You have decided to end the conversation. How to stop communicating with a person. Gradually stop talking

When your friend suddenly cuts you out of his life, it's pissing. Especially if at the same time he does not say why he decided to do so. You try to figure out why, but you'll never know for sure, and that only makes it worse.

Today we will analyze this problem in detail, and try to look at the situation sensibly. I'll give you seven (7!) reasons why a friend might want to stop talking to you without explaining their decision. In addition, I will give basic advice on what you can do in this situation. In conclusion, I will tell you what you can do if, even after reading this article, you still experience negative emotions and want to stop on this account to take a steam bath.

By the way, I will speak not only on behalf of an outside observer, but also on behalf of the “scammers”. I stopped communicating with most of my friends at one time, and even for no reason. Or rather, the reason, of course, was, I just didn't tell anyone about it...

Speaking of reasons, first let's define what you mean by "no reason".

What does it mean to stop communicating for no reason?


When you say that a friend has stopped communicating with you “for no reason”, you are being cunning. The reason, for sure, is, and specific. The fact is that a friend simply decided not to talk about why he stopped communicating with you in order to avoid unnecessary conversations. To stop communication “for no reason” really means to stop communication without warning.

Every time you talk about cutting off communication for whatever reason, the point is that you justyou know, about what reason there is a speech, or, at least, you guess.

On the other hand, when a friend did not tell you about why he does not want to communicate with you anymore and just started you You feel like there was no reason for it.

But anyway, there is always a reason.

All the reasons for the termination of communication can be divided into two categories - those that are relevant to you and those that are not related to you.

Let's talk about each in detail.

Let's start with the ones that apply to you.

When it's up to you.


No matter how painful it is sometimes to realize, but sometimes people stop communicating with you because of you and precisely because of you. Here are some possible reasons why a friend stopped talking to you:

  • Spreading rumors about a friend behind his back.
  • Betrayal (perceived).
  • Lack of support (perceived).
  • Your other mistakes (perceived).

I think the first point is clear. If your girlfriend told you some secrets, and then you took and blabbed them to others in order to attract attention to yourself (people love dirty details), then why be surprised?

A friend thought that you yourself understand that you shouldn’t talk. It seems to her that since you did this, then you are not her friend, and therefore there is nothing to talk with you.

Or she thought that you really did it, without thinking about the consequences. But now she thinks you're a fool and doesn't want to talk to you either.

Pay attention, I'm not judging you. I'm just shedding light on how your actions might be perceived by the outside.

Now let's look at the rest of the points. Let's take betrayal as an example and see how it leads to the fact that a friend ends communication for no reason.

As a rule, when we hear stories about betrayal (from real life, from films, books, etc.), we often associate it with a desire for revenge, “show things off”, throw tantrums, etc.

But sometimes in real life, perceived betrayal turns into a quiet termination of friendship, without a showdown. The reason here is that sometimes it is easier for a person to end a relationship quietly than to burden himself and you with clarifying these relationships. This is partly the specifics of the situation that arose between you, partly the character of your friend.

Let's say you were invited to a party where you could invite your girlfriend, but you didn't, because you're beautiful, and she's good (there are all ours, we can be honest). You had a good time, and soon there will be your pictures inInstagram . Your friend sees the pictures and decides not to talk to you anymore.


She regards your behavior as a betrayal. She expected you to call her and was offended, realizing that she was mistaken. Moreover, she may understand why you did not call her.

And what will she tell you? On the one hand, she is hurt and offended, because she regards your behavior as a betrayal. On the other hand, she is ashamed that she is hurt and offended, because she understands that her emotions will not be taken seriously. On the third hand, she understands that even if emotions are taken seriously, it will not change anything. On the fourth hand, she would like it to be possible to change something, and you would still call her. On the fifth hand, she knows that she would feel out of place there. On the sixth side, she knows that you do not want to lose her and you will “sort things out” with her. On the seventh hand, she knows that you do not regard your behavior as a betrayal. On the eighth hand, she knows that if you apologize, you will still do the same in the future ...

