[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about just being direct.

Send her a text and say "Hey NotJen, I realize you've been texting me, and wanting to join my instagram feed, etc... and I haven't responded.  I really only use instagram (or whatever) for close friends and family so I keep the group down.  In general I'm pretty maxed out in life these days so I just wanted to be upfront about that.  New friendships just aren't in the cards for me but I didn't want to just ghost you.  Take care and say hi to Jen for me sometime.  All the best, SayanaraSue"

THen ignore the burst of responses and keep denying her access wherever you like.  If necessary repeat in a month or so, more bluntly.  "NotJen, I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough but I keep my social media stuff pretty limited so I won't be adding you.  And I'm just not able to build a friendship with you or respond to your texts.  I hope you will respect that.  Take care."

Then the third time "NotJen, I am finding your repeated communications concerning.  Please stop contacting me."[/quote]

Thank you! I may try this.[/quote]

OP- I think you "triggered"something in her.  There is a comfort in seeing old friends and aquaintances from our past especially our youth when we didn't really have a care in the world.  This is a great response. [/quote]

While yes, the OP can do this, it's still pretty freaking weird. Social media and instagram etc are not really meant to be "exclusive" -- like you only invite the most elite people to your party. I'm sorry, but the reply is totally snobby and bitchy sounding. The girl sounds totally harmless. She sounds desperate for a friend and while naive and a bit ignorant of boundaries, it's sad because she seems lonely. The OP and this other poster who suggested these replies sound like "Mean Girls." We live in such a cruel shitty world.[/quote]
