Question Posted Tuesday October 14 2003, 10:54 pm

There is this person who i hate but she thinks i'm her friend. My best friend feels the same way as i do and right now they are in an all out war. She won't understand that my friend and i don't want her around. How do i make her understand without hurting her too much?

You might try dropping hints for a while, but if she doesn't pick up on it, you may have to be a bit more blatant. It's never pleasant telling anyone you don't enjoy her company, but sometimes it just has to be done. Just don't be malicious about it.

First, think of a reason why you don't like her. Then get a person who shares her intrests to come sit with you at lunch. Once they get talking and get friendly with each other, talk to the girl you don't like in private saying you don't like her. Break it to her gently and tell her the reason why you don't like her. Maybe then, she'll get the hint and go off with her friend and leave you alone.

I think you should examine your reasons for hating her. If you're going to send her away there's no polite way to do it, so you might as well figure out a way to do it in a way that she'll benefit from. And who knows, maybe she'll change? Just turn around and say, "You know what? We don't like you. You talk about yourself all the time or you smell or you're loud or you're desperate for friends or you demand attention in painfully annoying ways." There has to be a reason, yes?

It's always best to be honest. I'm not sure she'll leave you alone, but there's really not a great way to accomplish this so look at her as more of a project. Make her into the friend you'd like to have. If she gets sick of that, then she'll start leaving you alone quickly.