I could still name 15-16 sides. The bottom line is that, having perceived and processed some incident related to you, your friend decided not to sort things out with you, but to quietly leave.

When it's not about you.

This category, in my opinion, includes most of the reasons why a friend stopped talking to you. After all, if you were to blame (allegedly), most likely a friend would let you know.

I suspect that we are dealing with any of the following reasons. Let's start with the most offensive, and end with the most harmless.

1. You were never his friend.

You considered him your friend, but you were not his friend. Perhaps you tried to get close to him in some way, but he didn’t need it. Naturally, in such a situation, it’s easier for him to avoid you than to openly tell you: “Don’t interfere, please, you are not my friend, and you will never be one.”

It is very easy to get offended by this, because in any relationship you subconsciously expect reciprocity - be it mutual friendships, friendly feelings, or even mutual hatred. In addition, if your “friend” does not reciprocate, it is perceived as unfair. Subconsciously, you made an agreement with the image of this person, starting to consider him your friend, in exchange for his friendly attitude towards you. Not getting a friendly attitude towards yourself, your subconscious sees injustice in this, and you are offended. After all - one of the subconscious factors of resentment ...


However, if you look at the situation with an open mind and from the perspective of your friend, it is understandable why he stopped communicating for no reason. He perceives his act as an attempt to be as kind and tactful as possible with you. He believes that it is rude to openly tell you about your unwillingness to be friends with you.

And why does he not want to be friends with you - this is material for study. There can be a huge number of reasons - starting from an overabundance of friends in his life and ending with your lack of common ground. If you torment yourself with the question “Whyuuuuuu?!”realthe reason for the breakup, I advise you to take up the study (more on this below).

2. Your friend's employment has skyrocketed.

Let's say he works from 9 to 6. He recently watched a course on how to start his own online business, he had a good business idea, and he decided to pursue it after work. From the course, he learned that he needs to devote 15-20 hours a week to business development, otherwise nothing will come of it.

He understands that he does not have extra 15-20 hours a week and that he will have to make sacrifices. He needs to decide what he will now eliminate from his schedule. What are his options:

  1. Divorce your wife so you don't waste time on family matters.
  2. Quit the hell out of a job.
  3. Stop talking to friends.

Which of these would you choose?


I think the answer is obvious.

Alas, he simply no longer has time for friendship with you. And how can he tell you about it?

"Sorry, I don't have time for you."

Most likely, if you are one of those friends who can be offended by this, then they will not tell you this, but will leave without explanation.

And if you are one of those who understand everything anyway, then why do you need to say something?

3. A friend is having a difficult time in his life.

I would venture to suggest that every person in his life has periods (sometimes, zatazhnye) when communication with friends is almost the last thing they want to do. Often such periods prompt them to withdraw from people in general and/or cut off all contact except necessary.

Here I can speak from personal experience. About 8 years ago, I had a period of intense study that lasted about six months. From about the moment when I started it, as a result of deep immersion in the lair of my “cockroaches”, I was covered with a rather serious depressive state, against which I did not want to communicate with friends. Friends have become for me the embodiment of those cockroaches with whom I "waged war."


The last thing I wanted at that time in my life was to explain why I no longer wanted to keep in touch with my friends. To be honest, I probably didn't need to - I acted like a gloomy asshole, and I wouldn't want to be friends with myself. But be that as it may, I left most of the relationship quietly.

I do not mean that if your friend stopped communicating with you for no reason, then this means that he began to be worked out in full (although it is possible). Rather, he just has such a period in his life.

The good news is that once this period has passed, communication may (or may not) resume. True, it most likely will not be the same as before, but here it is already about you and your desire to continue the relationship.

4. The friend has changed, his priorities have changed.

I appeal to personal experience.

When I “got out” of that depressive period mentioned above, I did not renew all my friendships.

