Though her romantic relationship with Ted had a rocky start, Robin became fast friends with Marshall, Lily, and Barney. It wasn’t long before Robin became a permanent member of the group. Though the group quickly developed a fondness for her, there were many qualities and actions that shouldn’t have been overlooked.
Robin often acted selfishly and created unnecessary discomfort and stress amongst the group. It’s in these moments that Lily, Marshall, Barney, and Ted should’ve reconsidered their friendship with Robin. Despite Robin’s fun and quirky personality, her inconsiderate nature should’ve prompted her removal from the group.

As soon as the door closed, Robin returned to kiss Ted, giving Ted false hope. When she came back from her trip, Ted asked her if she had feelings for him and she confessed that she didn’t.
