Could always say some BS like, you appreciate her friendship but the girl you’re seeing doesn’t, so you arent going to talk to her anymore.

Probably just run it by your girl first, since you describe this lady as a bit vindictive.

I doubt she’ll mind if you explain the situation, but that way she’ll at least knows why she’s getting dirty looks if they ever cross paths 🤣
 
these days I try to really limit who's in my life, I've changed my number many times in the last few years. Human nature is human nature and being a nice guy, most people take advantage and now I'm not nice at all. I just ghost people if they become a burden, life's too short and there are only a few billion more if you need some.

Get a MAGA hat... if she "takes things personally and makes everything into a woke gender race culture war issue", it will work.

You're welcome.

This is great advice. It might get him assaulted though.

I have a psychotic friend who is very needy and constantly depressed. He'd get upset when I wouldn't reply to his texts. I told him I had a girlfriend and didn't need another. Besides he isn't my type. Next time we hung out I told him his behavior was getting annoying and he dialed it way back. Honesty is the key in dealing with people you want to keep as friends

Some people will drain your time and energy. Cutting succubus from your life is essential imo.

How would you distance yourself amicably from someone who's clingy but you don't want to hang out with?

Since last year, I've become "friends" with this woman who for whatever reason, has taken a real liking to me and is willing to go out of her way to hang out with me and talk to me. She's very involved in the local community and knows a lot of my friends and acquaintances. She's been always nice to me and never did anything against me personally, but... the more I get to know her, the more I find her annoying and off putting. If she was a real friend, I would feel comfortable openly telling her what's up, but alas she's not.

Without going into too much detail, she's the type of person who loves to make everything about herself. She takes things personally and makes everything into a woke gender race culture war issue. She also tries to turn people against certain others she doesn't like. She's also clingy and I find her "friendship" to be overbearing.

This is a case of "demoting" someone from friend to acquaintance, except I never considered this person really a friend to begin with.

I'd like a cordial relationship with her without having to spend too much time with her. Because she is very involved in the community, it's very likely I will run into her if I do decide to go out to socialize, and if she perceives my distancing as a slight against her, she might try to turn other people against me. I want to distance myself from her without burning bridges if I don't have to.

I've been distancing myself slowly, still responding to her texts with shorter messages and she still persists, jokingly talking about how she's going to hunt me down to hang out with me. Kind of gives me the creeps.

What would you in this situation?
Just stop talking to her? Tell her straight up that you don't enjoy talking to her?

I would respectfully be honest with her about the way you feel. At least give her a chance to redeem herself by showing you a possible good, understanding side that you haven't seen yet. If she reacts like a psycho, well, good riddance.
 
Just ask to borrow money.

She'll loan you the money and then you ghost her, and she'll think it's because you don't wanna pay her back and not because she's an annoying cunt. So you spare her feelings and get some cash... Win-win

Who cares if she's offended? not worth it.

Maybe start constantly talking about your love of Donald trump... that should do it. Like holy water to a vampire <lmao>

That would just go against my morals and I don't like the idea of being beholden to someone else. I did however, think about asking about borrowing money only because she does like to brag about how much money she makes and how successful she's become, and also about how kind and caring she is, so I wanted to test it out of spite. I'm not going to do that though.
 
eat a big can of beans before anytime you see her and let er rip as much as you can. Make sure to never break eye contact

everytime you see her call her by the wrong name, when she corrects you apologize and then call her the wrong name again

wear a maga hat

if you are seeing her in public, in the middle of a conversation tap her on the arm and yell TAG YOUR IT and run away as fast as you can. Don't answer any phone texts or calls for a week, then call her up and ask her if shes down for another game

work on perfecting a foreign accent. Only use it when talking to her

if you are in a social setting with her and other friends make sure to laugh obnoxiously everytime she says anything serious, absolute dead stare if she says anything humorous

if you can pull it off go home to change quickly during a visit and return in matching outfits

You could also try selling her on your new pyramid scheme every time you see her. I had a friend that got into that shit and I ghosted him quickly.