I was consistently “well”, but this did not entail a desire to return to my old life. The result of the processing was that I changed, my perception changed, and my priorities changed. Maintaining relationships is no longer something important and valuable to me. What was destined to fall off, fell off and did not return.

Your friend can also sometimes have events in his life, having gone through which, he will no longer be the same. Changes in a person and a change in priorities go hand in hand. Alas, but perhaps friendship with you is more he is not a priority. Even if he has time for this friendship.

I'm betting that sooner or later something will happen to you, because you will end any of your friendships, simply because you yourself have changed. And when this happens, you will see that there is nothing to talk about and nothing to talk about. Because if you say it directly, you will give out something from the category:

“Soryan, we had a great conversation, but I’m stupidly not interested anymore. Nothing personal, no hard feelings, I just don't want to be friends with you anymore. I hope you don’t have any hard feelings either, but if you do, I honestly don’t care.”

And what will be the reaction, in your opinion?

Wouldn't it be easier to just leave for no reason?

5. You are part of a life that a friend is done with.


Again, speaking from personal experience...

During my student years, I participated in the production of student musicals. On the basis of that activity, I made more than a dozen friends, some of whom became very close at that period of my life ..

How many friends did I keep in touch with when I graduated?

Zero.

I don't keep in touch with any of those friends.

Why? Because, no matter how wonderful those relationships were, they "worked" at that time, in that place, in that environment. They were built, first of all, in the atmosphere of working on a common cause and were a pleasant bonus of common work.

It is very difficult not to become friends with the people with whom you worked together on your favorite thing.

And it is very easy to end this friendship as soon as the common cause ends.

Perhaps your friendship was tied to some aspect or period of life that is no longer relevant to him.

Let's say you had a common hobby - video games. You keep playing them when you are “grown up”, but your friend is not. In the past, you were friends precisely because of a common love for video games. And now your company for him is almost a burden, because he is no longer interested in video games.

This also includes any kind of community. The same musicals, musical groups, theater circles. Roleplayers and Tolkinists. Interest clubs and forums.

Sometimes communication with friends continues, yes. But this only means that you were connected not only by love for one project.

If a friend has stopped communicating with you for no reason, it may be because they are done with the part of their life that they associated with communicating with you.

6. Distance between you.


Often, at the end of your studies, you and your friend end up in different cities or even countries (ask me how I know this). Sooner or later, it risks turning into a termination of communication.

Everyone has 24 hours in a day, and everyone decides how or with whom to spend these hours. Is it better to spend an hour on Skype with an old friend or an hour meeting with a new one?

The old one is definitely better. But this is only until a sufficiently close “new friend” appears, and then a decision will have to be made, albeit subconsciously. Should I continue to communicate remotely with a childhood friend with whom I have nothing but memories, if I can communicate directly with a person with whom, perhaps, something else connects me?

If your friend decides not to continue communicating with you, then it will be easier for him to simply cut off contact with you than to explain himself in a telephone conversation.

Three things you can do.

Now that the reasons have been sorted out, a few words about what you can do.

  1. Write him One Message.

I have repeatedly mentioned the so-called (or rather, what I call) One Message. Read more about it .

Here is a possible version of One Message:

  1. Take advantage of the following settings:
  • All relationships are temporary.
  • All people are replaceable, and so am I.
  • I can't change anyone's behavior.
  • I am 100% responsible for my emotional reactions.

If you intend these attitudes, it will be much easier for you to cope with any breakups.

  1. Work through your grudges.

On this site you are not without reason. It's not about your friend. The point is your emotional reaction to the fact that he stopped communicating with you, and even did not explain the reason.

I explained to you what could be the reason for the cessation of resentment. Gave you a recommendation on how to build communication with a friend further. Gave a couple of installations that will help you cope with the pain of parting.

But ultimately, the best thing you can do for your emotional balance is not to repair a relationship that has most likely outlived itself, but to change yourself. Stop automatically reacting to the behavior of other people. Eliminate your emotional addictions. Stop clinging to relationships that you don't need anymore.

