People who talk too much. ?

Question

I've got a neighbour and he's so weird..he's an adult and im 17, and whenever i run into him i smile and try to avoid conversation, but he'll bring something up and keep talking and talking. He's really odd too..he tells me all about his life problems but i don't even know him..when im with my friends, he'll just stand there until i say something like " okay we have to go " What's worse, is that he comes right up in your face to talk and he mentions such personal and private things that I don't wanna hear about lol. Any way to avoid conversations with him? Even if there's no one else around?

Answer 1

speak to your parents about this.  you don't go into detail about his conversation, but you should stay away from him because if he is a pervert and you just standing there looking silly while he's communicating with you could end up in a tragic ending.

Answer 2

Proceed with caution.  You've already established you'll talk to him, and he's probably harmless.  Just don't rock the boat, but be gradually less interested and busy when you see him.

Answer 3

Depends on the subjects. But just say something like, "hey, I'll tell my dad to come over and talk to you about that. He's older and wiser than me and maybe able to give you his take on it."  If that doesn't deter him, tell your parents.

Answer 4

Stand up for yourself,it's because you smile and try to avoid him he knows your too embarrassed to say much.

Tell him straight but to the point and politely that you don't want to talk about these things.

Sometimes people need to be told,sometimes there's no other way but than to tell the truth,you don't have to be nasty or vindictive about it,just to the point.  

Answer 5

LOL, that guy is really weird, if he doesn't have any kids or wife, if I was you, I would have distance with this kind of a person. Also I would tell my parents about his behaviour and that he likes to talk much with me about his private life. So whenever, you see him, say hi then say "I have to go" that's it.

If he will keep on continue talking just ignore him, as I see how his behaviour is he probably is very lonely old man, that doesn't have any one to talk to, but he shouldn't tell everything about him to a girl age like you. That's sound too weird.

Answer 6

Avoid this person at all costs, tell your parents, tell any other adult, tell the police even if this man persists in haranguing and harassing you.   I would rather be rude and safe, than worry about his feelings.

Show him you have a back bone, tell him you have no time for him and be succinct and make no excuses. I hate to sound so alarming, but, the weaker and more docile you appear, the more likely you leave yourself open for any unwelcome advances or an assault.

Answer 7

Next time before you run into him, make sure the volume in your IPOD is loud enough for him to hear then just kinda wave your hand and continue to walk DON'T STOP even if he seems to be saying something.

or call somebody and talk on your cell. Hope either of this works. Good luck!

Answer 8

Tell him you're boyfriend doesn't want you to talk to other guys.

Answer 9

My husband and I have the exact same problem.  We once got to the point of avoiding getting the mail or going outside just to avoid this person.  What we do now is get the mail and act like we are on our cell phone having a very important conversation and just kind of nod at that neighbor.  Also helps to wear dark sunglasses and avoid eye contact.  We also act like we're in a hurry like we're late for something.  Eventually he's gotten the message.  Hope this helps.  I feel your pain.

Answer 10

haha! i don't know what to tell you! good luck! it makes for a funny story to tell people though!

Answer 11

RUN, SCREAM, AND LOCK THE DOORS!!

Answer 12

Well, I think there's a few things you could do. First off make sure to mention this situation to you parents and a few friends. It's better to have people looking out for you. You never know these days.

Tell him like this " Look, not to be rude, but I don't think you and I have much to talk about. We are in different age groups, so I don't really have any advice about your problems. I think we shouldn't talk anymore" (something like that anyways)

Make sure to carry a cell phone. That way if he starts messing with you again you can call a friend or parent to come get you. If this doesn't stop the problem, you could always let the cops know what's going on.
