how do i stop it?


Question Posted Tuesday July 31 2007, 3:49 pm

there is this girli used to be bestof friends withfor about 2 years, and recently i have beenhaving huge problems with her brother and family, and i have kind of grown apart from her aswell... she is a really nice girl andfun tobewith but i just feel like i need time away from her, it is like she smothers me..always calling, always sowing up at my house, inviting herself to go out with me and my friensd, or me and my family (and my family hates her) she never gives me any space... and so well i want a break from out friendship for a while.. some weeks, maybe a mont or two... but i do not want to be rude and bitchy to her, i dont call her anymore (but she remains to call me) i dont invite her out anymore (but he always invites me out and i make excuses to not go)i dont talk to her on the internet (yet she keeps sendin me emails and offline messages) i would think she would getthe idea in her head that i dont want to talk to her, but she obviously hasnt... so what can i do? i dont want to be rude, because she really is a good person.. but i dont know what to do... i know i wont be able to just talk to her and tell her, because i feel like that is not nice...and i am running low on ideas...


any sugestions??

She seems like she just doesn't have any other friends so she is clinging to you. You just simply need to sit down and tell her nicely that you need your space. Tell her that you can continue being friends but that you both need time alone and that she needs to stop inviting herself out with you. Tell her that you will invite her when you want her to come out.

Hope I helped =]]

i know this is a brilliant answer, but i think you need to talk to her.

route 1:
"girl" i really need to talk to you. i don't think i can really be the friend you want me to be. first because there is too much stuff going on between your brother and your family and me, and two because of other reasons with my family and you. im not trying to be mean or anything its just you smother me, i have other friends than just you, and id like to hang out with them ALONE it seems every time we try to do that you invite yourself. and ive given you multiple hints, but idk. so good bye. and either hear what she has to say or hang uo which she will probably call back.

route 2:
our friendship is done.
(harsh)

lol. i hope i could help you more, but this is all i can say from personal experiences, hope it works out as planned.

I have had a friend just like this...and yes you can use the word 'Annoying' because it is true, she is annoying you isn't she?

What I did with my friend: One night she called me and I was just sooo irritated...I was like "I think I need a break from you...I need to think about some stuff."

It kinda felt like I was breaking up with her, lol. But she was like "Okay, call me when you're okay" and that was that...I called her a few weeks later and we were fine, no fights, not anything. We were cool, and she wasn't on my backside anymore.
