As much as we think we can get along with everyone, that's not always the case.

There are certain types of people you gravitate toward and making a connection with them is easy. But there are also those with specific personality traits you know very well to steer clear from.

Try as we might, we can't be friends with everyone. The best we can do is be the best version of ourselves and stay within a community of people who you vibe with.


Curious to hear from the types of people strangers online prefer keeping a distance from, Redditor KnownNormie asked:

"What type of person could you never be friends with?"

Some people like in the following examples should be put in their place.

Too Many Theatrics

"Someone who constantly makes everything dramatic."

– Anxiety_Ridden_Camel

Space Hoggers

"Someone who obviously doesn't care about anyone's boundaries."

– Jay4025

Embracing The Dark

"Guilt Trippers"

"Those who think its cool and edgy to be negative about everything."

– Stormflier

How can people who think the world revolves around them expect to maintain or gain friendships?

All About Me

"Self centered people."

–needtofreemyself

The One-Upper

"Yeah, that gets old really fast. I am a reformed one upper. I would also interrupt people. I was hard to take when I was younger. I didn’t learn to STFU until I was forced to take a sales job and discovered just how crap I was socially. The last twenty years I’ve gotten a lot better and now enjoy listening to other people’s stories more than telling my own."

– MobileAccountBecause

Not My Problem

"The one who always blame others."

– Reasonable-mcArdles

We could all benefit from personal growth.

They Wait For Life To Happen

"Someone who doesn’t want to learn more about life and its intricacies. I only want friends who think deeply about things and can have varied conversations on religion, politics, the world, and all of life. This life is too vast and insane not to seek depth in it.

– Glass-Philosopher302

Don't Take Life Too Seriously

"Someone who is always serious and can't take a joke. As well as someone who gets offended on the behalf of others."

– HoarderOfPaper

These are hard "no's."

You Can Bet Your Life On It

"a serial killer."

– LongjumpingReturn555

All Creatures Great And Small

"Someone who doesn't like animals."

– InterestingMall8958

It's complicated to categorize exactly the kind of person I would prefer to not to be friends with, but I know that one of my biggest pet peeves that can jeopardize how much effort I put into all kinds of relationships is a person's lack of punctuality.

It says a lot about an individual who is perpetually late outside of an acceptable window between 5 and 15 mins–with a heads up about their tardiness.

If they're always punctual in regards to work obligations and business meetings but very late to meeting up with you for a coffee date, you're clearly not important enough for them to make an effort to avoid keeping you waiting.

And I got no time for that.

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
