How do you deal with annoying friends?
It is true that in today’s day and age (technology), dealing with annoying “friends” (even if they are even friends to begin with) is hard to do. Even if they are not physically there, they will use other people to represent themselves just to annoy you.I was in a bookstore yesterday accompanying my daughter buying some gift items for her bf. Apparently, I got myself a ream of paper for myself, and as I approached the cashier, this guy with a baby appeared from nowhere, who seems to be a friend to the bookstore staff started yelling incredible insults towards I don’t know who. I am assuming that it was towards me as I was the only one who just approached the cashier. And all the staff were laughing as if chanting for the guy. And mind you, he was not buying anything.And when I walked away, the shouting and chanting stops. while they entertain other buyers too. But I still noticed this guy looking at me with a scheming smile while he watched over his baby walked around the store.In all honesty, I tried not to visit that store as much as I could as I noticed the same scenario over and over again. I have a membership card that I stopped using so that I could appear invisible to them. But the insult never stops. Yes it has been going on for many months if not for years.So in summary, I just simply tried to extend my patience and tell myself that these are narrow-minded people and should not confront them in anyway possible. I know that someone is controlling them.Perhaps one day, I will lose it, but will never feel sorry if that time comes.
How do I deal with annoying friends?
Dealing with annoying friends is a delicate task. If this annoying friend is in the top five of the best friends list it makes it even more difficult. At first I wanted to answer this based on best friends vs friends further down the list, but I will stick to honesty is the best policy. A vast majority of the time the friend being annoying is dealing with some personal issues. They are using being loud and obnoxious or saying outlandish things to get a reaction. These friends do not realize what they are doing. Most of the time they truly believe they are being funny or at the very least not getting on everyones nerve. When in reality the rest of the group is contemplating on whether or not they should avoid their calls and texts. So when they do show up without an invite it is time to put this to an end.In my personal experience you bring it up when the friend is doing the annoying thing (whatever it may be) so it is fresh in everyone's mind. You can either pull the friend to the side or bring it up in front of the group because most likely you are not the only one thinking it. This is where it gets tricky. It is a friend so you don't want to hurt feelings here. But, if you did finally bring it up it probably means you reached a breaking point and are mad or annoyed. The important thing is to stay calm and honestly try and fix the situation. So now bring it up! I would say why do you do that? This will lead to a serious of back and forth until you get the friend to honestly look at themselves and ask why do you do this annoying behavior? Every single time I have been in this situation with one of my friends it turns out they were holding some problem they were dealing with inside and it caused this annoying behavior. At the end of the day if it is a friend you truly care for, you want to help them no matter what. And if you end up being the annoying friend (like I have before) you would want your friends to help and treat you with respect.
How should I deal with my wife's annoying friend?
My wife has this friend that just really frustrates me for some reason. This friend of hers is really incompetent; *She's boring. She has never had an interesting thing to say as long as I've known her. *She is hard to get along with and easily offended. *She runs the powerpoint slides at church sometimes and her timing is way behind, messing everyone up. It is NOT hard to run those slides. *She took pictures for a church event one time with her really expensive camera, they came out blurry and terrible, and she still wanted to charge for them. *She's in college but fails most of her classes despite having an easy major and no job to distract her (her parents are paying for what I call her "failure tuition") *She's plain looking, fat, and makes no attempt to make herself look the least bit more attractive. She just throws on baggy shorts and a men's t-shirt or flannel and no makeup. *She uses my wife to tell all her stupid petty little problems to. So I don't really have to interact with her save for a couple minutes at church each week. My wife knows I don't like her, so when she comes over she makes sure her friend leaves before I get home. I'm just annoyed because I think she's a waste of time. I feel like my wife should have better taste in friends. I've tried giving her a chance and invited her and her boyfriend (also a pretty dull dude) over for dinner. It was the most dull, boring dinner of my life. I suppose that since I don't have to really interact with her, it's not a big deal. But I just get annoyed because I think she's a waste of space. Like, I feel like she's not even worth the 5 cents it takes to turn on a light while she's there visiting at my apartment each week. So whenever I see her I'm reminded of that and frustrated. We're all in our early 20's. How should I deal with my wife's annoying friend?
How should I deal with this annoying friend?
There is this friend of mine that really gets on everyone nerves, he just makes any social situation awkward. He's real socially awkward but in a weird way where he doesn't shut up. He just rambles and rambles about pointless uninteresting **** and will literally cut you off to ramble for an hour straight about irrelevant ****. He also does really rude and disrespectful **** like when he cuts you off and you try to interrupt back he will raise his voice and roll his eyes. Also he will plain out insult someone but try to cover it up by saying no offence before it. I mean he's real dorky but that's not why people hate him 2 weeks ago there was a party out in the woods and I ran into him on the way so I thought I'd be nice and tell him to tag along even though my friends told me not to. Well it ended up where my friend started drama by telling this dude we don't even know " no offence but your girlfriend seems dumb as rocks". The dude asked him to repeat himself 3 times and my friend stupidly said it again and on the 3rd The dude ended up throwing my friend to the ground. At first my friend thought it was a joke and started laughing until about the 3rd time he was slammed. Then my friend something along the lines of you just can't handle hearing the truth and the dude almost blasted him but everybody broke it up and we left before something else happened. Then my friend was acting like he was a victim and that dude was just a big bully.
