5
People who engage in gossip and negative talk about others are often perceived as untrustworthy.
6
While a healthy dose of competition can be motivating, constantly trying to outshine others can make you seem insecure and arrogant.

Being unreliable can damage trust and make it difficult to maintain relationship.
