How do you tell someone...

Question

How do you tell someone that they stink? ALSO

How do you tell someone that they arent your friend and that it would be best not to hang out?

Answer 1

ooohmmygosssh. i have no idea i have a "friend" like that. I don't want to be a mean person:(

Answer 2

For the stinky-ness, ask them what kind of deodorant or soap they use. Then suggest a better brand.

For the not hanging out, just say, "Hey. I think we should stop hanging out so much. It's really just not working out."

Answer 3

I had a friend like that

she smelt so bad so i just told her and she showered more, plus wore extra deoderant. TELL

and i think that you should choose who you hang out with plus i bet you have a reason to not want to. dont listen to that girl that called you a bad name. your not. you just need simple advice.

Answer 4

That's a tuff one.  You should just tell it straight.  But don;t embarrass them, get them on their own and tell them.  

Answer 5

hmmm. ask them if they had sprayed a new fragrance. then say it smells a little funny. when they tell u they're not, then they'll get the hint.  

Answer 6

wow i've totally been in this situation... okay so for starters if theres alot of you telling this person the news, keep it to one person telling them, or else they'll feel like they're being ganged up on.. Picture it like breaking up with someone, but keep it nice.  Just say you think you have different interests and you're both not getting anything out of the friendship anymore.

as for the stink part, I'd just let it go, but if it's really bugging you, leave an anonomous note or tell your teacher... this happened with my friend and my teacher was able to tell her.

hope this helps, good luck :)

Answer 7

i dont know about the stinky 1 but try that "just friends" b.s w/the other1

Answer 8

Ok first with the body odor problem, you should bring a little bag that contains deodorant, shampoo, conditioner and soap and say that your mom is giving out free samples and he or she should use them and get back to you the next day to tell you if they liked the product, that should make he or she smell better. As far as the friend situation I would nicely say that your going through some rough patches right now and that you will get in touch with that someone when the time is right. Good luck! :D

Answer 9

you could nicely tell them in private that they have a certain odor and that it s best that you two don't hang out. simple!!

Answer 10

Let me know when you find out the answer to the second question, because i have been trying to figure out the answer to that one as well.

Answer 11

to the second question:  try to be their friend.  if this is absolutely impossible, then just distance yourself.  they will eventually get a clue.

Answer 12

You sound like a *****! Get over yourself.

Answer 13

Just try to steer clear of them, and don't answer when they try to talk to you. They will get the picture eventually!

Answer 14

Slip the stinky person a stick of deodorant. And the person you dont want to hang out with just say I got other things to do sorry!

Answer 15

You ask them if they know in a private non threatening place. Be prepared that they will snub you. There feelings will be hurt.

Answer 16

just ignore... and he'll understand soon
