In real life, the bad guys aren t as easy to identify as those on Saturday morning cartoons. Abandoners start a relationship but can t finish it. Often, abandoners have been abandoned themselves. Sometimes, afraid of intimacy, they prefer shallow acquaintances. Others are looking for perfect friends, and they leave when the cracks start showing.
Critics take a parental role with everyone they know.
More concerned with confronting errors than making connections, critics are judgmental, speak the truth without love, and have no room for grace or forgiveness. Irresponsibles don t take care of themselves or others. They have problems with delaying gratification, they don t consider the consequences of their actions, and they don t follow through on their commitments. They re like grown-up children. They can t be depended on to do what they say .
