How to Push People Out of Your Life Because You're Scared Of Connection
danger signs - keep out

Whoops, you got in too deep in a personal relationship. Wouldn't want to risk having a person in your life you connect with well and genuinely enjoy unconditionally, so now you have to start the process of getting out of that whole mess.

The best way to start, is to start is to see them less and less. Basically, find some reason to not see them in person. Maybe you take on a hobby that makes you more busy and as a plus, you start to develop a new skill. If hobbies aren't your thing, you could try something else to occupy your time with other things. You could read and study, go for drives, explore your surroundings, join a cult, or go to jail. Ease off the face to face time until you just slip away.

On the chance you don't have the luxury of just getting more busy, for example having a class together or being a part of the same group that meets regularly. A solid way is to ice them technologically. Do not send them anything and do NOT respond to anything. If you happen to be so bold, turn on your "read" option, so they know you read their messages, but decided not to respond.

Chances are, this person really gets you or got you at one point of time where you both really enjoyed each other. So, change your personality! Changing your personality can be very DIY, just never trust your gut instincts and go with the second or third choice you would make. If you don't think you can keep up an entirely different personality, there's always hypnotism. Changing your personality will (best case scenario) make the person think they just got to know you a little more and then realize you aren't who they thought you were. Or it'll send the message that you don't want to be around them anymore.

These tactics should work, but if they aren't, you can always move away without explanation. Ever get the urge to travel or to start a new life? Follow those impulses and get out of there. This is a good tactic, however, it's also kind of like giving up because you're trying to push them out of your life, not run away, so think hard about this before you go with it.

Another great tactic is to disagree with everything they say. A good tactic for meeting people is to match the energy, so when trying to unmeet someone just oppose the energy. Disagree with everything they say, say things you know will make them feel weird, throw everything you know about good conversation skills out the window, throw actual things out the actual window. Whatever you do just make it unpleasant.

Remember, you can't let people get too close because it releases control, so if anyone tries, they get da boot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
