My beauty tech told me she has no friends and is now trying to latch onto me. Are people who have no friends a red flag?

This is a business transaction, and I am not interested in being her friend. She is constantly asking about my friend group as if she's hoping I'd invite her to hang out with us. She has severe diarrhea of the mouth and envy issues and is
just socially awkward, so I see why she doesn't have friends. I tend to observe and be very selective with who is in my friend circle. And no, I have not invited her to hang out and never will.

My opinion: people with no friends are a red flag

People with no friends are red flags🚩

No they're not red flags

It’s hard to make and maintain friendships as you get older. I think of my connections in my late teens/early 20s and I had many more people around me than I do now. So I’m not sure I could say it’s a red flag in general but it depends on the person.


To be in the beauty industry and thrive, especially on your own, you’ve got to have to be making connections, and have the right personality. The woman in question could be trying to subliminally hint to suggesting her services to your friend group. Of course she can also just genuinely be vibing with you and trying to make friends, in which case it’s completely fine if you aren’t interested. I just wonder if it’s more about gaining new clientele.

Erase the “have” lol

True , I think it's a lot easier to obtain friendships when we are younger because we are choosing quantity over quality. As an adult I've learned to choose quality that's why I am very selective.

As far as the lash tech, girl🤦🏼‍♀️ even her husband has told her to go find friends because she has no friends. Her husband has a lot of friends yet they don't get along with her. She has severe diarrhea of the mouth and lacks social skills. Invitations are often extended to him and not her which now that I've been around her I see why. She's very envious , always in other people's business and questioning how other people have more than her.

I hear you, I had a friend like that and honestly it can be draining. She’d likely suffocate you with her friendship how mine did.

Yes, and she is extremely vindictive. Because she's envious of others and knows I'm in the medical field, she asked me how much people get for adopting kids because her neighbors keep adopting kids, and she thinks it's for the money. I said to her ," Unless these kids are being neglected or abused, I don't think any of this is your business." She said, "Oh well, I was just wondering because now they have a new car. Instantly, I knew I would never ever want to be friends with her.

Yikes, Maybe it’s time for a new lash tech lol

[GlowUpGirly5]

Girrl!! Lol I'm actually looking around now. I love her work she's goof at what she does but you know how it is when us ladies go for our beautification we want to relax and not deal with drama so yes I'm looking into a more upscale classier community.

No, having no friends is not automatically a “red flag” but it can indicate socially awkwardness, shyness and so on and dealing with that can be hard work.

She is not a good person and I see why she has no friends

I sure hope not, I'm already average or bellow across the board I'd like to at least not be a straight up red flag.

Everyone has red flags. There are indeed some universal red flags, but nobody is perfect and we should accept it
