What do I do about an annoying friend?

Question

So at the begining of the school year I was new. This girl who I don't think had a ton of friends (but had some) latched onto me and made herself my new best friend. For about the first month and a half she was nice, friendly and not constantly bugging me. However, after she realized I didn't push her away she never left me alone! I ended up having three classes with her and for projects she would always insist that I was her partner. She even gave me a very bad rash (that I have scars from) caused by stress and her CONSTANT poking. I told her to stop poking me and she didn't listen. Now, over the summer since she managed to get my number, she has left at least ten messages (I have caller ID and don't pick up when she calls) and wont leave me alone. She's begging me to join colorguard which I have said repeatedly I can't because of my schedule... I don't know if I should just tell her to stop calling (my dad's advice) or just keep ignoring her calls! Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

That is sad. I think you have been extremely kind. Sounds like she is not use to that. Try to avoid her without making it obvious. I know you are trying not to be mean to her and that is good. As far as the poking---I would have a major issue with that. Tell her you don't like it. Don't worry about not being nice when it comes to that. She is invading your space. Anyways, good luck. And have a great school year!

Answer 2

I have a cousin that I never knew until recently and she is like that. It got to the point that if I didn't answer the phone she would show up at the door. I think she finally got the point when she kept calling my cell one day and "accidentally" hit talk instead of dismiss and she could hear the radio and everyone talking and laughing. I had tried not answering the phone and everything. She wanted to do EVERYTHING that I did. It was stressful to me since I like to be alone most of the time.

Answer 3

well just either tel her u nedd ur space or just tell her straight ^ how u feel mayb the ignoring could work but its mean try 2 b in her position would u like it if some 1 who u liked and considered ur best friend did that 2 u?

Answer 4

Well, honestly, if you don't care if she gets hurt, then be frank. Say "You are becoming way to attached to me, and I can't deal with that. Please stop calling and please find other friends". I think that if you ignore her enough she will get the point, but that may be just as cruel as telling her to bug off.

Answer 5

slowly detach yourself from that friendship, when she asks to hang out, let her know that you have other friends you can do stuff with too and introduce her to new people. who knows, maybe she'll find someone she likes more than you. ( no offense ) lol. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
