Which one of these is a good reason to end a friendship?

I've only ended a handful of friendships in my life, and they were for the purpose of my safety (I.E. they were into hard drugs and/or they were practicing criminal activities that were intolerable), usually I don't know about this until later on in the friendship.

Although kids have been a reason too, because I have a hard time accommodating children (I was raised in a military household so I don't really know how children are to be treated and I don't have much patience for disobedience), and if the Mother can't spend any sort of time with me without my having to play parent #2, unless she is really cool and awesome and the kid is fun too, I'm just not willing to do it. I may sound like an ass but it's got to be worth the effort.

Also, friends that constantly question my lifestyle. It's ok to ask questions but when you are calling me out on the basis of the way I choose to live my life, whilst simultaneously being the type of person that says things like "people shouldn't judge each other, we all need to be tolerant/open minded", the paradox of their train of thought alone will push me away, whether or not there was ever friendship.

Those are the main three. The listed, I have no problem. Like Dapped said, most of my friends have something in common with me but as individuals are completely different.

other ; sneaky/mean

All of these seem really shallow to me.

I judge people by their attitudes over an extended period of time. If a person I know is always bitchy/pessimistic/depressed/irritable then I tend to avoid them because they tend to taint my optimism.

Kind of a little harsh aren't you

If they are deceptive and try to use you. I always try to help out people and end up getting suckered; Ive got to learn to be more of a cold bitch.

None of the above. If there are people out there that want to be my friend because they think I'm worthy of them, then I feel they are worthy of me. With the exception of people who set out to hurt others; parents who abuse their children; people who hurt animals; and people who constantly criticize me. In my lifetime, I've purposefully ended three friendships.

The first person I liked, but I didn't like her criticizing my appearance and singleness every time we met up. I wrote her a really nice Dear John letter about how much I loved the years we spent partying together but I thought that it was time for us to move on and go our separate ways.

The second person I liked as well. I found it impossible to set boundaries with her and she wouldn't stop taking advantage of my generosity. She was very toxic for me, so I told her how I felt and we nicely ended our friendship together.

The third person was my friend for a few months, before I found out that she abused her children and her husband. I lost respect for her and could no longer consider her a friend.

Thank goodness, I've never befriended someone who's unkind to animals.

Friends are too much work.

When you find yourself tryi g to find excuses to leave when you hang out with them.

if i have a friend that constantly fucks me around by changing her/his mind when we have already made arrangements

I chose "Other." Lying. Lacking morals. Stealing.

A few years ago I ended a friendship with someone because she couldn't get along with me or the rest of our roommates. She lied about important things and watching this spectacle unfold in my home with new friends was enough to just make me incredibly sick of her and all of her lies (one of which included her being raped). She also found all kinds of novel excuses not to pay her bills.

Being with someone who hurts you because you have feeling with them, you find there company completely boring (I've tried to work around it but the other party seemed like they'd didn’t want to be around me so I left), If they become a bad influence, feeling like you can't be yourself around them (If I can’t be myself and they can’t accept me the way I am then it’s not worth it), something I do that the friend finds annoying( I know someone who's apparently my friend and finds something annoying about me and get angry at me for no reason.. I tried being friends with her but we both see what’s there and only exchange greeting and some small talk, and them having a innocuous trait. I dont think I can bear being with somewhos annoys me I always try but if it gets to stressfull I leave.

if i don't feel myself around them, them having an innocuous trait and someone being too self absorbed, these are all reasons i would fade out a friendship.

If they're boring.

For some reason I have a feeling that the poll creator is a woman, non of those reasons is good enough for a couple of male friends to go separate ways (men, not teenagers, friends, not acquaintance).

I don't usually end friendships. But sometimes they fade. However I recently made an exception for someone who pretended to be a friend, but turned out to be fake. I don't care for fake people. It's dishonest and manipulative. I want no part of it.

They want to do the same things as you but have completely different personality to you.

I tend to be quite tolerant of difference and I have lots of friends who are like me in one respect, but mainly unlike me. However, the things which stop me being friends with people: that innocuous trait which annoys me, finding their company boring (what's the point?), something I do that they find annoying, and being late without apologising.

There are a few there. The one which would be the worst for me is the one who turns up late and doesn't apologise. I don't mind if they're late, but bad manners really do piss me off!

After that the boring one and the one about having a trait which annoys me. I wouldn't even consider them a friend in the first place if I don't enjoy being with them.
