Aversive Interpersonal Behaviors

You know who you are, so the contributing psychologists need not embarrass anyone by naming names as they explore the darker side of interpersonal relationships: those behaviors that are cute and endearing at first, but eventually grow annoying and finally maddening. They include guilt tripping, deliberately embarrassing someone, complaining, excessive egotism, social ostracism, nondirect aggression, and social allergens.
