Question

Is it rude to tell someone that you just don't want to talk/communicate tonight

Answer 1

its never rude to tell someone how you feel and what you don't and do want to do. if they take it too seriously then they are being rude to you.

Answer 2

Not at all.  Just be nice about it.  After all, you have the right to have your quiet time.

Answer 3

Not at all, i would be more offended if my friend chose to talk to me when they didnt feel like it. Honesty is best :D

gemma, x*x

Answer 4

No, because you could always blank them... avoid them.. etc.. Now that would be rude.,

Answer 5

Not at all.  You have the right to decide for yourself, nor do you need to explain yourself.

Answer 6

a little, the best thing is to tell them that you're sorry, but you're just not in a talking mood, and that you'll talk tomorrow

Answer 7

How would that be rude?  You are in charge of your own life and your privacy.  People have to know how you wish to be contacted or not.  If you allow others to tell you this you are in trouble.Take charge of your own life and let others know how you wish to be involved.  Don't take phone calls and don't allow others to just show up at your home.  It's as simple as that.

Answer 8

It is your life they are wasting, be more assertive if this happens, it is not theirs to waste, but yours to choose what you do with it, and your hours are yours to decide, too, it is not rude, if they are told no.

It could be if you say it right, though, if you need a little help at this, I have a couple of words in mind, that you might like to use, if they are persistent, and will not let go of you, and the second of these is,  "off"

That usually helps people get the message, rudeness has it's place in conversation these days I fear, so if the timing is right , feel free to use this handy phrase, the time of yours, they waste, will never come back again, it will also get the message across, that you mean what you say, because people do not listen if you are polite, these days, alas....

Answer 9

Yes it is rude.  I know lying is wrong but sometimes it makes a situation less awkward.  What you can say instead is that I am really tired I had a long day let me head to bed I will call you tomorrow.  Or say I was in the middle of something let me call you back.  But saying I don't wanna talk tonight is really rude.
