Have you ever been mid-way into a conversation and suddenly had the intrusive thought that they just might not like you?
You don’t know why, but there’s something in the air that is hostile or passive aggressive.
Well, worry no more because a psychology influencer has come out to share exactly how you can tell if another person isn’t into you.

Josh Fraser Young regularly posts videos on TikTok about mindsets and body language and recently, how to tell if someone doesn’t like you.
The New Zealand native has amassed hundreds of thousands of views on his channel dedicated to the mind.
Known as user, @joshfraseryoung, Young’s popular video series discusses how people really feel when in your presence.
He claims: “Knowing these will open your eyes to how people truly feel about you so be advised.”
Here’s what he thinks are signs that the person you are talking to is a hater.

According to Young, the number one thing to look out for is when a person downplays your achievements.
He explained: “People who dislike you are easily prone to envy, especially when you're doing better than them.
“So, know that when someone close to you shows signs of jealousy, deep down they actually want you to fail.”
Next on the list are people who don’t reach out to you first.

He advised: “The truth is, if someone wants to contact you, they will.
“People are on their phones 24/7, so if they never contact you or never make an effort to reply, there's a high likelihood that they don't actually like you.”
The third sign is pretty obvious: they are nice to everyone else but you.
Young shared a great example of this is like if someone said to you: “What are you even wearing bro? I wish you could be more stylish like Ben.”

He explained: “You have to face that facts honestly that the way people treat you is the way they feel about you.
“If someone shows up for others but refuses to show up in that same way for you, they don't like you.”
Or they try to compete with you and outshine your achievements.
Young said: “You got an A on the psychology test, I actually got an A+.

“People who dislike you are often jealous of you as they can't stand it when you're doing better than them.
“So, when someone close to you shows signs of envy and tries to compete with you, know that they're a secret enemy in disguise.”
Have you ever been around someone who nit-picks at your flaws? There’s another sign for you to add to the list.
The influencer said: “People who dislike you can't stand it when the spotlight is on you, so they do this to bring you down in front of others.”
They may also misinterpret what you say.
Young played out a scenario where you may complement their outfit - only for them to reply with 'what do nice outfit? I wear this every day'.
He went on to explain: “Because people who dislike you have a negative perception about you, they'll often interpret what you say negatively, so when they take your praise as a subtle insult or a slight, know that they're a secret enemy.”
These tips are just some of those that the influencer shares on his page, and they’ve led to people reevaluating their friendship groups based on his tips.
Does anyone you know react like this to your presence?
If you do, then it’s probably time to call it quits!
