Red Lion Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 No matter how crabby and unpleasant you are to them, they keep coming back. These individuals prove to be consistently impervious to rejection. I've got two right now and no matter what I do they keep seeking out my company in the hopes that if they keep plying me with their patronizing affections I'll cave and we'll all have a magical care-bear worthy moment of emotional breakthrough. They're like obnoxious little barnacles that have latched on to my left ass-cheek. Doesn't help that one of them has never met Gator but he still actively hates him and looks for any excuse to criticize my taste in partner. Anyone got barnacle removal tips? Where do I get a copy of "how to lose a human boomerang 101"? Better yet anyone got any amusing stories of run-ins with this type? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissFleece Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 As someone who is completely oblivious to social hints, be blunt and tell them to fuck off. It's kinder than letting them believe you're their friend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all seriousness, perhaps try to explain it to them in those words that nomatter how hard they force it, it ain't gonna happen.

He might still be creeping around asking my old highschool friends for updates about me don't know what to tell you! There's no laws against people purposely annoying you unless they cause you actual like, provable harm I can tell you tho that assuming a new name and identity has helped me avoid ppl in the past \:3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta really want these people out of your life and you gotta stick to your guns. No giggling or breaking down, make the weirdest face you can at them, and hold it. Dont speak, dont make eye contact, just hold the face until they leave. It works 10/10 as long as you commit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't even stalking me, we share friends so we end up crossing paths. The thing that makes it hard to get along with them (aside from bashing my partner) is the very fact that they ARE trying so damn hard to befriend me. Not even because they like me, but because they think I'm depressed and they feel sorry for me. 4 minutes ago, MissFleece said: If this doesnt work, there is ONE thing that will!

Got more of a light hearted sense of humor than me too. If one of us is going to join in with shit posting or making spongebob references that'll be him. The dude hates Gator because since I was 15 I have had only one BFF and that has always been Gator and for the life of him this guy can't seem to figure out what makes Gator so special that I love him the most.

TBH I don't get this guy and I tend to just avoid him when possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine out what that reason is. Remove it. At the same time, find out what he dislikes, and make him believe you possess those undesirable traits. If his criticisms of gator are to be believed, he dislikes short redneck guys who work at Walmart. I am none of those things. XP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannakitty Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I suggest waving your arms and moving your lips like you are saying something without actually saying anything and just doing that until they walk away.

FlynnCoyote Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Lure them into a cage in your basement and leave them there, feeding them only two carrot sticks per day until you feel they are independent enough to be released back into the wild. I recommend at least six months, it usually allows their minds time to readjust. It is literally the only humane thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowing Glass Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I meet people like this irl constantly. I make friends with them and realize how much I hate them but im already their only friend so I'm stuck with them. Theyre parasites that feed off of your attention and they will never go away. Theyre also 99% of the time stupid pricks that deserve to be tied to a tree and be fed to chickens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jtrekkie Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Going to put my opposite two cents in, if someone's trying really hard to befriend you just go ahead and let them. It costs nothing at all to be civil to people, and acting as if you like someone often leads to you really lining them. If you're just a little patient either you will get along with them and can come to an understanding, or it will be clear that the relationship doesn't work and it will fizzle on its own accord. Best of luck with Mr. Gator, by the way. For me I feign cordial obliviousness with people spamming me. It works alright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
