But seriously. All human relationships have their vulnerabilities. With patience, forgiveness, and a sincere attempt at constantly improving things, friendships usually last a long time. It takes a pretty selfish person to drive away a good friend.
Here are the 5 fastest ways to lose a good friend:
1. Constantly break your promises - One of the most common responses that people have when asked "what makes a good friend" is that they should be reliable. When they make plans, they keep them. When they promise to do something for you, they always do it. Screwing over your friends is a great way to lose them!
2. Talk shit behind each other's back - A humble, caring friend is hard to come by. If you want to lose a good friend, make sure you never give them the benefit of the doubt. Talk shit about them with other people as much as possible, and never go out of your way to show them that you care!
3. Take advantage of others' time and money, and never give back - Doesn't everybody hate a mooch? The funny thing about cheapass people is that they are usually the ones who act paranoid about others taking advantage of themselves. So... make sure you constantly complain about how you have no money. Constantly use your friends money and ask them to do favors for you, and then purposefully forget to pay them back or say thank you!
4. Create regular opportunities for disagreement and offense - Everyone has differences with their friends, whether religious, cultural, educational, or otherwise. If you really want to hurt and anger your friend, try to argue about your viewpoint at every opportunity and make them feel like you don't care or appreciate them for who they are!
5. Be generally disinterested and disrespectful - Finally, if you really want to lose a great friend, try not to show interest in their life, family, their past, their passions, or anything else. In fact, do this enough that it becomes a blatant matter of disrespect. You need to appear bored and unprotective of them at all costs!
