Hey Ladies, Tell Me About The Friendship "Icks" You Get From Other Women

If you're unsure, an "ick" refers to a behavior or something that someone does that really turns you off. While it's usually something we reserve for romantic prospects, you can also get the ick from a friend.

So, I wanted to specifically ask the women of the BuzzFeed Community, what's a friendship "ick" that you get from other women?

Maybe the ick for you is gossiping. You have a friend who loves to tell any and everyone's business. God love her, but trust that if you want everyone from here to Mars to know something, telling her will definitely accomplish that mission. While you may love her, and it's an ick you can try to overlook, it makes it really hard to trust her, and the gossiping is just too much.

Or maybe the ick for you is flakiness. No matter if it's a vacation that you planned months in advance or a night out that you planned hours before, she always finds a way to accept, but then tells you at the absolute last minute that she can't go.

Maybe the ick for you is a friend who can't take criticism. When you go to someone you love and tell them they've done something to hurt you, you expect them to be understanding. But, sometimes, you find those people in your life who either totally disregard your feelings or start being very defensive. Easy to say, that's gonna be a no from you.

No matter what your friendship "ick" is, ladies, and the story behind it, I would love to know. Feel free to share those icks down in the comments, or if you would like to remain anonymous, you can fill out this form. The most detailed responses may be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post.
