How to tell someone it is time to leave without being rude?
Sounds like you've answered yourself in your question. Be honest, say that you love to visit with them and you've had a great time, but you are exhausted and want to go on to bed. And that you'll see them later....my husband and I have had to do that, and I felt "funny" at first doing it, but they took it with a grain of salt and didn't think any more about it, we are all still friends and hang out.
How do you get people to leave you alone without being rude?
I have always been what you considered the "odd duck" of the group--having a high pitched Mickey Mouse type voice, stuttering frequently or getting mixed up with my words in the middle of a sentence, and having random ticks. As you can imagine, I got picked on constantly throughout high school as much as I would try to stay to myself and say nothing (They would come up to me directly and start bothering me!) The most memorable event was when I wrote an essay that the principal was impressed with and he had me read it at a class assembly...the entire time, snickers and giggles rippled throughout the audience, and I never heard the end of it for the rest of the school year. Given all that, I don't like socializing in public and stay to myself as often as I can--but it seems as though the more I try to withdraw, the more everyone chases, both at work and at college to a point where I have classmates coming and sitting at my table in the cafeteria asking me questions, or workmates playfully pushing me into their car saying, "You were a no show at two office parties, this one is an exception!" While no one of course makes fun of me to my face, I know for a fact they more than likely do it behind my back, and I'm just tired of being the butt of every joke and the comedic relief of a party for the wrong reasons--it's like the spotlight is always on me no matter what! I don't want to be rude, I just want to be left alone for once. How do you do that without being mean and nasty?
I'm a quiet person, how do I get people to leave me alone without getting violent?
I wonder what a neutral bystander would see, watching you wanting to MYOB and other people becoming toxic around you.When I want to MYOB, nobody ever bothers me. They may start speaking; I give a brusque reply and return to my book, or my knitting, or my PC. My body language appropriately signals my disinterest in engaging. They move on.Therefore, I wonder if you are somehow putting yourself in a place where it is simply not the norm to be uninvolved; that perhaps you are (deliberately?) getting in their way and then getting angry when you’re sitting in the middle of the sidewalk, for example, forcing them to walk around you.Stay out of crowded places; don’t hog a table at at coffee shop unless you are buying enough coffee and food to feed the entire table you are occupying; don’t spread all over an entire row of airport seats during a snowstorm when there are mothers with babies who need to sit, too.I have not found it to be the case that people persist in trying to engage with me under most circumstances, once I have made it clear I am not interested. I never have to even begin to approach anger, let alone violence.
What to say back to rude people???
I am very petite (about 5'3 and 100lbs,) and I am sick and tired of people making rude remarks about how small i am. I dont want to be rude back, but i about just had it and I want to know if you guys can help me come up with some kind of smart *** comments i can say back to them, when they say something about me being short or small. Thanks to everyone for your replys...
How can I make the marine recruiter leave me alone?
Basically he was talking to me for awhile and I gave him my number. But now I realized it was a big mistake because Im not that interested in the marines. However, he keeps calling me from different numbers so I never know who's calling, and sometimes even texts my cell. Im not a mean person and I can't be rude to him. He has more pressure than a car sales man. Do they get paid for this work? What's a good way for him to leave me alone?
How do I get a colleague to leave me alone?
Thank you for the A2A.If a “colleague” (which, to me, implies an office of some sort) is talking ABOUT you to anyone and it’s clearly untrue, (such as claiming he wrote something that you clearly did), you have a right to bring it to someone’s attention.Many people on Quora work outside of the United States, so I can’t address business practices from other countries.I tend to WANT to be noticed by personality or ability, and not be looks, so I wear a lot of black to mentally “fade into the background.” If someone uses my name — good or bad — and I find out about it, I will either thank them (if it’s complimentary) or rectify the issue (often in writing) if I am unjustly “blamed” for something.If this is simply a coworker or someone who doesn’t get along with you, or someone at the company who has been there longer and is just not warming up to you, that’s an entirely different (and less serious) situation.In those cases, you do nothing. People who know you will “know” the truth and those who don’t know you aren’t important. Also, a lot of people are often surprised when you actually meet or exceed their expectations, but it takes a while.
How do I ignore someone without being rude?
Ignoring some one is itself rude in some levels.well if a person behaves or does things such that you will have to ignore that person then the problem is that persons not yours…yes if will cause irreparable wounds most of the time…but some people are worth to be ignored after all that is what they are worth!I in my youth happened to like a girl who was around, i used to meet her now and then in some office in Bangalore, well I felt like liking her and I tried to talk to her, rather I happened to play the marriage game with her and she didnt show any interest…well after some years I happened to meet a very attractive girl in the same office in Bangalore and magic happened the person who ignored me started throwing her self at me…..at that time I could only ignore her and do you know what happened?The worst I can think of, I am still recovering from the wounds of those days! so better be care full, don’t put your self in a position to ignore some one. Be patient and try to talk and make relationships with people who appeal to you and your set standards. i.e. your preference is what matters after all it is your life!One advice or statistics is that there are many human being on this earth already and you have a larger domain to choose from, ok? understood?Thanks for readingRadheevar
How can I politely ask someone to leave me alone?
Don’t ask. Do not leave any room open for interpretation. NEVER apologize because this establishes a dynamic that an unstable person might interpret as you somehow being in the wrong. Simply tell this person that you need them to leave you alone. If you have a reason why this is the case, give this reason. State, and prepare to impose, a consequence if your desire to be left alone is not met. Consequences are only appropriate if the problem is particularly intrusive.The strength of your response should be proportional to the actual offense.Examples:No, I am not able to join you for dinner. Even if I felt that such an interaction was appropriate, I still need to get home so that I can take care of my family responsibilities.Excuse me Fred, but when you constantly interrupt me at work, this has an impact on my productivity. I need you to leave me alone. If this behavior continues, I will have to go to HR.I understand that you have feelings for me, but these feelings are not reciprocated. This constant texting has got to stop. Do not communicate with me further. I am prepared to file a digital harassment complaint against you if these behaviors persist.Prepare to consult with the appropriate professionals if behaviors escalate or continue.Also, be fair, and do not engage further with this person. If you expect this person to leave you alone, you need to leave them alone as well. No more personal phone calls, texts, facebook posts, etc.
