The writer's 2001 book is being adapted into a film starring Dunst, Simon Pegg and Jeff Bridges.
Commenting on his relationship with the cast, Young told The Spectator: "[Dunst] overheard me giving the producer a 'note' on her performance in a particular scene.
"At the time, I didn't think of it as a criticism, more as a helpful bit of advice, and the producer took it in that spirit. But Kirsten overheard this exchange and interpreted it as a complaint about her acting ability.
"It was after this, apparently, that she took Bob [Weide, director] to one side and asked if I could be kept at arm's length in future."
How To Lose Friends & Alienate People is scheduled for release on October 3.