How to change and stop reacting to everything like that? Start by working through past grievances.

All your past grievances, to one degree or another, have influenced how you react to the behavior of people in the present. Past grievances are the key to automatic emotional reactions in the present. They have formed a whole set of limiting beliefs, as well as a victim mentality, because of which you feel resentment already in adulthood.

The idea that the past is in the past is false. The events are in the past, but the emotional burden of those events has not gone away. All your grievances continue to be stored in your subconscious, causing an automatic emotional response.


Therefore, it is necessary to take on the contents of your subconscious and eliminate all kinds of mental garbage from there - restrictions, past grievances and traumas, fears, anxieties, etc.

About how to work out, read .

P.S. If a friend unexpectedly showed up after reading this article, write about it in the comments.

Ecology of consciousness. Psychology: Decided to change your life, fix something and rethink? Look around, at those around you. Perhaps among them there are those who always pull you down, make you upset, take away positive energy. Think about how your world will change if you refuse to communicate with these people.

10 types of people you shouldn't hang out with

Have you decided to change your life, fix something and rethink? Look around, at those around you. Perhaps among them there are those who always pull you down, make you upset, take away positive energy. Think about how your world will change if you refuse to communicate with these people.

Let's single out 10 types of such people.

People who make your life more stressful

We sometimes need stress. This is a stimulus to action, a shake-up for the soul. Stress due to various situations happens and will always be - this is normal and even useful. But there are special people who, with their words or actions, deliberately put you in a state of stress, worries.

Such individuals endlessly "load" their problems. Communicating with them is listening to endless whining and complaints. Negative emotions pour over you in a stream and put you in a state of despondency. Such acquaintances try to convince you of the futility of the efforts made in some business, they demotivate you. It is better to isolate yourself from such “friends”, reduce contacts to a minimum.. They are energy vampires, except for fatigue and irritation from such communication, you will not get anything.

People using you

The duty of friends is to come to the aid, to support, if possible, mentally and materially. about. A true friend is a gift to be cherished and cherished. To come to the aid of friends at the first call, putting aside their affairs - this is what is required from a loved one, a kind of litmus test showing the level of our spiritual development.

People who don't respect you

Every person wants to be respected. Disdainful or unworthy attitude offends, offends. If among your acquaintances there are such unceremonious persons who demonstrate their disrespect for you, they are not worthy of your attention. In addition to low self-esteem, they will not bring anything into your life. Get rid of those whose words or constant jokes spoil your mood. Do not waste your time on people who do not want to see you as a person worthy of respect.

People who hurt you

All people make mistakes and do stupid things. You need to be able to forgive, especially when it comes to loved ones.. Resentment against others destroys the person himself from the inside. If among your environment there are people who regularly hurt, who do not have sincere repentance for their actions, move them away from you. Do not develop masochism in yourself. It harms you first of all and negatively affects loved ones who love you.

Liar people

Almost everyone can lie, embellish something, invent. Most of the lies are harmless, we often even guess that the interlocutor is “flooding”, we love to lie ourselves. When this lie does not bring harm, one can understand, but there are people who lie all the time. Their lies can be dangerous. Such "copies" will easily let you down, they will set you up at any moment. Without trust, there is no friendship. Surround yourself with only those you can trust. Your life will become calmer, you will always feel confident in your loved ones, only such reliable people can become a support.

hypocrites people

A person who says one thing in the face and another behind his back cannot be a friend. Only cowards, hypocrites, scum act like that. They don't have the courage to be honest. Often this behavior is driven by malicious intent.: quarrel, upset, hurt. They are not just unpleasant personalities, they are dangerous creatures that can ruin a reputation, interfere with a career, even break a life. Stay away from these hypocrites, don't have any association with them. Only complete disregard for such personalities will protect you from trouble.

