My one sister yells at me all the time, but we're actally pretty close. I pretty much just ignore her when she yells now; if it were anyone else in my family I'm cold to them for the rest of the day, but I'm bad at holding grudges. :)

If anyone outside my family yelled at me ( besides soccer teammates and coaches) I would probably cry later. But most everyone I know is super nice to me; that's why it would cut so deep if that were to change.

As for personality traits: Deceiving, hateful, ignoring, hypocritical, unrelenting,

Well that's usually pretty hard to say since every person is different. I don't know, there are some people who I'm okay with them doing certain things and others who I'd be totally angry with if they did that because I have different expectations of every single person I meet. For instance, if there was a person who is generally pretty selfish and they did something inconsiderate to me or to others, I'll just brush it off because that's just how they are and they would most likely be a not-so-close friend in the first place. However, if one of my close friends were to do this to me or someone else and depending on the severity of this inconsiderate behavior, I may suddenly view them in a very different light and it would be difficult for me to see them the way they were before.

But generally speaking, usually traits that would cause me to end friendships would be if our moral views of the world are so incompatible that it affects everything we do, if they are extremely inconsiderate and selfish, if they are compulsive liars, if they are unbelievably arrogant (some do this in a joking way but it's when they're serious about it), and if they keep pressuring me to do things I don't like (they can do whatever they want, just as long as they don't constantly try to get me involved when I keep saying no).

It may seem like there are a lot of things that tick me off but my threshold for what I consider as going too far in being arrogant or selfish or inconsiderate is pretty high. I rarely ever break off any friendships unless I feel like the friendship is starting to mess with my happiness and potentially my life. Most of the time, friendships just fade for me to the point where we're simply acquaintances so there usually is no clear cut "ending it" involved.

I don't think I could be friends with someone I don't trust, so I'd have to rank untrustworthiness high on my list of traits that would cause me to end a friendship.

Cruelty and unkindness are also traits I can't stand in people.

If someone is my friend I would never end that friendship. Friends should always stick together. It doesn't mean that I would hang out with all the time, but the only thing that would make me end a friendship is if they have ended it. Otherwise I stick with my friends.
