How do i tell someone i don't want to talk to them again without hurting their feelings?

Question

i need to tell them but I'm scared I'm gonna hurt them. tell me how i can tell them without hurting their feelings

Answer 1

you cant realy tell them without hurting feelings.

Be clear and to the point and explain your feelings and why you dont want to talk to them

Answer 2

You don't have to directly tell the person. Avoid them, always be distracted, bored, busy, unavailable. If they don't get the message, then you can make excuses like, "I'm just really busy/depressed/tired". But first try distancing yourself.

Answer 3

I have that same problem its kinda hard to tall someone.

Answer 4

JUST WRITE A LETTER TELL THEM HOW FEEL?

Answer 5

well i would either right whoever a letter or juss stand up to them and tell them how you feel and add in that you dont wanna hurt them at all but u just dont wanna talk to them tell them your reason also

Answer 6

just tell them how you really feell.... in any way how ever you tell them that news its going to still hurt themm... but just do the right thing an do it niclyy an easyyy

Answer 7

Honesty is always the best policy. Just tell him, I'm quite sure he would rather for you to let him know how you really feel instead of leading him on. Just keep it real girl. If the shoe was on the other foot you would want someone to be open and honest to you. Keep it real!  

Answer 8

wel talk to them about the problem see if they will improve. if they dont the best way to tell them is ny just saying it straight and try not to be harsh. it is going to be very hard for u to get rid of them. wat is ur problem wit the person

Answer 9

well i guess if u told me why u want to do this it would be easier to answer.... i guess u can distance urself a little at a time then just stop talking to them. u can say u got a lot of work to do or something else to not speak to them  and they will get the hint that u don't want to talk to them anymore.  

Answer 10

If you don't want to talk to them anymore then you probably should be prepared for the consequences.  The other person may be mad, sad, or even say things about you that may or may not be true.

Be true to yourself.  Then once you have made that decision you can do 1 of two things.  

1. Tell them politely and quietly that you don't want to talk to them any more.  Be prepared for a barrage of questions like "what are you talking about?" "Why don't you want to talk to me any more".  You should be prepared with one short reply and leave it at that.  Many times people get caught up in guilt conversations and the person you don't want to talk to anymore drags you into, and engages you in more frustrating conversation.  

2. Don't tell them anything - just do not talk to them any more.

Either way you are going to have to be prepared for that persons attempts to draw you into future conversation.  You must not engage those conversations.

I don't know your situation but I have seen the technique used effectively in an office setting - There was one woman who was in charge of getting public input for a state politician.  Her day was filled with meeting after meeting of people who wanted to come in and be heard.  She had 10 minutes with each person.  She politely told them how much time they had and once there time was up, she would thank them and then her entire body language would change as she let them know that their time was up and she had to move on to the next person.  This is a little bit of an extreme but she did do this masterfully.

If you need to cut someone out of your life for some reason just make sure you do not let them continue to draw you back into conversations asking for explanations from you etc.

Good Luck.
