Here are 12 warning signs a nice person has bad intentions. Sometimes, people will pretend to like you in order to get what they want. These folks are manipulative and deceitful. On this podcast, we look at the psychology of interpersonal relationships and how to tell if you are being manipulated by a master manipulator. From subtle changes in behavior to more obvious red flags, learn how to spot fake nice people and fake friends before they pull a fast one on you. It's really easy for us to get caught up in the idea that a nice person is inherently good and that if someone is being kind to us, they must be our friend. But the truth is that not all seemingly nice people have good intentions. In fact, sometimes the nicest people are actually the ones with bad intentions. So it's important to know whether someone is being genuine with you or just using you.
