It's going to upset them either way.
You just got to be straightforward. And explain to them its not working for you.

@SW-User Jesus... you may be the most mature person on SW. 😆
You should be a speech consultant/mediator. 😃

@SW-User So nicely put. 👍️😏

@Elegy I think it's about compassion and caring enough to treat the person with respect, even when we want nothing to do with them. I hate the thought of not making things clear.
It doesn't make me popular, thats for sure. So perhaps, mediation is out for me. I am too honest.

I tried that and they wouldn't stop contacting me, so they got blocked.

Just say that you've lost interest. Don't ghost them.

I guess block them and don’t unblock them
Block them....then unblock them after a few days. Hopefully they'll get the message....🙃

@Vivaci that's not good. It's technically a mind game coz it won't affect us but them. Same thing if is done to you, you probably won't be enjoying much. 🙂
@SW-User I agree. Which is why I was only suggesting a nonverbal way of doing it without hurting them.
I haven't tried this ever, only coz I rarely block people.

There's probably no way to say it without sounding mean

Just gradually pull away until you no longer have contact. Tried and tested.

Just keep it simple and say goodbye.
