KINDS OF FRIENDS

There is no crystal ball to predict that a particular friend will turn out to be a reliable, positive relationship in your life or, by contrast, that a negative association will cause you emotional distress, or worse. Since destructive or negative friends are not always that easy to spot, WHEN FRIENDSHIP HURTS may help you to reevaluate your current friends, as well as to reassess past or potential friendships.

  1. The Promise Breaker Constantly disappoints you or breaks promises
  2. The Taker Borrows and fails to return something precious or valuable to you.
  3. The Double-Crosser Betrays you big time
  4. The Risk Taker Puts you in harm’s way because of illegal or dangerous behavior
  5. The Self-Absorbed Never has time to listen to you
  6. The Cheat Lies, or steals your romantic partner
  7. The Discloser Betrays your confidence
  8. The Competitor Excessively combative with you and wants what you have relationships, job, possessions
  9. The One-Upper Always one up on you
  10. The Rival Wants whatever you have and may try to take it from you
  11. The Faultfinder Overly critical
  12. The Downer Always negative, critical, and sad, and makes you feel that way too.
  13. The Rejecter Dislikes you and lets you know it
  14. The Abuser Verbally, physically,
  15. The Loner Would rather be alone than with a friend
  16. The Blood Sucker Overly dependent
  17. The Therapist Needs to analyze everything and give you advice
  18. The Interloper Overly involved in your life
  19. The Copy Cat Imitates you
  20. The Controller Needs to dominate you or the friendship
  21. The Caretaker Needs to be a friend’s keeper, mother or nursemaid, rather than an equal.

So which ones r the ones You currently have???
I have the Controller, therapist , Copy Cat, Caretaker(not too bad), The downer…wow I have a long list…:smiley:

Re: KINDS OF FRIENDS

ahh. i hav all kind of friends.

recently i sort of distanced myself from a few becuz they are so not worth it

but dealin with ppl like that , that u need to ignore 24/7 is soo hard! especially if ur school is messed because their are soo many physical and verbal fights even wen u just glance at each other. they go like ' y u lookin at me for'

ah, so hard. but yes. i have great friends too and im glad to part my ways from the others

Re: KINDS OF FRIENDS

i have all 1 - 21 type of friends but only one is shining star.

Re: KINDS OF FRIENDS

if any guppies here are assimilation-friendly (having no prob with going up close and personal with goras, kalas other cultures etc.) they are more likely to get one of amber's list.. cuz most of us know how most pakis are..

Re: KINDS OF FRIENDS

dry

Re: KINDS OF FRIENDS

i just cut ties with a "convenient user" friend...she would call me when she needed something..other wise..No.
We met when it was to her convenience..like going for a oil change..or when she needed something done..so..one day when stuck inside a car wash .....i called her to help and perhaps give a ride home..she refused..that she was sleepy..
So after that day..we never talked again!

Re: KINDS OF FRIENDS

Basically ...she was running the show as I say it....And again good riddance to her:D

Re: KINDS OF FRIENDS

oh wowness.

i can never bare ppl like tht

i tell them off right on the spot

and they can never say anything to me

cuz u gotta admit. its obvious to even the person him/her self

on how much they use sumone.

tsk tsk pppl in this world -_-
