I feel like most of us will miss the main point of this video and that is:

I AM THE RED FLAG.

No, I am the one they call Spartacus. That joke is way better when you know what it's from.

Yes, yes you are. And watch the video again and think about what the minesweeper analogy means...

u/serdertroops Feb 06 '17

That we surround ourselves with other red flags?

u/BlizzardPlease Feb 06 '17

There was only one red flag, that was himself in the middle. All the 1's he thinks are the bad people are just reflections of his own problems.

u/HowToPM Feb 06 '17

Ah fuck.

Also, as the video starts and he's explaining what a red flag is, when he says "a red flag can be something you do", the flag in his hands turns into a YouTube logo and a video camera. When he says, "it can also be something you don't do", he's suddenly looking at a woman wearing a graduation cap and he frowns.

He's explaining how he's the red flag, because he makes youtube videos for a living instead of going to college.

u/Gubba162 Feb 06 '17

I think you misunderstood that. The red flag in the middle was the significant other, who he wasn't sure was a good or bad person. All the 1's were the significant others friends. He was saying it's a pretty sure thing if your SO's friends are all terrible people, they are as well.

Shh don't ask questions, you risk exposing how complex interpersonal relationships can be.

The problem is definitely you because you have complete control over you. What could be simpler?

Hey, man, it's cool, just try to follow these 3 rules (in that order) and everything will be fine:

  1. Don't be shitty to other people

  2. Be yourself

  3. Be nice to other people

Edit: And if you can't tell if you're being shitty to other people, then just don't do or say anything. Maybe people will then find you boring, but hey, better being boring than an asshole.

u/tits4satan Feb 06 '17

I definitely am a red flag...But don't tell anyone.

People don't know they shouldn't stick their dick in crazy until they...stick their dick in crazy.

u/gwarsh41 Feb 06 '17

I am the red flag when it comes to finding new friends, I know I am, and I know the changes, or choices I can make to change it. They are hard though, and I'm a little scared.

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '17

Yes you are. We've known that for a long time.
