There are three ways that we fail at friendship. We may or may not be aware of the fact that we are engaging in, or are a victim of, one or more friendship deal breakers.
Flip Flop Friendsare people who come in and out of the friendship relationship as it pleases them. For kids, it may be the friend who wants to spend time together on the weekend, but ignore you on the bus. For adults, it could be a friend who calls you every day when they need an ear or someone to listen, but then you don't hear from them for long periods when things are going well.
