5. “Always be the taker. Being the one that I have to call to get together with. Never the one to call me. Being the friend that I can’t count on when the chips are down. The friend that is never very thoughtful.” –Bebe_Bleau

7. “Trying to “one up” me. I have a friend who constantly talks about how much money she makes a year, and how she has an 800 credit score. Like she’s trying to prove to me how great she is. Also, being passive aggressive.” –Infamous_Watch_4637

10. “When your friend cheats on their significant other. I’ve had two good friends do this and I basically lost all respect for them and the friendships faded. If someone will betray the person they said vows to, they’ll definitely not hesitate to betray me.” –A_Salty_Moon

11. “Making me feel bad for not always wanting to hang out in person. I’m a massive introvert and sometimes I just want to stay home on my days off and recharge. It doesn’t mean I hate you. It just means I need time to get back to 100%.” –Asleep-Bee-4608

13. “A huge thing for me has been when a friend treats me like a therapist. I’ve had multiple friendships where friends were dealing with complex or repetitive problems and they continuously looked to me for support. They did things like bring up the same topic over and over, and constantly asked for advice. The kicker is when they make no changes but still complain.” –greenwitchery

14. “Being an attention seeker – always trying to be the centre of attention and throwing a fit when they’re not, guilt-tripping and manipulating others when they don’t give the person 110% of their attention because god forbid, their life doesn’t revolve around that person. Also, treating every person of the same gender as rivals in a competition.” –Samira827
