How do I tell my friend politely that they are annoying?
This seems to be the other side of the coin of a question I just answered about being “brutally honest.”In my experience, friends like this are not intending to be malicious. While I agree with Sapphire Silver’s answer, I disagree vehemently with taking a “blunt” approach. On the contrary, you need to take considerable care and sensitivity when approaching her.If you do “love” her, as you state, and you want what’s best for not only yourself, and her, but also the relationship between you two, you will need to understand the consequences of how you approach her with this.The best approach I’ve ever known is to take things slowly in your approach. For example, a conversation might go like this:[In private, definitely not in public, and not when you are irritated or annoyed.]“[Friend], I need to talk to you about something really delicate.”Her: “Okaaaaay.”You: “It’s been hard to get up the courage to talk to you about this, because I don’t want to upset you.”At this point, she will likely be quite curious about what you have to say, but the “entry price” to learning this is that she will have to not get emotionally riled up about hearing bad news.Assuming she agrees in some fashion (e.g., “You can tell me anything,” or “I promise I won’t hold anything against you,” etc.), then you can tell her that she has some habits that make it difficult to enjoy having her around.I’d avoid words like “irritating,” “annoying,” or “inappropriate” if at all possible. I’d also avoid naming specific instances or moments, which she will want to know about. Instead, try to focus on general behavior (interruptions, non-sequitur changes in conversation, topics of conversation that may not be of interest to those around her such as the singer, etc.). If you give her specifics, she is likely to try to defend those specific actions, rather than listen to the main point you are trying to make.Remember that the purpose of such a conversation is to preserve the relationship between you, even improve it. If that is not your goal, or your desire, then you can feel free to ignore this advice and be as “blunt’ as you wish - you’ll find that you will have no shortage of people who will gladly avoid you if that becomes your modus operandi.
How do I get rid of an annoying friend but in a polite way?
It is actually hard for me to advise you. I have one annoying friend but she turned out to be the greatest for me too. She is one of my bestfriends. We known each other since I was 15 years old. I think it is about 15 years + we are friends to each other now. Can’t you be patient? Sometimes, this kind of friend is amazing in its way. If you really need to get rid of them, just tell them why they are considered annoying to you. Say calmly. I did say those things to my friend. No surprise. We fought for a while but she is a good friend. She changed a little of her habit for me. Though not all, the progress is enough for me. She showed me that she is willing to change a little bit of her side. I am willing to compromise the rest with her. So, try your best to hold on.
How do I stop hanging out with an annoying friend politely?
Why do you have to babysit and cultivate this guys life for him? Are you both young adults? I wholeheartedly disagree with anyone who would suggest to you that you should take it upon yourself to enrich this person's life for him – that doesn't help anybody. It waste your time, and it wastes his opportunity to learn how to stand on his own two social feet.Does this friend get along with the people that you go out with? If so, what's the problem? You found another member of your tribe. If he doesn't get along with people that you hang out with, keep hanging out with them. That's your choice.To take on the responsibility of cultivating somebody else's life? Save it for parenthood and your best friends. Don't make the assumption that you have to change this person's world.And don't be afraid if somebody decides to have a negative attitude about you for a while. It's inevitable. We don't all get along. You may not like this answe, but I'm not answering to give you the right call, but to provoke you into making a choice with conviction, which is the best thing you can do for all involved.\U0001f919\U0001f3fc Thanks for the a2a. You're not an easy spot, and that's a fact. But you have to like your own decisions.
How do I get rid of a annoying and bossy friend?
