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 Something like "It's not me, it's you" ?

@Elegy lol...it should be "It's not you. It's me! "🤪

SW-User

@Elegy Lol, something more specific than that. But that's just me. I'm considerate when I communicate. Even if its harsh to hear, I'd rather say the truth than waffle around.

@Vivaci No no, it was right the first time. :p

@SW-User So maybe... "you make me want to die inside, goodbye" .

Vivaci

@Elegy 🤣😂 geez, that would be mean then.

SW-User

@Elegy If they make you want to die......I'd not be so harsh. Id say something like I don't like myself when I am with you. 🙃

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

Vivaci

@SW-User So nicely put. 👍️😏

SW-User

@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.
