Is there someone you try to avoid?

Yes, my in laws.. I do it all of the time. I get tired of seeing them. After living with them for five years, I have had enough of seeing them all the time. I need a big break from them.. I will talk to them, every now and then, but they will come to my home, and sometimes I will stay in the room just to avoid from being around them..

i have an ex friend that is like a serious bug a boo. I never call her back when she calls and leaves messages. But she is someone that will literally come to your house if you dont answer the phone. And the reason i try to avoid her is because she i not on my level as far as life wise she is still trying to leave as if she is in high school. Plus she is a liar, she lies about everything in her life and one thing about me i cant stand people who have to lie about what they have. So one night when i lived at my moms we she called and i didnt answer the phone. She called maybe 5 time in 10 minutes.This is on someone's home phone. So then around 10 o clock we heard the door bell and i knew i wasnt expecting anyone. so when we went to the door it was her and you could tell she wasnt sue if we would be at home because when we answered the door she was like oh good hold on and she ran to get her little girl out of the car. She has done that to me several times even if i dont tell her where i stay she will find out and even if she doesnt know what apartment i live in she will walk around the whol apartments until she see's my car or me.

Actually I feel pretty guilty as I have one neighbor who is really a very nice person but when they see me they talk and talk and talk and I don't want to hurt their feelings by just cutting them off. Now I look out the window before I leave the house to make sure he is not around.

I am avoiding most of my family now. My oldest daughter owes money to most everyone in the family and hasn't tried to pay it back. She and her husband have jobs and could start paying people back now. I understood when she wasn't working, but now my relatives want me to pay her bills. She is almost 30 and I feel she should pay her debts. She and her husband are making good wages and are now buying a house. I'm really mad at my family for requesting money from me for her debts. My business is suffering and I can't pay her debts. Many years ago, I borrowed money from family members and paid all of it back with interest. It was to start my business and I really appreciated the help. I am quite sad to see once again money is a big problem.

This just happened to me the other day..LOL. Sometime ago, I related the story about this woman I had bumped into last year...I had seen her in the neighborhood before and knew since I had seen her so many times before that she was an "old" time resident. So we did start yakking and discovered we did have some similarities, she has two cats, I have two cats, she's on SSI I'm on SSI..so she started telling me all the problems she was having with SSI, so we exchanged phone numbers and email addresses since I told her I would email her to give her the name and phone number of that representative that helped me so much last year when my benefits were cut. Okay some time passes by, don't see her and she didn't email me for awhile...Then around February, I bump into her again near the supermarket we both shop in and she's rattling off a mile a minute about all the problems she's having,...SSI again, being threatened with eviction, her utilities being cut off...sheesh..so again I told her I would email her with all this info...the representative of that Congressman again...apparently she never contacted the woman first time round,...then gave her great advice about a free legal service, on and on...well I'm giving her all this info..it's up to HER to contact people not me..then she actually had the nerve to call me at 1:30 a.m...yes in the morning..and nope didn't answer...I mean yikes. I mean I didn't want to appear uncaring, but like I wanted to tell her, hey, what do you want from me? I'm not SSI, I'm not a lawyer, YOU have to make these calls NOT ME. Anyway, hadn't heard or seen her in awhile... Anyway, the other day while I'm in the supermarket...YIKES...she's there....fortunately she has lousy eyesight...LOL...and honestly though I was doing this duck and hide thing in the isles of the store trying to avoid her, as I just knew she was going to rattle off some other disaster or another and Ijust didn't want to listen as that particular day I just plain was feeling like shat..really lousy so last thing was hearing someone shooting their mouth off a mile a minute at me...It must have been funny though. If anyone had watched me do this duck and hide thing they must have thought I was daft. And just why is it...we tend to bump into people like this when we feel like do-do ca-ca anyway?

There are lots of people I like to avoid. Actually, if I could, I probably would become a hermit. Some people I enjoy their company a good bit (like my hubby's or a few friends) but many people really drive me crazy. Unfortunately some of them are family so I can't very well do much to avoid them!