Selfish people

Everyone suffers from selfishness. But there are egocentric people. They know how to communicate well, they are quite fun to be around. They know how to correctly and tearfully ask for help, so it is impossible to refuse. However, you will not wait for reciprocal attention or support from them. They are not able to give, help, sacrifice. These "pseudo-friends" are especially harmful as they create the illusion of friendship. You will expect help from them, but they will disappear at the most crucial moment. After all, their own interests are above the troubles of others.

People who pull you back to the old way of life

Our lives are constantly changing. We develop, grow mentally, acquire new habits. It is quite natural and natural for new people and acquaintances to appear in the environment. Sometimes it’s time to break off relations with old comrades, especially when it comes to people who are trying to slow down your development, pull you down, and prevent the fight against bad inclinations. If a friend does not want to grow with you, no longer shares interests, it is better to disperse. Now everyone has their own path. Life is a movement, you should not stop.

People who are "a childhood friend - there's no getting away from him"

It is very rare when people are friends from school to old age. We choose our friends according to interests, worldview. It can be insulting and painful to part with those who have been around for many years, whether it be a classmate, classmate or colleagues. Of course, this does not mean at all that you should immediately and permanently end the relationship. It's okay to keep in touch on the phone, say goodbye to the holidays, and just wonder how a former friend's life has turned out. But deliberately torment yourself by communicating with a person with whom there are now no common topics and goals.

People who needlessly take up your time and space

Time is running fast. We always fail to do something. You don't have to waste yourself on everyone you meet. Limit the number of acquaintances. Give your time and energy to people who inspire, support, motivate you. Create high-quality, useful communication in your life. A large number of empty acquaintances and meaningless conversations only steal your time, energy and destabilize mentally.published

Friendship plays a huge role in the social life of a person. Friends are like-minded people whom we trust and turn to for advice and support in difficult moments of life. For many years they rejoice at all our victories and grieve with us during the period of failures.

With age, a person changes and develops, and his friendships also change. Unfortunately, not always for the better. Sometimes a friend no longer gives that positive, as before, and sometimes causes only negative emotions.

And you understand that your paths have diverged, and you want to stop communicating. But how to get rid of a friend tactfully, without tantrums and scandals? In this article, you can read about when to break up with a person. And what can be done to make the process painless for all parties.

Toxic Friendship

All girls who are thinking about how to get rid of a girlfriend should get acquainted with the term “toxic friendship”. By this phrase it is customary to understand such a format of relations in which you maintain a friendly relationship with a person, but at the same time something in communication does not suit you. The first sign of "toxic friendship" is the lack of pleasure from spending time together.

The whole tragedy of such "poisonous" bonds is that they are not easy to break. If a friend betrayed, deceived or said nasty things, then breaking up with her is easy. But what if there was nothing like that, but after each meeting you have a breakdown and your self-esteem decreases? That is, there is an awareness that there are negative aspects in your relationship, but what to do with it is unknown.

When is it time to leave?

  1. Are these relationships changing me for the worse?
  2. Is this a temporary stage in the relationship or has this always happened, but I closed my eyes every time?
  3. There is a feeling that a friend enjoys my failures and problems?
  4. Are they using me?
  5. Does it feel like I'm constantly solving other people's problems?
  6. Have I lost friends because of this person?

If the answer to all questions is yes, then you should think about how to get rid of a bad friend. There are several good ways to do this.

Gradual reduction of communication

How to get rid of a girlfriend tactfully and without scandal? One of the best methods is to gradually reduce communication. The process is long, but the least painful. And you should not confuse it with completely ignoring your girlfriend - this will cause a violent reaction on her part.

With a gradual decrease, you spend less time together: if before the meetings were daily, reduce their number to 1-2 times a week, then to a couple of times a month, and then completely disappear from her life. So that there are no offenses, refer to the strongest employment and do not forget to come up with a believable legend. But it's best to really keep yourself busy with a job, a new hobby, or a sport. In general, "I'm sorry dear, but there is no time for you!"

This technique is good because with a decrease in the number of meetings, anger and irritation often disappear, and you understand that there were a lot of this person in your life. But when the meetings became more rare, your communication improved again. Here's how to get rid of an annoying girlfriend and not lose the person forever!

