    I’m wary of fear and back bitters.

  2. Be wary of your insecurities

    1. That’s a good addition. Lack of confidence and self-doubt go hand in hand and are detrimental to our success in life.

    I am wary of fear and anxiety, the things i fear and worry about are never as bad as my mind said they are! This is a great post. Believe i want to share on my fb page.

    1. Fear and anxiety, these are great additions. They often limit us from achieving our full potentials. I have a post I wrote a while ago about Doing Things Afraid — https://mariamshittu.com/2018/06/20/do-it-afraid/ you should check it out.
      Please go ahead to share it on your Fb, just click the facebook icon underneath the post. Thank you ❤️

  4. Oh great list, the unhealthy comparisons, complicating things, talking bad, confusing quietness, not asking questions, etc, so true! I have learned to be wary of those who do not show empathy. Great post 👌

    1. Thank you Kellie❤️
      Empathy is so important, that’s a great addition. I’ve never understood why some people fail to put themselves in other people’s shoes. Genuine care costs nothing!

  5. Be wary of colleagues who are quick to rat you out when things go wrong.

    1. Hello Yinka, this is a good one!
