Q&A for How to Avoid Someone

You won't be able to forget them completely, but you can focus on not caring about them anymore.

Confront her privately. Tell her calmly and politely exactly why you're ending the friendship. Don't get angry, try to be the more mature person. Tell her you wish her the best, but you feel like the friendship is unhealthy because she is mistreating you and not valuing you as a friend.

Call the police and get a restraining order. Stalking is not safe.

Talk to his friends, but not him. If you are uncomfortable with his friends, then just physically maintain distance from all of them and get out your phone, a book or something else to look at until one of your friends turns up. When your friends turn up, stay with them and continue to stay away from the guy.

Be with another friend of your or go to places he/she wouldn't go to. Go to class early and hang out with everyone there as protection.

Make sure you tell the person that you don't want anything to do with them. Surround yourself with your friends and loved ones instead.

Sit as far away from this person as possible, both on the bus and in class. Besides that, follow the above tips.

It will be impossible to totally avoid him, but you can minimize your interaction with him by hanging out with one (or, preferably, several) friends. He's less likely to approach you threateningly if you're not alone. Don't let him bully you into immature behavior like fighting that will likely only get you both into trouble. If he taunts you, calmly shake your head, tell him you don't have time for this, and walk away.

Just don't let him/her back into your life. Make it absolutely clear that it is over. If he or she is stalking you, speak to the police about a restraining order.

Calmly tell her your feelings and what you want. Don't just say "Oh, go away I don't want to be your friend!" Just say what you are feeling. You could tell her you just want to not be friends, and just be civil with her. If this doesn't work, just avoid her. She'll soon notice you don't want to be friends with her and that you want her to go away.

Try to stay at home. If you're fine with it, inform the other people in your household about it and avoid the door if the bell rings, so they can tell them you're not at home. If you really have to, you can just ignore the doorbell.

Don't give them any of your attention. Don't make eye contact, don't say a word, just walk by like they don't even exist.

That's a tough issue. Assuming you have no way to get out of your current routine, creatively find a way to just keep your distance. If you both go to the same gym at the same time, take a different route and exercise in a different room. If you work together, be distantly polite and avoid them as much as you can. If you end up in the same places, have glazed eyes near them and refuse to connect.

This is out of your control. If said sister has a dislike towards you, then perhaps it may be wise to avoid her too.

Tell someone. If you're a kid, talk to an adult, like a teacher, guidance counselor, or principal, or tell your parents what's going on. If you're an adult, tell the police.

It depends. Find someone you do like in the room and talk to them. Pretend that you and that person are really busy in talking about something, to allow you to ignore the other person. If there is nobody you know to talk to, either pluck up the courage to talk to someone you would like to get to know or try to make yourself look as busy and distracted as possible. You can also try hiding in plain sight by being quiet, inconspicuous and staying down low.

Try telling him you're not interested. If he still tries to get physically closer to you, try telling an adult because this can lead to inappropiate behavior.

If the teacher isn't yours, then avoid them as you would avoid anyone else. If you're in that teacher's class, stay quiet and try to avoid attention. If the teacher goes out of their way to make your experience difficult, talk to another person like a counselor or the principal; they can talk to the teacher and ensure that they are treating all of their students fairly and equally.

Just ignore them and only speak when it is necessary to communicate something as a teammate.

Talk to him and ask him if you did something wrong to make him dislike you. If you did something wrong, apologize. Maybe the two of you can work it out. If not, just avoid this person, sometimes people just don't get along.

Pretend that they don't exist and move on with your life. Or, if you still want to be with them, then try to forget it and let it pass if you're that type of person. If it's not working then move on or make new friends.

This depends on the situation or the circumstances or reasons why you parted. If the reason is strong and if there is a chance to correct the mistake, then explain the person about the mistake and ensure that the mistake doesn't get repeated again in the life. There will be many things why a person loves even after a big fight or huge loads of exchange of words cause that's the unconditional love. All we need is to avoid the words or statements like: "I am busy, My mom/dad or husband / friend is with me, I can't take your call, I don't need to give the answer", etc.

Option A: Move out of the house. Option B: Tell your parents to get over themselves (unless you want money, then don't take option B). Option C: Maybe you should take your parents' advice because they are there to look out for you and help you along the road of life. There's likely a reason they don't like this person.

Just say that to your heart, and do your best to stop thinking of her. Then avoid conservation between you both. If you are true friends, then avoid her friendship. Automatically you create a goal, and you spend your time with your goal.

Tell her that there is already too many people coming to the party and you are unable to invite any extra people. Make sure you invite all the people you want there before telling her this. If she asks before you do then say that you don't know the exactly plans for the party yet.

You should tell them that you no longer want to be their friend and for them to not contact you anymore. Tell them it is not personal, but do not answer the calls or texts anymore.

Be friendly and polite, but try to avoid situations (like get-togethers and parties) where you'd have to hang around with them for long stretches of time. The best way to protect your heart (and avoid disrupting their relationship) is to maintain some distance.

That's tricky. You can try to hang out with them when she's not around, but if that doesn't happen often, you may need to either find a different friend group or figure out a way to get along with her.

Then just tell her directly to leave you alone. If this isn't possible, and if you are in a school or college, then let a principal, teacher, or professor that has this person know about it.

As you grow up, more and more of the responsibility that comes with being human is transferred to you. Babies cannot be expected to change their own diapers, or buy and cook their own food. At some point, young adults will have all things in life in their own hands: paying taxes, eating, work, etc. Ask yourself where you stand in that transition. There is no point in telling your dad again and again that you don't want to spend time with him: you tried that and saw the result, the situation is still the same. Instead, take some responsibility by talking to your dad. You have to spend time at his house, what can you each do to make that time useful, or who knows, enjoyable?
