I went to a family reunion a couple of weeks ago.. and a first cousin (male)and a second cousin (female) both have called me everyday since? Do you

Do you find that strange. Too needy? Bored? Why? It gets tiring. What would you do?

Pay then back the money you owe...🤣
@ozgirl512 Good morning Oz. I don’t owe anyone money that I’m aware of. Now.. let’s see how many owe me… lol 😮
@ozgirl512 Bad thing is he texts me throughout the day. I’m busy… 😮

Don’t answer the phone. You make the rules. It’s nice to keep in touch with family, and perhaps they were impressed with you, and want to stay in touch. Only problem is their definition of “stay in touch” is different from yours, so you set your own boundaries. Let it go to VM, and respond 24-hours later, then you can respond 48-hours later, etc; until you reach a time that’s best for you. This is the kinder gentler way to wean people off you. Of course, you may want nothing to do with them at all, and just ignore them. That’s one extreme, but really it’s up to you to set your boundaries.
@Carissimi I like your suggestions.. I’m already on it. Lol

Yeah it would get tiring. Maybe they are lonely, tell them you are busy if you don’t feel like talking so much. I would start feeling smothered.

@NoGamesTolerated She got up early to clean the laundromats at the university apartments and thought she’d drop by since she was there. Very intrusive.
@cherokeepatti But still… she should call and ask first.

@NoGamesTolerated I wouldn’t even want a call at that time of morning when I was working late. I usually went to sleep at 3 a.m.

Sounds like a bit much....surely you feel it is. If their "newfound fervor" doesn't subside soon you might have to tell them to ease off a bit. (Hard to believe they haven't picked up on the fact that you are uncomfortable with it already)
@bowman81 I’ll have to be as discreet as possible but I will handle it. Lol one has to do what one has to do. 🙂

@NoGamesTolerated maybe they want someone to hang out and run around with
@cherokeepatti they both do.. lol

@NoGamesTolerated I gotta idea then. They can hang out with each other

I’d just not bother answering the phone.
I like them both but I don’t have that kind of time.
