Is there a nice way to tell someone that you don't care about what they have to say?
basically, you are asking how to say, "why don't you just shut up already?" in a polite way..interesting :)depending on who that person is, you can go with one of the below:well, unless you have a PhD in _fill_in_the_blank_, it's still up for a debate..didn't you make the opposite point last week?that's so interesting but let's give someone else a chance to have a sayyou appear to be knowledgeable on many topics, in fact, on almost everything.. how did you manage that?it's actually amazing how you linked proper hamster washing techniques to your life.. your life must be fascinating!you always give me so much to think about.. let me process this information and i will let you know if i have any questions..what you say is important.. i would not want to take credit for all of your inputs - can you speak with *then direct this person to go and annoy someone else*i would like to hear more about this - all the details.. can it wait until i am done with this project?it's amazing how you manage it all - life, work, and even social life.. but let's stick to immediate topic at hand..*give a person a dirty look, then in a tone of a psychologist say* thank you for sharing your opinion.. or just pretend that the person didn't say anything - after a couple of tries, this person will stop talking due to lack of audience.
How to tell someone you don't like them anymore?
Start calling him brother...he should get the hint.
How do you tell someone who likes you that you don't like them nicely?
When I was younger I (naively) thought I could politely explain to a guy who had a crush on me, that he and I should be just friends. I would nicely explain to him that I liked him as friend only, and that I truly cared about him (which I usually did). I later realised that most guys can't handle rejection, the guy would stalk me, pester me, insult me, threaten me and conjure up the most ridiculous reasons why I didn't want to date him. A few of them, developed a deep contempt and hatred for me. Apparently, the fact that I wasn't interested in dating them, made them feel inferior, and they concluded that I was too arrogant. One of the guys accused me of not dating him because his English wasn't as good as mine, another said it was because he wasn't tall enough, another said it was because he wasn't rich enough. Words which I never even said to them, so you can imagine how perplexed I was! The more I explained, the more aggressive they became, so I had to end all of those “friendships”.Now I'm slightly older and much wiser, I use less words; I realised that words don't change peoples’minds, they will believe what they want to believe. So the less you say in this matter, the better for you, infact you don't have to tell him anything . Nowadays, if a guy, whom I'm not interested in, asks me out, I say no and I don't offer any explanation, I don't even offer to be just friends. And If he pesters me for a reason why, then I "ghost” him. “Ghosting” here means I don't answer his calls, don't reply his messages, don't say a word if I see him passing by, i dont even look in his direction, I screen him out completely! I know it sounds bad, but it's very effective, believe me, I've tried it a number of times now! There is power in silence!
How do you tell someone you don't want to talk on the phone?
You could answer and tell her that you have something else to do and can't talk at the moment. Or you could take the call, talk for a few minutes then tell her you enjoyed her call but have to go since you have a previous engagement.
How do you tell someone you don't want to talk to them anymore?
Personally, I don’t normally have to even say anything. I often use the ‘silent’ & ‘delayed’ treatment and soon they would just get the idea implicitly.For example, if this someone:Calls you, you have to let it be a missed call. Call back a few hours later (depending on your relationship / context)Messages you, again reply only after some time, never immediate.Talks to you face to face, you just keep quiet most of the time and let the person do the talking. By not engaging, he/she would soon realize that you’re not interested. Nobody would continue interacting with someone who doesn’t reciprocate.But for whatever reason the above suggestions don’t work, and you must tell them explicitly, then consider:Telling them the reason why; Because you don’t have the time, because you have some other commitments, because you can’t handle too many relationships/friendships etc. Never point that the problem is with the other party. We don’t want to burn bridges, do we? The use of reason will soften the blow. More often than not, the reasons don’t really matter. When they get the message that you don’t wish to talk to them anymore, they’ll stop.How you say matters more than what you say. I have very little information on who this person you are trying to dis-engage with. So to be safe, say in a very cordial, friendly manner. Watch your tone, your body language and expression. After all, we are trying to have 1 less friend / acquaintance, not have 1 more enemy.
How to tell someone you don't want to be friends with them nicely.?
Okay so Im friends with this girl and she's really annoying. her names andrea. So Andrea is really irritating me. she always stutters and doesnt make sense. She lies alot too and makes disgusting comments that dont even go with our conversations. No of my friends and I like her but we feel bad because she has no friends. (btw where in 8 th grade) Andrea is obsessed with the movies rise of the guardians and peter pan. which i think is kinda awkward when me and my friends talk about one direction, justin bieber, josh hutcherson, liam hemsworth, etc.. and she talks about peter pan. She always lies about things once she told me she went to a justin bieber concert and i asked her to send me the pix and she admited she lied to me. also she just agrees with everybody even if she doesnt think their right. she rights me wierd letters too. the wierdest one was "i know we only met last year but i know our realtionship is strong. I wanna be with you forevea and eva" i got kinda wierded out by this because i am not a lesbian. also she always says i know im wierd please dont be mad at me. i feel kinda bad fir her but when she told me this it was the last straw... so in science on Friday there was a thermometer on the table and she picked it up and said "oh a thermometer hey Krista (me) im gonna put it up ur butt" i was just staring at her like da fuq u just say *****. i just said "thats disgusting" and then Andrea said "oh i dont mean it" and im just sitting there with a disgusted look on my face thinking then why the fuq would u say that!! I dont know a nice way to tell her i dont want to be her friend. i always start but then i dont finish because im scared shes gonna cry. also she tells me im her best friend which makes it even worse! what do i do?? i need answers fast please thanks!
