Ugh!

I cannot even go on Facebook to talk to someone I want to talk to because this other person that I don't want to deal with keeps messaging me about some business that I cannot afford to invest in! Ugh, I hate not being able to tell people off sometimes... I wish I had it in me but I just don't. I know he is just trying to make money but I have told him I can't do it already and its super annoying to keep getting asked!! Anyway, that was my rant for today, hope you enjoyed it and I am finished now.

Have you asked him if he understands the sentence, "I can't afford it"? If he says yes, ask him to tell you what it means. After he tells you, ask him, "What have I been telling you? Are you calling me a liar? Why should I do business with someone who thinks I'm a liar?" After that, tell him you don't want to hear anymore about it.

Can you not block him? If you look in settings there should be a way of blocking him or stopping him from messaging you. I only found out through posting here about not wanting someone to keep posting on my page. I am a private person and have my page set as private and only have a very few friends on Facebook.

That was my other option, but I didn't know if this friend was a close friend or not...

I guess I could block them too, I didn't think about that...I don't mind others seeing that I am on there but every time I try to talk to someone else this person blows me up!

Why don't you just tell him that you can't right now and that if the opportunity arrives, you will contact him?
• Valdosta, Georgia

I did that already and he just will not stop! He keeps asking, are you ready to join yet? Ugh, so annoying...

Then you need to be assertive and boldly tell him. "I will let you know, please do NOT ask me again"

I know, truly I do. Knowing isn't helping I need to put it into action which is the tough part for me! I will try my hardest just to tell them NO!

I honestly don't know what kind of a relationship that you have with this guy, so the suggestion that I'm going to give to you might not be something that you are able to do. However, if I was in a situation like the one that you are describing, I would first tell the person that financially I was not able to commit to the business at this time. If they were to keep on with me about it and nagging me about it, I would be the person that would block them on my facebook account.

I don't know him well... He just told me he had a job for me. I asked him what it was, he told me and then I told him I couldn't afford to invest in anything right now. But he keeps asking me about getting into it and training, etc... Yeah I am going to block him if he keeps it up!

Hi LovingMyBabies, I hate people that grab every opportunity to persuade and hasten me to join this and that Even though they are told I don't have any interest or unable to do so on account of lack of money Yeah, just like the case you are facing. Lucky that this doesn't happen when I log in facebook. May be all my fb friends are offline friends as well. To avoid having all kinds of undesirable problems that might occur anytime I fell reluctant to add people that I'm not familiar with to be fb friends. I hope that guy doesn't give you any disturbance anymore soon. Happy posting

Yes it is super annoying! I don't like people persisting anything after I have already said NO! No means no. Well this person I have known before somewhere else and did not think he was like that. Sadly, he is. I will be blocking him so I don't have to be annoyed anymore!

Hi LMB! It would be better to inform the person that you are interested in investment etc. and it would be appreciated if s/he stops sending messaging because such messaging irritates you. If someone does the same to me, I won't hesistate to inform me about my disinterest and disliking.

You mean to say even after your negative reply, s/he keeps persisting for investment etc.

I have told them that I am not interested and I will let him know in the future if I am interested in that time. So, I told him no. NO means NO. If he cannot understand that it is not my fault!

Why don't you delete this person from your frend's list? Why put up with it? And be honest with this person and tell them you can't afford it. If you can't tell him then you have to suffer the irritation and not be able to go on Facebook. I hope you can toughen up. Maybe as a New year's resolution.

Such people need to be ignored. I think a person can tougheen up when it comes to the outside world and still keep a kind and gentle heart.

Hi LovingMyBabies. With someone like this nothing short you can do but put your foot down and tell him to stop asking you when you have tried to tell him no. Say No means No and that is all you can do. Does facebook have a complaint department? Don't know never have and never will join facebook! Have heard so many bad things about it that it seems like not a good place to join. Good luck! I can't stand people like this! If he is on your friends list take him off if you can.
• Valdosta, Georgia

Yeah I know, I am just so easy on most people. Its hard for me to be tougher. Lol. I'm not sure if they have a complaint department or not... I will be blocking him if he doesn't stop doing it too.

That is one reason why I am always offline at the Facebook chat. I'd rather send messages to people I want to communicate with instead of using the chat box.

Yes, they would still notice you are online if you "liked" a certain photo or commented on a status. It shows up on the right side of the Facebook profile.

Even when you do that though they can still see that your online right? Because I turned off my chat one time and my cousin could still see that I was on!

Hi there. It's horrible when people keeps on bugging a person even after they have received a message to stop. Perhaps if you 'inbox' the person and ask him/her to stop asking you? Tell him/her that you will contact him/her when you are interested?
• Valdosta, Georgia
20 Dec 12
Yes I agree, I cannot stand it! If I say no it means no!! Lol. He should stop asking me. I already told him I'm not interested but if I am ever interested in the future I will let him know!

Just ignore him. Maybe you will hurt his feelings if you would refuse or somethin. I know that feeling of getting annoyed. If he is getting into your nerves, then unfriend/block is the solution :)

That's why Facebook has a block button and an unfriend button. If you don't want to go that far, just ignore the messages when they pop up and don't respond.

That is what privacy settings are for. While Facebook has not always made it easy to maintain one's privacy on the site, it is still possible to keep a low profile on there. I know, because that is how I generally handle things on there. While I want to stay in touch with people, I also don't want to be letting certain people know some details of my life, because those people are just too gossipy--and are friends with people I am not connected to for a variety of very good reasons.

I am not on there often and I only log on to talk to one person. I don't update my status most of the time or anything... So, I am either going to have to ignore him or block him so he can no longer bother me about this stupid business!

I would recommend blocking this jerk. If he won't take no for an answer,blocking is the next thing. I have blocked people before on Facebook. The last person I did is quite annoying! I warned other people to block him,too! I knew this guy would become annoying if you would friend him! Sure enough someone friended him and the annoying guy would leave this other person alone! Annoying guy will be blocked by this other perosn! Sometimes you have to do what you have to do!

Yes I am going to block him because I don't want to keep having to deal with him and his begging! First of all, I do NOT pay anyone to work! Second, I don't have the kind of money he wants. So I will block him so he can no longer bother me with this mess.

Hello there! There are really annoying people around us. Since this person can message you, I presume he/she is your friend in facebook? I suggest that you unfriend him/her in facebook so that he/she can't send you chat messages. You will be less annoyed by them because her/his message will go to your inbox and you have an option then to read or not the message. I hope this could help. ;) Happy Holidays!

My coworker is just like you, she always thinking of others feelings and not telling them off. Can you just show yourself offline, and message the person you want too?. I know I do it all the time when I don't want to talk to anyone, just one person in particular.

Yeah I am the same exact way, offline and online! I have a huge problem with not being able to be mean to people. My husband constantly gets mad at me for that. He says why do you let people treat you that way? Or why don't you stand up for yourself?
