Recently, I picked Diablo 2 back up and have been playing lots of hardcore online. Once I get past the normal difficulty, I get extremely wary of other players and for some reason I think everyone is out to TK me. I really enjoy playing with others but the constant thought looming in the back of my mind that someone might be toying with me gives me the willies and takes the fun out of it. As a result, I usually just end up playing in solo, passworded games during Nightmare and Hell difficulties.

So, I come to you Gaming community, with a plea for help to help me enjoy Diablo 2 hardcore again without worrying. What are the telltale signs of someone that has the intention of TKing? I'm familiar with the whole "TP out, Hostile, TP in, kill" and other similar tactics, but I'm looking more for how I can spot a TKer before it happens so I can look out for it. Additionally, what are some of the lesser-known tactics they use that I could look out for?
