The 6 Things People Secretly Hate About Their Friends

Therapists have identified six common things people hate about their friends, which can put a strain on relationships.

  • Political opinions - In today’s media landscape, political discussions too often turn divisive.
  • Lack of reciprocity - One person feels they invest more emotionally or in effort.
  • Unreliability or flakiness - Friends not keeping their promises leads to resentment and loss of trust.
  • Communication styles - Divergent communication styles can cause misunderstandings if they’re not openly addressed.
  • Not listening to advice - Seeking out friends’ advice, but then not taking it, leads to frustration.
  • Differing values - Our values evolve over time and that can lead to friction when they diverge from our friends’ values.