What do I do about an annoying friend?
The hostility, complete with threats, this kid expressed upon not getting immediate gratification from you for listening to him is concerning.Have you ever tried actually talking to this guy about his behavior and why it is so off-putting? I mean really leveling with him. You don’t need to be mean about it, but you can just point out that he tries to monopolize conversations constantly, refusing to let others speak.His threats are completely unacceptable and you should just tell him that you will not tolerate them, period. You will give him one chance, just one, and if he does not change his behavior and cease with the threats, you can not be friends with him.If he objects or denies what he is doing is wrong, you can tell him that you are so sorry, but you can’t be friends with someone who is a conversation hog, harasses you and threatens to hack your social media accounts for revenge simply because you didn’t call him back when he demanded you to.If he truly listens and begins a dialogue about how to curb his behavior, it will help him and you. He would end up a better person for it, certainly.Before you speak to him, change all your passwords. Make them very difficult and something he couldn’t possibly guess, just in case. I’d also recommend having a friend wait out of sight during the intervention, on the off-hand chance he becomes violent or makes more dangerous threats. I’d also recommend having the conversation in a public space, like a park or mall. Being in public may temper his reaction to the point where he actually stops to listen to you.If this kid is just an A-hole, and flies of the handle, you can tell him your next stop will be the police station for a restraining order against him. Unless he’s seriously mentally disturbed, the promise of a restraining order should be enough to rid yourself of him.Hopefully, he will acknowledge his bad behavior and apologize for it. I wish you luck.
How do I get an annoying friend to shut up?
You can do what my friend has done to me on a couple of occasions. She has said:“I think you need your hearing checked, because you seem to be talking over me a lot”.This is perfectly true. But she does not get that the reason I have to talk over her on occasions is because otherwise I will not get in a word edgewise!We are still good friends I should mention.The thing is, if a friend is becoming habitually annoying to you in this way, it may be time for you to think about parting ways. Or at least distancing yourself so you do not see them often enough for them to become too annoying.I have come across people whose conversations I have found less than stimulating. You have to weigh up the circumstance. If this is a friend you really do not want to lose you try to find ways around it. Change the conversation. Interject at an appropriate time. Politely say you must dash as something has cropped up.If it is in a phone conversation it is much easier. You just say “sorry my other phone is ringing, must go”.Face to face of course it is more difficult. Most of us do not wish to hurt others feelings. Another polite way of doing it would put your hand to your forehead and say:“Do you mind if we have this conversation another time, I have a splitting headache”, and just hope that ‘the other time’ never comes about. But then it will be up to you to avoid it in the first place.
How To Deal With My Annoying Vegetarian Friend?
My friend is one of those really annoying preachy and pretentious vegetarians. If you're vegetarian, don't be offended; I know other vegetarians and I have no problem with them, just her. If I dare to eat a ham sandwich in her presence, she makes disgusted faces at it until I've finished eating, and then she tells me that I should become a vegetarian like she is, and how she's got a healthier lifestyle and how she's going to live longer (while sitting there stuffing chocolate and crisps in her mouth). And if I talk about any sort of meat-related food with her ("Mmm, this steak is so good.") she stares at me until I ask her what's wrong and she snaps "I'm a vegetarian, Jade! I don't want to hear about that!" She's p*ssing me off so much that I'm seriously considering ditching her, but I'd prefer to avoid that. How should I deal with her?
How to deal with clingy and annoying friends?
Maybe not to voice to her that you want her to back off as you will upset her and also you odviously like her friendship so you do not want to ruin it as you want her company sometimes! I can understand, as a lot of people do like time away to themselves to think and reflect and to some people they will not understand this and may wonder why you would want this! So it is best to tell a small white lie that results in better for the both of you and make up an excuse of something you are busy with! This could involve family that live near, something you have been told to do around the house, somewhere you need to go! Whatever excuse you make, you can be polite and say, 'But can we see each other another day?' as this benefits you both! You get the time you need to relax and chill alone and your friend knows you want her company when the time is convinient! Also this means when you are together you will be in a better mood, so it is what is best for both of you! Hope this helps xxxxxxxxxxxxx
My best friend is an annoying weeaboo, how to deal with her?
Basically a weeaboo is a anime lover who isn't even asian and wants to be japanese because of their love for anime. There's like this anime J-Pop thing called Vocaloid( i know vocaloid is more than that but I'm trying to explain it if some people don't know) and she only knows a few songs and says she listens to them all the time and calls herself a big fan and only knows like 3 songs and 7 of the thousands of characters and songs they have. She also just sings those fe songs over and over again and says she's a true fan. She also keeps singing Splash!Free whenever she's bored and writes fan fiction about it. She also says she likes whatever anime i say the name of and pretends to like the characters even if she doesnt even watch the anime, she's like trying to be a fake fan. Also whenever she talks, she replaces stupid with BAKA, japanese for stupid, and doesnt even say it correctly because she's white and doesnt have the slightest clue on how to pronounce japanese words. She also replaces kawaii with cute, and says desu to act japanese. Heck, she even bought a clip on cat tail. She also believes that ghosts,demons and vampires are attracted to her special aura,and that she has a better sense of smell than anyone. i have one other friend who finds this as annoying as much as i do, as we are both actually anime lovers who have watched lots of anime and read manga and we don't act like that. i have another friend who also finds this slightly annoying, but not as much as we do.
