She Never Gets the Hint

I had a friend in middle school, who I parted paths with in high school. She got into the drug scene, I wanted nothing to do with it. Even back then she never got the hint, and would still show up at my house unannounced (and uninvited,) after making my life hell at school, acting like we were still friends, and I would always refuse to see her. I made it clear that I wanted no part of the path she had chosen.
Well, that was 20 years ago. I have not talked to her since I was 15, nor do I have any desire to rekindle any friendship with her. Since the invention of social media, she has persistently tracked me down across various platforms and messages me like we're old chums. I never respond and have blocked several of her profiles. Still, she finds a way to send her messages. You would think she would take a hint!
Sure, maybe she's changed now, but I have no good memories of our friendship and I want nothing to do with her. She was a backstabber and she chose to befriend my enemy because she could get drugs from him and his mother. I am not a forgiving person and I will never forgive that, or the fact that she tried to have me jumped after school multiple times our freshman year in high school. Lately she's taken to messaging me at my author's page on Facebook, since she's blocked from my regular profile. I take it she must not have changed too much, because she still hasn't gotten the hint 20 years later that we're no longer friends!

If you have blocked her and she is persistently trying to get you to respond to her. I would report her to Facebook as a stalker.

@Srbageldog I can understand, I wonder how can you block her on every media you are, so she stops annoying you.

@LadyDuck I have her blocked from my Facebook profile, but somehow she manages to message me on my author's page on there, even though I can't respond because she's blocked. It's very odd to me that she is still able to message me. She has done so twice this month.

I told her 20 years ago when we were teenagers. I have ignored every message, never accepted her friend requests, and have even blocked her...you would think that would be a clear indication that I don't want to reconnect. I just don't want to deal with any drama if I respond and she gets all offended over my response.

@Srbageldog what gets me is if they had THAT much interest in the band they might still be around. for F's sake it was a tribute..

Some people are just pathetic. Guess they'll never get it through their thick skulls to leave you alone.

@Srbageldog That's actually a good probability. Some people are that crazy. It isn't difficult to create multiple profiles.

I banned her from my page. Hopefully that solves the problem...unless she creates a new profile to stalk me with!

I ended up banning her from my author page. Now she shouldn't be able to pester me anymore.

Thanks. I've been ignoring her messages and not accepting her friend requests since the days of Myspace...you'd have thought she would get the message! But no, she followed me to Facebook, and eventually I blocked her...I'm not even sure how she's still able to send messages to my page!

I found out the ex-friend that I talked about here, the one that told me she wasn't playing pool this year and then did and just replaced me did so because I didn't go out anymore really, didn't seem to matter it was because I was sick for the last 4 years. Now that I'm on my to healing since the surgery. I have found out thru the grapevine she has been going to my Facebook page to see if she can find out anything. Which she cant as everything is set to friends and I unfriended her as soon as she did that to me.
I think she thinks I will forgive her as I did one other time thou it took 5 years. This time it is a total no go. I will never talk to her again. I don't know why some people are like this and I hope this one stops bugging you too.

Exactly. I don't need that type of person in my life. She was a very toxic person.

I say, just ignore her. I did that to a cousin of mine who was actually super close to me but she changed after having a bf and she acts all high and mighty that I blocked her in FB. She got the hint though because I refused to talk to her. She was not even invited in my wedding. I do not tolerate those kind of people.

We shouldn't have to tolerate people who are toxic to us! I'm glad you blocked your cousin and ended the relationship, you don't need to put up with someone who acts like that.

@Srbageldog Yes, Stacy. I still want to be imperfect since I am human plus they have this insecurity issues. That girl just never seemed to stop and get a life of her own. I think she does that with other people too besides you.

That is what you would think, but she has been sending me messages every few months for the last 13+ years!! Which is why I eventually blocked her, but still she finds a way to do it!

It sounds like she's trolling you or cyber bullying you.
Dont let her intimidate you.

I hope so. I don't know what else to do to get the message through to her.
