How can I remove a manipulative person from my social circle?

Question

Ok so there is this kid, he's really shy, weak, and sometimes extremely annoying, but somehow he always gets everyone to do what he wants and can get plans completely configured around himself, I don't know how he does it, he's relatively new to the group but he acts all nice and stuff but he's really just a big jerk. How can I remove him from my circle so i don't have to deal with his antics anymore because i fear I'm just gonna walk up to him and punch him in the face from anger, i've actually got a cut right through my gums from holding violence in.

Answer 1

If your circle likes him then he has a right to be there. If you are confident and mature in the strength of your friendships within the circle then they will still accept you if you do not like him. You don't have to be around him if you don't like him but honestly the way you come across in your question makes you seem manipulative and jealous.

Answer 2

we have alot in common. I used to have a friend like that. This is simple to do. Anyone who does not contribute to your well-being in life should be written off....cut and dry.

1) Talk face to face

2) Tell the cold hard truth

3) Write them off

4) Find someone else

5) Break communication and sever the connection

6) Dont be dramatic about it....just handle the business

Answer 3

I had the same problem, if he is around your friends and they enjoy his company you cant change their opinions in him, if you do that they will hate you. Limit your exposure to the group, don't seem so available and if they are good friends they will wonder whats going on with you. As for getting the manipulator outta the group, your friends will just have to realize what hes doing. If your young just go to your friends house and start a convo with your friends mom/dad and explain this new guy, dont talk bad about him, just discuss his antics and act like you dont know what he is saying. The parents, if they are smart will realize what kinda kid it is and tell ur friend/ there son, not to hang out with him anymore cus hes doing bad things. Of course, if you do this arent you just as bad as the kid himself, hmm?

I would just ignore him, and if he does p**s you off enough kick the c**p outta him, people like that need to get beat to learn what they are doing is no acceptable.

Answer 4

Completely cut him off...don't talk to him don't speak to him, act like he never exsisted.

Answer 5

if he's so weak why are YOU threatened ?
