[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jill2000Plus: [QB] "- An unwillingness to take responsibility and/or a routine avoidance of responsibility are things I've seen attached to abusive behavior especially when it is tied to placing blame on someone else in order to get their way" As a point giving a different perspective that is not meant to argue against your point: a major red flag for me is people who do not show understanding of the effects of mental health issues and disability on productivity and sometimes level of motivation - people who believe that disabilities and mental health issues are just an excuse and say things like "people with autism lack empathy" or equate able-bodied neurotypical men who refuse to pick up after themselves out of sheer sexist entitlement with people who legitimately struggle with these things due to disabilities and/or mental health issues, expecting disabled people to work non-stop in order to get as close as possible to "normal" levels of independence, instead of accepting that everyone has their limitations and everyone is entitled to free time, people who believe, even if they don't explicitly state it, that disability is something that can be overcome through willpower (this is a more common attitude when it comes to neuroatypicality or mental health issues that physical disability, but you can find people who believe this for even the latter to some extent) ... in fact more generally people who believe in that kind of "willpower is all that matters" nonsense are a huge red flag for me as it takes a lot of ignorant privilege to believe that.