Yes, I try to avoid my mom's friends, because they ask alot of questions I don't have the answers too. I sometimes also avoid family and friends when I don't feel like socializing.

There is one man that lives near me and I've known all my life. He also use to come into the office where I worked. He talked nonstop and no subject was too personal. I haven't seen him in a while but I remember when I was still working at the office even my boss would turn the other way and try to hide when he saw him.

Yes. There are few people whom I try to avoid. I avoid them due to many reasons. I try to be good to everyone who is good to me. But, it is always better to avoid people whom you meet and feel sad and think that you would not have met. It's better to avoid such people.. I feel.

There is this girl i avoid...I just can't stand her, when she starts talking she just doesn't stop. Se keeps going, going, going and going on...It is so hard to just say stop talkig, I don't want to be rude so I just try to avoid her.

There are 2 people from my past that I wouldn't be particularly happy coming across. 1 was a highly abusive friend who acted like a jealous boyfriend and tried to control my life instead of improving her own. The other is another former friend who had to be the centre of attention, no matter what the situation was. This included having to have the attention of my boyfriend, even when her own was there too. I guess she couldn't stand to not have the full attentions of the room on her. While I wouldn't be at least polite and courteous towards them if I were to see them, I wouldn't be actively seeking them out as they really made me feel as though I didn't really exist or count as a person.

I avoided a very dear friend a few years ago and have regretted it since.. I hadn't seen her for a few years and saw her in a department store one day, she was always so chatty and I knew that I would never get away from her if I spoke.. I ducked into another aisle and then left the store soon after, but have regretted this over the years.. I don't know how to contact her now and really wish that I had the time to get our friendship going again but she is the type that can talk for hours at a time and I really don't have the time for that much gabbing.. I do love her dearly although..

Well, I try and avoid my exwife every chance that I get. Its not that I don't like her....well actually it is because I don't like her. If I run across her (figuratively speaking of course) I spend very little time...as little as possible in conversation, and simply just say that I have to go do whatever it may be.

i have a fomer classmate... who has a really low self esteem and keep putting people down. she will just keep degrading our dreams and keep calling us stupid. i think she is really immuture and she will have a bad life later if she does not change her attutude.

I try to avoid my boss. He can be a real jerk most of the time. Luckily, I work 3rd shift a lot of the time, so I rarely ever see him. :)

Yes.....there is a "friend" I met about three years ago. I befriended her when they first moved to town...and the more I got to know her the less I liked her.....I have even changed my email address and not let her know....I don't answer the phone when I see on caller ID that it's her....but you know what? She showed up at work the other day!!! I couldn't believe it! You would think she would get the hint!

My husband's ex-wife! It's not much of a problem now that we've moved three states away, but there are occasions on which it almost impossible to avoid seeing her. She always puts on the "nicey-nice" act like we're the best of friends in front of everyone, but turns back into the wicked witch of the west when you're alone with her!

I always try to avoid my supervisor at work. He's always trying to catch me up with slackness no matter what I do, always trying to be perceptive about my failings and doesn't know what he's talking about. Besides, I have a lot more experience in this work than he does. Plus, he does very little since he doesn't have to. Its always better when he's not around. And if all that is not valid as a reason to avoid someone, I don't know what is.

Yes there is this lady I used to live down the road from. She's a drama junky and was forever trying to drag me into her messes. We moved away from her and all was great, until about 4 months ago I saw her in our local walmart. I dang near broke my ankle when I dipped into the nearest isle. Every time I see her now I go to the other end of the store. My kids laugh at me but when I say "Then you go talk to her" they run too.

Yes. I've been trying to avoid my once so-called 'friend' who manipulates me by asking me to splash money for a business and said that I would be boss and get all of the profit when the fact is after 6 months, i do not get much profit because even if he did gave me all of the earnings for the business, he keep asking me to buy him food and pick him up from his house which in the end, cost me a lot of money. I will want to avoid him for all my life now that i have closed the shop.
