Being a psychologist obviously brings introspective capabilities. I have came to realise my pattern of breaking bonds with people under three conditions;
- When they complain/make insuniating comments when one is late to a casual coffee date.
- When they choose to eat smelly animal products (chicken/beef or eggs) near me, when they clearly know I am a vegan. (They either do not have the empathy, or they do not respect me enough- either way; I feel ignored.)
- Luckily this happens very rarely- when people are more money oriented compared to our relationship. When they openly asks for the price they paid for coffee, a sandwich, or a ticket without giving you the time to pay back.
I choose to cut these people off directly without trying to tell them why it bothers me, because I believe these are all characteristic attitudes- to sum up, I dare bot continue relationships with stingy people.
Stingy with their time, food choices, and money.
There are always plenty of people in the world that will be generous in friendships.
