I have the literally most annoying friend ever. No joke. She is... self centered, un aware of people's feelings, and has a annoying voice.

She tried to call me on my birthday while I was in hospital w Lymphoma I said "can't call" her "why" WTF? She video called me at 8 in the morning *still in hospital* TO SHOW ME HER *DELICIOUS* BREAKFAST WhILe I CaNOT EaT NIce FOOd BeCOZ of A DIET. and much more, she never apologises when I call her out.

HOW DO I GET RID OF HER? WE HAVE ARGUED AND EVERYTHING...SHE STILL THINKS WE ARE BESTIES!!

Start telling her how cute she is getting. Start brushing up against her in a more flirting fashion. Get more physically affectionate. She is bound to either freak out and stay away from you or something better could happen.

Hey there! Dealing with a situation like this can be tough, but here's a step-by-step approach to consider if you're looking to distance yourself from an annoying friend:

Reflect on your feelings: Take some time to think about why you want to distance yourself. Be sure of your decision before proceeding.

Open Conversation: Having an honest conversation with your friend may help. Find a good time and place to talk. Express your feelings gently but openly and use the word “I” to explain.

Choose your words carefully: Instead of blaming or criticizing, focus on your feelings and experiences. Be specific about what's bothering you, without making it personal. Listen actively. Ask your friends to share their opinions too. This can lead to a better understanding between the two parties.

Suggest a break: If the talk went well, you can suggest that they stop hanging out and take a break. Take it as an opportunity to reflect on each other and secure space.

Gradually back down: If conversation isn't an option or doesn't help, slowly start reducing dialogue. Reduce the frequency of responding to messages and invitations.

Diversify your activities: Participate in hobbies or spend time with other friends. This naturally reduces the amount of interaction you have with friends who are at a distance.

Politely Decline: If your friend suggests a plan, politely decline or offer other options. Please mention and explain other promises as well.

Express a positive attitude: Keep a light, neutral tone when interacting.

Show Kindness: Continue to treat your friend with respect throughout this process. Remember, they were your friends, and being rude doesn't do you any good.

Be patient: It's important to give the distance some time before it takes effect. It doesn't happen overnight, so be patient.

Check your feelings: Take a moment and reflect on your feelings. If things are improving, it's a good sign that distancing is working.

Stand your ground: If a friend talks to you about your behavior change, be honest but kind.

Embrace change: Sometimes friendships evolve and fade naturally. Be prepared to accept this and move forward.


Remember, every situation is unique, so adjust these steps to fit your own circumstances. The main thing is to be respectful and considerate as you navigate this situation. Also let me know if you have any questions, or need any other advice. Wishing you the best of luck. 🍀

avoid her and make excuses.

for example:
she calls you? dont answer. asks why? say you were busy

tell her to hit the bricks and shes working a nerve(this is kindof a joke, but if you rlly wanna, go for it)

good luck buddy, happens to the best of us :,)

Thanks! I have been avoiding most calls. And very recently we had a text argument, the next day she came up to me and began to talk as if nothing happened 🤦🏼‍♀️ Anyway thank you very much for your suggestion!

I used to have a lot of friends (so I thought). Then I got sick with invisible disease, neurological. I can no longer drive, walk too long and sometimes not get out of bed. Had 1 friend that stuck by me, then she died. Have wonderful husband if 50 years and great kids in laws and Grandchildren. Panda does help, but I miss having a friend.