Straight Talk

Are you too much personal? Have you been friends for many years? You can’t imagine yourself without this person, but you don’t want to continue a “toxic” relationship?

If we talk about how to get rid of your best friend, then the best way out is a frank conversation. Think it over ahead of time. Write down on paper what you don't like. And express everything directly to your face - calmly, without insults and negative emotions.

If a friend begins to make excuses, she should be listened to. This is a good chance to start a constructive dialogue and understand what to do next. As a result of the conversation, you will have to listen to a lot of unpleasant things about yourself - after all, your best friend probably has accumulated her grievances, since no one is perfect.

After such a conversation, a new round of friendship is possible - updated, without old grievances. Or the final break.

It is important not to fall into the trap here: in one of the forms of "toxic" friendship, such conversations are conducted regularly, emotionally, and to the point of complete exhaustion. If you have repeatedly sorted things out with your best friend, then it is better to find another way to arrange a break.

Provocation

How to get rid of a girlfriend so that she was the initiator of the break? In fact, this is a rather dangerous, albeit effective method. Here it is important not to go too far and not to put pressure on a too sore spot, so as not to turn out to be a villain in the eyes of not only a former girlfriend, but also those closest to her.

What are we doing? We actively criticize a friend, but gently: we note an unsuccessful hairstyle, makeup, choice of clothes, etc. Do not forget to say that she is wrong - always and everywhere. We blurt out an "accidentally" awkward little secret - a small skeleton from the closet, but something small, but shameful. Then we apologize!

In general, we behave like a real "toxic" girlfriend, and very soon they will want to get rid of you.

Stop talking completely

Most often, girls are concerned about the question of how to get rid of an annoying girlfriend. A really annoying one that doesn't recognize your right to waste your personal time on other people too. Her hallmarks are an excess of free time and a lack of personal life, which she compensates for by listening to stories about your love relationships. She is often chatty and does not have other friends to fulfill her need for companionship. So you take the brunt.

In fact, such people are often unhappy. And some, only out of pity, continue to communicate, in fact, resigning themselves to the constant presence of a stranger in their lives. But not everyone is ready for such self-sacrifice.

Sometimes a method of gradually reducing communication works with annoying girlfriends - to an acceptable level, after which they become quite pleasant and welcome guests in your house.

But sometimes such people are not able to behave tactfully: they burst into your place, regardless of whether you are busy or not, do not listen to your words that you do not have time, and literally follow you everywhere and everywhere. They put pressure on pity, while being offended by ignored calls and messages. These people have no concept of personal boundaries. These are real energy vampires.

How to get rid of an obsessive girlfriend of this type? Here it is necessary to apply the tactics of complete ignore and disguise. Now you are not at home, you cannot answer calls, from now on it is strictly forbidden to call you at work, and at home your new boyfriend and your favorite hamsters interfere with communication. At random personal meetings, refer to employment, a despot husband, children that take all your strength, and exhausting work.

Over time, this person will find another donor victim, and she will have to listen to everything that excites this person at every second of time.

Communication after a breakup

How to get rid of a girlfriend, everyone has an approximate idea. But not every person realizes that this is only the first stage of a competent separation. The second is communication after the break and the reaction to questions from the inner circle.

An ex-girlfriend may have the same social circle with you, or you are colleagues, or studied together, so you will have to meet. You can even accidentally bump into the street. Therefore, we learn to respond to such meetings correctly: you should smile, say hello, exchange a couple of banal phrases and disperse. No deep personal conversations and long conversations!

When asking about the reason for the breakup, you should be tactful and not throw mud at your ex-girlfriend, even if she does this against you. You are a rock, flint, finally, just a good person and above all these showdowns!

Leave these people in the past, and you will feel how your life will change for the better.

1. People causing stress


You may feel stressed due to certain circumstances, but don't let the people you know stress you out. If there are individuals among those around you who cause only negative emotions, it's time to stop communicating with them. Life is already full of experiences, why do you need an extra source of negativity.

