That's not very easy.
I don't know the details or situation but...
Try to plan it out first that you leave no opening to stay like saying it's something they do or don't do. The may offer to change!
Try to plan what and how you will start the conversation so there will not be an arguement brewing.
Also if you can offer some options on where to go ( not that!) and how to go, because that will likely be the first defense to stay.
If it is like GF or BF, there will be some hurt feelings, otherwise just be honest, that it's not good for you and the longer they stay the more strain on your friendship.

Hurt feelings are bound to happen because you are after all leaving someone. Just be honest and try to explain why. Be firm but gentle as to not let the other person think there might be a chance of reconciliation if that isn't what you want. Most would want to know up front that you don't want to be with them then to be strung along. Good Luck.

There is no way to tell them without hurting their feelings. You just have to say how you feel and if it hurts their feelings,it just will.Sounds like you are maybe breaking up with someone.You didn't say.Sometimes in life things just do not work out in relationships.For whatever reason.Staying away from someone who irritates you,make you angry or just plain do not like is always best for you in the long run,so do what you must to free yourself. At least one person will be happy and that will be you.

it has to hurt... why? if you left that person without even saying anything will hurt more than you expected. Tell them you need space. Being honest can hurt a person but it will be quite some time and that person can move on without you. But if you didnt tell them that you're leaving them, it will make them wonder what is the reason...making it more painful.

It's frequently impossible to leave someone without hurting his or her feelings. The best you can do is treat the person with respect--which includes breaking up instead of leading them on. Consider that you're doing them a kindness by setting them free to find someone more compatible.

If it's not mutual then there is nothing you can say. If someone doesn't want to leave they are going to feel hurt (and probably pretty angry). The best thing to do is get it all out on the table and hope for the best.

There is no way to NOT hurt someone's feelings when you are rejecting them... just cannot happen. Even if you try to turn the reasons into being your fault, it won't work.
Be honest, withough being mean a sarcastic. That is the best you can do. Don't drag it out.

You can tell them in a caring way but it is still going to hurt their feelings. If you really want to tell them then do it no matter what because they will get over it and move on.

well first of all what do you mean by telling someone to leave? leave physically i.e. he/she living with you or do you mean break up? well either way... the best thing to do is just plain simple... tell them the truth how you feel. there's no point of them staying if you don't want them to. i'm sure they would rather know the truth than not because they have pride too... if you don't want her/him to stay then i'm sure he/she would leave as you wished. they rather leave than for you to feel pity for them scared that you'll hurt their feelings. i'm sure that if i was the other person i would want to leave now

if you find the answer to that one...bottle it...you will be rich
if you are in a relationship and tell someone to leave, they are going to be hurt if they care about you
if you are talking non-relationship company....be blunt and tell them you are not up to company right now and ask them to leave
relationships a whole other ballgame when it comes to telling someone to leave
