How do you get rid of someone who bugs you?

Be honest.

Fire them. Life is too short to waste your time with people you have no interest in.

You do not have to be around them if you do not want to. You may not have to be up front with them and tell them that you do not want to be their friend unless they are trying to be around you a lot. Unless they are trying to hang out with you all the time, I do not feel it necessary to tell them to go away and that you are not their friend. It may come across as you being a jerk if you just tell someone they are not your friend, especially if they are not trying to be your friend. It’s okay to be nice to someone by saying “hi” without hanging out with them at all.

Also, if these “annoying” people are friends of your friends, you may end up isolating yourself by saying you don’t want to be friends with “everyone” in the group. May come across as selfish. I agree with you though, some people are okay in small doses, but after so long it is best to just not hang around them.

I have just the same problem…... I usually just end up standing there wishing I could go. I need to be more assertive!

If it’s that important to create drama amongst all your friends just tell them. Of course any way you say it will seem mean.

What if some of your friends like the other person? Being around annoying people is a part of living amongst so many people.

If simply saying hi and moving on is too much for you, you may want to try to just not be such a mean person already.

Just walk away. You don’t have to make statements that may alienate others. Why burn your bridges?

How do i make it clear that they’re not my friend

Why do you feel that is necessary to make someone know that you don’t regard them as a friend? That is just weird.

OK, first yer gonna need some chloroform, a large boning knife, and a big bag of lime…

I know a guy in Jersey who’ll size them up for cement boots, if you catch my meaning. Real inexpensive, too!~

Damn, @stratman37—you got in just before me! Bummer. :(

There is no good reason you’ve given that warrants the pain a person receives when you point out that you are not friends. Why be a dick? Some things don’t need to be said. Since nearly everyone has at least one or two redeeming qualities, instead of forcing them to leave, govern your own actions and remove yourself respectfully and gracefully away from their area. You can reconnect with your other friends at a later time. Or you could do some introspection on why you think it’s perfectly okay to “make it clear” to a person that they dont pass the muster in your opinion.

Why do you end up around them so often? If its because they are always around your friends… too bad. If you end up accepting invitations from them, stop doing it. If you end up running into them a lot for random reasons… ok, no answer here.

Just ignore them, they will go away, hopefully.

@Sophief why did you change your name?

I thought my ex was on here, and I didn’t want him to see some of the personal things I said about him. and Dibley was a name he would know, whereas this one, he wouldn’t.

@Sophief Makes good sense to me, Sophie. Have you found out for sure whether he’s here?

@Sophief Okay, that makes sense…but is that you in the picture?

@phillis No. There was just someone following me around leaving comments like it was him. But I haven’t seen them since.

Let me know if you need anything, Sophie.

Tell em to fuck off.

If I say I like you do you promise to go away?

@phillis I will, thank you.

just tell him its better to say the truth….. But at the same way it hard to let them know

Just tell them to BACK OFF!!!!, but don’t forget there feelings:)

Thanks for all the advice…..i just hope it works…...

They might get a little mad but she will understand. Maybe that person is nice and everything but it that that person is not that popular and you don’t want to talk to that person because of that. Or you just don’t want to talk to that person because you feel like your friends will say something about it.

its not even really based on popularity because even the popular people can be annoying…..annoyance does not discriminate

Yeah I Know that happen to me also. Maybe just tell that person…

it happens to everyone all the time

@WCierraA THAT….could possibly work…..unless they develope a tolerance to it!

Do you want me to tell that person for you ???

O wow.

Temporary Restraining Order

Hand out religious tracts and break into loud prayer when you see them.