Sometimes life will bring you to a point where you may have to decide how much someone brings to your life versus takes away from it. I'd first suggest you consider how important this fella really is to you and why. If he is, then you have to be patient with him. People don't get the way they are overnight, hence it’s going to take a while for them to change if they are even capable. People who are invested in you will be willing to do their best to meet your needs. There will also be some that although they may want to just aren't capable of the change you want to see in them. I'd also think long and hard about how much a person really should be expected to change for someone else in the first place. My best advice is to set limits with this friend. Meaning if you are willing to tough it out with them for awhile, be consistent in letting him know what you want/prefer/need and/or what you don’t. Either one of two things will happen, either this friend will be able to adapt enough for your friendship to stay intact or grow or you’ll decide to love them from a distance and begin to put space between you and them. There is one other thing to consider that may spur some growth in you too. Have you spent some time truly looking at why he is so annoying to you and what might be an underlying reason he is or you perceive him as bossy? Understanding why someone is the way he or she is, can be the first step to accepting them. You can then decide that you accept them as they are but also determine whether there is a place for them in your life despite their shortcomings reasonable or not. True friends are not perfect and are extremely hard to find in this world so despite his flaws, if he's been otherwise good to you or for you then consider carefully what you could be giving up in place of acceptance. Either way, it'll all work out the way it's supposed to in the end. We can only control who we are and what we do ourselves. Best of luck.
How canI get rid of an annoying friend?
I have this friend. We were at good terms until recently. Now she has met a guy and they have started dating. She has been a good person for a lot of time. But recently, she changed everything. Wants to move away abroad to Canada. And talks to me only when she is in need of something. I am not comfortable with this. all for one guy whom she started dating after an overnight chat.Plus the fact that her boyfriend is crap. And so she keeps texting me every now and then. Because her boyfriend is busy and she cant distirb him but apparently I am so free for everything.And that her boyfriend is an emotionally abusing person. Maybe even physically.She doesn’t want to leave him. And doesn’t want to be treated to bad. We have tried all options for this i.e. ignoring, complacence etc. But nothing works on him. She asks me for a lot of advice but never follows them and then repents that she had.And in turn she keeps falling back on me. I dont want to hurt her. But it’s getting too much for me. I, as a girl, understand that it’s tough. But my life is getting messed up.I have a few years of graduation left. How do I deal with this. I cant go straight up and say go away. It’s gonna be too harsh.P.S. We were just 2 people who talked to each other. I am fairly social and she isn’t. My friends have told me that the guy she is dating is not a good guy. He is just horny for sex. But my friend.won’t listen to me
How can I (nicely) get rid of an annoying girl that wants to be my friend?
Hi! So there is this girl that goes to my school, who lives in my street and also catches the bus with me every morning. She really wants to be my friend, and I wouldn't have a problem with that if she was... less annoying? Firstly, she always invites herself over to my house. She just says "I'm coming to your house this afternoon, right?" and I just say "Yeah...". I don't want to sound like a horrible person, I gave her a chance and she just keeps asking me about all of my personal stuff and also rummages through my stuff and asking pointless questions and inviting herself to my house. Honestly, sometimes I feel like saying "f*** off!!!!!" but I could never say that to her XD!! How can I nicely sort of... get rid of her? Thanks :)
How to nicely get rid of an annoying classmate?
Hi! So I'm a freshmen in highschool and I'm taking an art class where I sit next to an um...odd girl. I hate to judge people on their appearances but she looks like she's literally in 4th grade (she has a kiddie backpack and clothes and all that). She started talking to me about 1 week into the school year and I tried to be polite and talk casually back. But the thing is I feel bad cuz her voice is really high-pitched and she mumbles so I can't understand a word she's saying half the time. It wasn't that bad in the beginning of the school year but now it's getting extremely annoying. I can't get any of my work done because she's litereally clinging to me and playing with my hair or making me help her with her drawing. Now she follows me outside of the class to my after school sport where she just sits there and watches me practice O__O It's not only that's she's annoying but she's also really rude. (she called me fat because I weigh more then her. She's like 4'10" and 90 pounds!!) I feel like I'm being stalked by a child!! I really want to get rid of her but she tells me I'm the only friend she has and that she gets bullied a lot....uggh I just don't know :( What should I do to nicely distance her from me? Thanks!! Oh and btw, she isn't special ed or anything like that from what I know. She has the same classes with some of my friends D:
