We all make friendship errors, and likely more than any other errors in life--our errors with relationships may be the most remembered.
What errors have harmed your friendships the most?
Distrust
Not staying true to your word or using honesty in friendships surely harms and possibly breaks a friendship. Trust is a key friendship element.
One way conversations
Friendships where your focus is more about you than your friend is surely a way to break up a good relationship.
Criticism
Too much criticism will greatly harm a friendship. We have to be open minded to who are friends are and what they choose.
Fair weather friends
To be a friend only when situations are positive is not a way to be a good friend.
Too serious
There needs to be time for fun in friendships--if your relationship is too serious, you may not be able to reach the depths of friendship possible.
Little investment
Friendships require a substantial investment of time and attention.
Too much talk, too little action
Friendship is not based on talk alone, good friends share meaningful experiences as much or more than talk.
Too often in life we may take a cavaliar attitude towards friendship when, in truth, friendship is a key element to living a good life. Onward.
