[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need a break from this person. She doesn’t understand other people’s POV so I doubt she’s going to be receptive to a conversation. Over the last week, I’ve been ignoring her calls and texts. I will “thumbs up” or “laugh react” over text but that’s about it. She has called me over 25 times in the past 3 days and texts me asking when I can call her back. I have replied that I’m extremely busy this week (and I am!).

Is it okay to pull away from a friendship without explicitly telling the person that’s what you’re doing?

Fwiw: I just need like a few weeks without her constantly calling and texting me. I’m not ghosting her and it’s not going to be forever. I just need to get my bearings in my own life right now. [/quote]

What you're doing is immature.  Tell her you aren't feeling well and need to rest a few days and will circle back when you're better.  Thumbs up only is basically ghosting.  [/quote]

PP, I am busy. Today she has been nonstop calling, texting and otherwise trying to get my attention. She wants to talk to me about credit card offers (per her last slew of texts ) and she has been sending me links about a local news story. I run a small home based business and told her at the beginning of the week that this was going to be a hellish week. I am slammed with orders. This is a person who always manages to bait an argument so I don't really want to talk to her right now since I have 50 other things going on right now. She just texted me again and said, "I'm going to call you again at 5, be near your phone". I replied that I likely won't as I won't be done with these orders until midnight at the earliest. She replied that she just wants to talk for "like 20 mins".

I just can't engage right now.[/quote]
