreciated for their efforts.

When people get into a relationship, some of them lose their own individuality. They forget that they also have a life of their own. One of the green flags the user talks about is to be with a person who has their own life out of a relationship. Because a relationship should add more to you and your life, not become your life.
Continuing to have a life of our own even after the relationship: it is important not to give up on our hobbies, friends/life when we meet someone else. A relationship should enhance and add to our life and not mean that we have to cut our individuality to fit the relationship.

Having the approval of your friends is definitely a green flag. And I agree with the user because I also believe that they are not blinded by their feelings and so have a very practical perception of your relationship.
A seal of approval from friends: unless your friends are very toxic, remember that they are there for you and notice green/red flags much better than you. Listening to their feedback is important because they have more of that objectivity than us when we are clouded by emotions.

The Twitter user’s last but definitely important green flag is not getting into a relationship just because you feel alone, lonely, or have a void you want to fill. And this green flag speaks for itself.
Here we go! Those are some of my favourite green flags for a successful relationship. I hope that this thread was informative. Hope everyone is having an amazing week so far! Lots of love ❤️

With Valentine’s Day being just around the corner, I believe that this thread about green flags was necessary. Especially nowadays when people are changing relationships as often as they change their clothes.
