A lot of my friends do not text/type correctly, or they are the type who get offended incredibly easily when the thing being talked about is not offensive and they just take it that way. So far this year, the only thing to end any relationships (friend wise) is the simple fact that I stated in the beginning of the friendship, and multiple times afterward that the only thing I am looking for is friendship. Six months in they ask "so do you ever see us dating/do you have an approximate of when you could like me?" Idiotic questions, and it is like...I SAID I WANT A FRIEND. So I have lost a total of three people I thought were genuinely my friends over the fact that I am not looking for a relationship.
In the past I lost two friendships due to poor communication/lack of understanding in what I say. I tend to use larger words than they do, and sometimes they mistake them for something else and get so upset to the point they will continue to defend instead of listen, and when given the responses to THEIR questions they are set in their minds that I am angry, or said something mean when I did not at all and the frustration leads me to abandoning the conversation and then if they message me later that is fine, but until they think it over and analyze things I tend to just...leave it due to awkwardness and being afraid that if I say something they will take it the wrong way again.
