annoying "friend" Options

[moeko]

Well, theres this girl I know, her names Ashley. Anyways shes the type of person that always wants the attention from everybody, wants like 3842039482 friends, and is like a huge crybaby. Well Ashley thinks we're like best friends when we're NOT. So I started avoiding her, and I didn't really talk to her. [Like if she said Hi to my in the halls, I would just say Hi and leave instead of starting a conversation]. And when she didn't notice anything different, I told her that I thought it would be better if we didn't hang out a lot. [Was that too mean? ><] Well she went home and told her mom, and her mom called my mom who got mad at me for being mean. Then, Ashley's mom told her sister that she wouldn't be able to talk to me. And I was close friends with Ashley's sister. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW ANNOYING SHE IS. [She cries a lott, too]

How can I tell her that she's annoying [in a nice way] and tell her to stop bothering me?

[me1issaaaa]

Just be friendly... it's not middle school anymore. It's not worth it making such a big deal out of it. If she wants to be a baby and throw a fit because you didn't make her the center of your world for 3 minutes out of your day, then let her have her tantrem and look like a child. Just ignore how annoying she is, and smile and be nice around her. It's not worth getting all huffy puffy about.

^^I totally agree with koala kisses.

This girl seems like what my friends call an "attention-whore."

[Lethal-Beauty]

I agree. You should also grab a chance to explain everything instead of being judge unfairly atleast to your mom. Just my opinion.

Aah, same thing happened to me just a while ago.

What I did, basically, was kind of ignore her, and just go along with another group of friends, you know, the kind that is usually just fun to hang out with. She started to get less clingy because I didn't pay any attention to her.

That's right. The best way to get her off your back is to just ignore her in any possible way. Sure, you can say "Hi" back, or "I'm good, you?" if she asks how you're doing. But if she gets too clingy, just start walking and nod your head. Eventually, she'll be tired of you just standing there and leave.

At least that's what I did, and it worked for me.

i kinda drifted apart from my anoying friend.
its really the only thing you can do as the more you feed her fire the more trapped you feel about it.
and honestly if you really really wanted to take action on that you could say to her that you dont want to be friends with someone who 1] loves her self and loves being the center of attention 2]friends with a person who crys to their momma about their friend problems like if they were in kindergarten.

You tell her that she's annoying. Don't lie to her. I know it's tough to have balls, but get used to the uncomfortable.

It's been my experience that people usually don't react in the way that I think they will. Well, you know she's a cry baby, and she's annoying...then you know she'll cry and it shouldn't be a big deal.

[multifaceted]

Leave her alone. Let her throw her tamper tantrum and let her mommy come and pick up the pieces. You do what you want. You don't need to please her; you please yourself first.

[*My Cinderella.*]

I think you should just tell her the truth. That way, she can't get the wrong idea.

[moorepocket]

omg, i also have this annoying friend. Though we hang out a lot in HS, but now, we don't see each other as much. She now has my number, and calls me a lot. Like everyday. In which, i totally ignore. THen she stop calling.

[lemonlover8082]

[Sandraaa]

LMAO.

[S-Majere]

Ack, been there - done that. I find studiously ignoring someone is a wonderful way of getting irritation to go away without getting huffy or saying anything.

Keep your cool, ignore the fool.
