Whilst thinking about this question, I've come to the realisation that a belief in conspiracy theories is much more common than it really ought to be, in my friendship groups. I personally find that shit pretty tiresome, particularly when I ask them to provide proof or backing from a reliable source, and yet again, for the umpteenth time, they can't.
I remember on my stag weekend, this sort of thing came up, when one of them made the assumption that everybody else, on that weekend, would also subscribe to the same opinions that he did. Fortunately, this didn't spoil the mood, as I would have been pretty pissed off with him, if it had have done.
Thinking about it, some of the others aren't especially good at understanding that not everybody thinks the same way, either...
I have multiple best friends and I dislike two things about all of them.
[Minor] They lack ambition and talent. A lot of them have talent but they don't care or work for it. They don't even have big goals. They're lazy. I wish my friend circle was more ambitious and hard working... But to each their own.
[Major] All of them are cheaters. I spoke to each of them about it. They all said that they'd gladly cheat on their wives. Only one of my best friends has been married and he has already cheated on his wife. And others are shamelessly admitting that they would do it as well in future. Only one of them refuses to do so, I hope he stays true to his words.
A good handful of my friends are huge spenders and pretty materialistic in things like clothes, jewelry, technology... I mean they have the money for it, but keeping up and seeing their trends gets tiresome for me. I've become a bit of a spender myself cause of them, but only for things like experiences (dining out, trips, concerts, art shows...)
I also have a close friend who's social media obsessed, always posting her life for others to see... takes away from truly living in the moment when a camera or phone is in your face, and really living out an experience and memory. But have to admit, she's a good photographer and takes majority of my picturesque pictures and has taught me to look natural infront of a camera 🙈

My best friend is too 😂 absolutely love her. Another thing she'll do is complain about anything and everything and when I suggest solutions to her problems she always has an excuse why she can't take my advice. Drives me insane but after 18+ years I've learned to live with it.
Well, I basically don't have any yet but the closest friend and why I don't feel like I connect with them as much is that he pretty much leads most of the time. Whatever he wants to do is what we do. I'd consider myself pretty open to doing what other people like but when I share what I like it feels like it's not always embraced or enjoyed unless it's something he personally likes. It's hard to say because it's so bias coming from my end but I have another friend that totally embraces whatever I share with him. They see value in it. So that's kind of what stinks for the most part with one friend I'm along for the ride and embrace whatever he does. I do get moments of choice but it's based on his interests. It's hard to say this without another speaking to it but it's kind of like that. But overall I do have fun with him
No, I dont like it. she is more of a second wife. Like this weekend I drove my real wife 600 miles to her house should she can animal sit and keep a eye on her house. While she goes on a vacation.
While I was there. She gave me a honey do list. So I spent my holiday working on her house and car. I just got back 1am this morning so I can be at work. Then next weekend I have to go back and get her.
Look you said least favorite thing. Well them are it. She also has a ton of positive traits and we always been there for each other. No matter the shit was. She is my bestest friend. She was even my best man at my wedding and I'm going to be her bridesmaid when or if she ever gets married.
Sure there is times I feel negative thoughts, but for 40 years we always been there, like they say friends are there for the happy times and the sad times.
Their political, religious and sexual views. It's surprising how people can masquerade as reasonable, well-adjusted individuals in most of their daily life and then expose themselves as batshit crazy lunatics in some other areas.
The amount of people in my friend circles who now unironically adhere to the idea that COVID is a conspiracy manufactured by the "deep state" trying to take over the world, is uncomfortable.
It's annoying how they call themselves my 'best friends' but they aren't. Their political biasedness, close mindedness and some unreasonable expectations put me off. We're fairly close and talk about stuff but I don't have a 'best friend' like bond with them from my side.
I don’t have a best friend in particular, but my friend group has such a hard time remembering to include me in things. That’s pretty much the worst thing.
I have two best friends. One is a little too concerned with her social media following which can get annoying. The other gets very mopey sometimes when she’s single, which she currently is.
In one case he's constantly full of energy and I can only hang out with him once a week in order to stay sane. In the other case, she always sets her heart on guys who don't want commitment where she's their girlfriend but they're not her boyfriend.
He's horrible to live with as a roommate because he needs his mum to clean up after him. Dishes and laundry dont clean themselves. You also dont need to spend an hour in the shower and waste the hot water.
The sex or not to have sex question. My best friends are female. You are best friends because one or both of you dont want to date. But sometimes there are weir moments of sexual attraction.
Well, the answer is NO because over the years I have understood how I am and also that I am not a person meant for friendships. It is because of how I am as a person.
Hence, I only keep it acquaintances now. You can say it is a nonissue for me.
Totally agree about having a D hence the missing D is the least favorite thing about them. This should help with the missing D keeping you up all night ;)
