I have this person that really triggers my anxiety. She is so manipulative and sometimes down right mean. I really dont want anything to do with her, but she keeps teksting me and trying to become friends again. I have forgiven her before but I always end up feeling so betrade and hurt by her so I really dont want to do this anymore. I have tryed to just step back, but it does not work. I dont wont the drama cause I really cant handle it. How do I make her just go away?

There's just one way -- tell her to get out of your way and never ever come back again.

i read a taoist quote that i liked: demons that enter your circle must be pushed out.

she sounds very toxic. you could text her that you no longer will respond to her. and then delete anything from her without reading. you could try explaing but then manipulative people use that to manipulate more.

good luck.

I "dumped" a friend a few years back. I just didn't return her calls or text messages. If I answered the phone and it was her, I was very aloof and promptly wrapped up the call by saying saying someone was at the door or that I was in the middle of something.

Tell her exactly what you think of her ie do a hatchet job on her obnoxious personality - this has always worked well for me.

Thanks for all the advice. I would love to just ignore her, but then my housband thinks I am being a b***h. the problem is that he is friends with her boyfriend. My housband even said that we could have them for dinner and I could just put on a smile and play along for a couple of hours..I dont know..sounds like torture. My housband does not understands how she makes me feel. He has been very surportive and I love him so much, but he will never understand how hard socialising is for me. whritting this post just helped me decide..I will not have her in my house. If that makes my housband upset..well he can go to their house instead.
