Quick Ways to Destroy a Friendship

Do you regularly have friends "grow away" from you? You know they are friends for a while and then you never see them. I am sure that it must be "their" issue and not "your issue." But, what if it could be your issue? Maybe you have been communicating in a way that pushes people instead of drawing them in. Here's a top ten list of guaranteed friendship busters from Nancy Beach.

Guaranteed Friendship Busters

10. Always forget your wallet.

9. Ask, “Have you gained a little weight?”

8. Talk loudly and often about your political beliefs.

7. Tell them how to raise their kids.

6. Come down with a sudden “24 hour stomach flu” on the day that you were supposed to help them move.

5. Invite them to a pyramid scheme.

4. Request a lot of airport pick-ups….at Atlanta.

3. Send a lot of email forwards insisting that they send them to ten more people or bad luck with strike.

2. Limit all your conversations to Twitter.

1. Only communicate through email.

Can you relate to any of these? Now, remember after you read this, if this shoe fits, it's time to get another pair.
