There are a plethora of people who are kind-hearted, honest, empathetic, warm, those who truly care about the welfare of other people (and don’t just say this but make it obvious with their actions), and who are humble, loyal, trustworthy, thoughtful, and hard-working.

And then there are people who are not these things.

It isn’t always easy to know right off the bat if someone is not-so-great though. This can take months and over the course of a lot of experiences with someone to figure it out. Sometimes, such a thing is obvious right off the bat (that someone has a crappy character), and other times, it isn’t. Other times, it takes far more observation of a person in order to see this.

In the meantime, here are some telltale traits that likely indicate someone is not so fantastic.

They Are Stingy

Just because someone is stingy doesn’t automatically make them a terrible person. Yet, it heavily implies they may not be so great. Here is why: stinginess indicates things like a lack of generosity, selfishness, a lack of willingness to extend oneself for others, and a generally more restricted kind of soul.
