Getting me down

3 replies

I don’t know why but there are some toxic needy people I need to get rid of.

One woman and a guy only contact when something has gone wrong and to moan. Another friend keeps talking to her abusive ex and wants to go on holiday with me. It won’t be a holiday as she will talk about him the whole time. Another guy from my old running club keeps contacting me more since I got with my boyfriend.

On the whole these people keep messaging at 11pm on Facebook messenger. I don’t like Facebook as people can see if you are online and these disrespectful people want to dump their baggage at bedtime.

I like to use Facebook as I am a member of some groups but feel I can’t use it now these toxic people will know I am online.

I want happy positive friends with fulfilling lives. Not ones who are negative with nothing going for them using me for free therapy.

Stop replying until it suits you too

You can turn off your active status on fb so nobody can see you but I personally would just mute any conversations with people I dont want to talk to and ignore them.

Yes, go into private settings and turn off active status.Also agree with @baileys6904 reply the next day or when convenient with you.
The people who are always off loading their problems on to you, maybe leave replying for a couple of days, will soon get the hint.
