Are you worried about giving your heart away to a player who won’t take care of it, who might cheat on you or leave you for the next person that comes along? To save yourself all that pain and heartache, here are the warning signs that you might be dealing with a player.

The purpose of this video is to help you steer away from someone who might not be good for your mental health..

Deeply, a player is an unhappy person, someone who is lost in life and doesn't really know what they truly want. That's why they want to play around as it gives them instant good feelings, yet those feelings disappear very soon and the player has to keep playing the game otherwise they will not know what else to do to feel better. So if you have got played by a player, have some empathy for them, and please don't take things personally. Hurt people hurt people ❤

If you think someone is a player, they probably are

[Gidiotic]

You see their gamertag on top of their head

These people are usually narcissists. It's for the best when they don't stick around, because when they do (well, sort of) they're emotionally abusive.

[skywatcher]

I really dislike when people play with anothers feelings in that way. In this day and age it seems every one is selfish.

[SamElle]

I also dont get why some consider being a player a badge of honor. They would actually brag about it and I'm just here thinking... so you're proud of being a bad person...

Signs He's a Player
👍
He's Constantly on His Phone. One of the clear signs that you're dating a player is that he's always texting other people.
He Won't Make Long-Term Plans.
He's Vague About His Whereabouts.

He Won't Introduce You to His Friends.

He's a Flirt.

[itzmehDevi]

everyone here talking and commenting as if it is always a "he"
NOPE...there are girls like this too..

[ebonyphoenixrising]

So tempted to send this to a player that keeps hitting on me.

[lithsieperera]

Hardest thing is you were being played with a person whom you have had feelings for, still breaks my heart 😓

[calypsokiosko]

By player, you mean narcissistic manipulator where they think lying to people and be an emotional manipulator is an OK thing to do.

[transcendentspider]

They're Always on their phone?

*Nervous Sweating*

[strangersontheinternet]

U know I was stuck on a player for 4 years before I realized he was a player.
The memories I cherished were filled with little black spots of moments where I knew he was seeing other people aswell...but when you miss someone you tend to forget/ignore the bad & the ugly.

I‘m glad that I saw his true colors and can now move on 😌

My first boyfriend was a player and I thought I could change him... I've learned my lesson.
