Re: Pushy friend won't accept "no"

(Anonymous) 2014-11-27 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
To be perfectly honest, this doesn't sound like much of a friendship to me, so losing it doesn't sound that bad of a consequence. Imagine a world where you guys aren't friends and she doesn't contact you at all. Do you feel relieved at the prospect?

Be firm, anon. Don't offer any elaborate reasons why you can't live together for her to argue with. In fact, don't offer any reasons at all if you can. Just "No." and "I don't think it's a good idea." If you're feeling generous, allow her a few "But whyyyyyyyyyyys" and simply repeat your straight, "No. Can't live with you, sorry."

And then announce your decision is final and you don't want to talk about it anymore and then change the subject. If she won't give up and quit, leave the conversation. "Gotta go, talk to you again soon!"

Keep calm, don't raise your voice, and have all your responses be emotionally flat if you can. Don't let her provoke you. She'll try, but don't give in because if she gets into your house you'll be miserable and getting her out again will A MILLION TIMES MORE AWKWARD AND HORRIBLE.

Good luck.