2. People who use you


3. People who don't respect you


All people deserve respect, and if there are people in your environment who do not respect you, stop communicating with them. You must have the self-respect not to allow yourself to be treated like this.

4. People who hurt you


People are stupid and hurt. As luck would have it, the most painful thing is the actions of those who care about you, to whom you are attached. If such a person does not understand the consequences of his actions and does not want to stop offending you, throw him out of life. Don't let anyone hurt you.

5. People who lie all the time


Lies of a person you trust can pretty much spoil your nerves. Get rid of the people you don't trust and life will become much easier.

6. People who smile in your face and spit in your back

People who pretend to be friends and say nasty things behind their backs have no place in your life. They will ruin your reputation and set you up in difficult times. It's time to say goodbye to such "friends".

7. People who don't care about you


There are honest people who really don't care about you, and they don't hide it. And there are those who only pretend that they care. They act like friends as long as it suits them, but if you ask them for help, they disappear immediately. Such friendship is dangerous, because it creates the illusion of trust, which is not there. In order not to be at the last moment without the necessary support, conduct an audit among friends.

8. People who take you back to the past


Life can be exciting and meaningful only when there is forward movement: we develop, work on ourselves, improve our knowledge, and seek happiness. But there are those who hold on to the past and prevent you from moving forward. You put in a lot of hard work and effort to change everything, and they bring you back to the old life you were trying to get away from. If progress and development is important, beware of such people.

9. People who hold you back


Over time, we all change: our goals, dreams and outlook on life develop, and with many people who were close, we are no longer on the way. It's sad, but such is life. Many old friends, or rather acquaintances, may not like the way you have changed. Egoists create an ideal world in which everyone must play by their rules. If you are unable to achieve the goal, perhaps the reason is that you live by someone else's rules. Are your goals and dreams incompatible? So, life paths are also different.

10. People who waste their place in life


Life's possibilities are not unlimited: time, resources are quickly exhausted. We won't be able to do everything we plan to do. Therefore, you need to carefully choose not only things, but also the people with whom you will do them. When you spend time with stupid people, you will be doing stupid things instead of something important.

Leave such people in the past, and make yourself real friends.

Before taking such drastic measures, it is necessary to weigh all the pros and cons, sorting out in your own soul. Perhaps a person who vehemently no longer wants to communicate with his friend or buddy has harbored some kind of temporary resentment against him, which gives rise to thoughts in his mind about ending communication. Don't drive the horses! Perhaps this offense can be forgiven. If there is no other way out except breaking off relations, then you need to stop communicating with a person, if possible, in a polite manner, so as not to make enemies for yourself.

How to stop communicating with a person?

Talk to the person politely. This is perhaps the most straightforward way to solve the problem of relations with an objectionable person. For example, two men can just talk to each other, dot the i's. Women and children can do the same. A psychological effect will work here: the very fact that they don’t want to communicate with a person will force him to rise above his “opponent” and no longer bother him.

Don't be the first to make contact. Often this is what helps friendships fade. If one person no longer wants to communicate with another, then he just needs to stop contacting him. Not making contact means ignoring both personal communication and telephone conversations and even communication on social networks (via e-mail). However, this method does not guarantee a polite break in interpersonal relationships.

Do not respond to invitations. This method will allow two people to stop communicating with each other in a polite manner. The main thing to do is to reject any invitations from your friend (friend), referring to this or that employment. Most relationships end on their own. You can decline invitations by finding more solid reasons for this and explaining them so that everything is “fair” (a fishing trip, going to relatives for a birthday, etc.).

Late feedback. Some people break off relations with unwanted friends, girlfriends or buddies, defiantly responding to their messages on social networks (or SMS) with a noticeable delay. Of course, you don’t need to completely ignore the messages, but answering them with a delay of 1-2 days, and not verbose at all, is the truth! In this case, the objectionable interlocutor will either send his messages less and less often, or even immediately stop doing it.
