This was my answer too. I thought... my friends have never said I would "never do anything" because all the things people think other people would never do -- I'd totally do! In fact it mostly goes the other way, e.g. "You'll cut your hair within a couple years", "You'll never wait until the baby is born to find out the sex". You'd think everyone would figure out by now that the #1 most effective way to get me to do something is to insist I never will do it.
I agree with Nebbie. When people tell me I'll never do something, that's often times a great motivator to do precisely that. It's insulting when people try to define you or claim they know you better than you know your own self.
And I don't think it's something *friends* are actually likely to say. Acquaintances perhaps, family maybe, but not good friends. Friends generally are the ones encouraging you, telling you you can do something when you're feeling like you can't.
