Depends what the did. I feel like in some cases an explication would be polite. It can really screw with a person to leave them wondering what they did wrong.

On the other hand, you have a right to cut ties with whoever for your own safety and comfort.

It’s my phone. It's not like I am murdering that person. Or hurting them in anyway. Neither am I being a douche by directly insulting them. I am not harassing them either.

What Zanny said, pretty much. It depends on the case.

If they are harassing you and do not understand from words so far, you owe them no explanation. Do what you need to do without hesitation. Likewise, if they are complete strangers. I don't think there is much to be said.

On the other hand, if it's someone you know and supposed to be on good terms with or at least you have been maintaining some decent communication, I'd say that the clearest thing to do would be to give them an explanation first before acting. Nothing to lose and respectable !!!!

I only ask because of this one “friend” of mine. She started out crushing on me (which I got tired of real quick 🙄), and I finally got her to just be friends. And I thought that’d be the end of it. Buuut, even as friends, she was still exhausting to talk to. She said she was OK with just being friends, yet, still remained extremely clingy. Extremely emotional, and overall overly dependent on me 24/7. She would also have this awful habit of constantly complementing me, telling me how cute I am. Basically going on about how much just loves me for whatever reason. It’s great that she liked me, it was just too much for me because she would CONSTANTLY compliment me:

Hell, she even continued to give me stupid pet names, even tho I’ve fuckin told her that isn’t what friends do, that’s more a couples thing. She also constantly asked me if I think she’s cute/pretty/funny, or if we’re still best friends. And then there’s the fact that she would constantly text/call me, even more so when I wouldn’t answer her right away. This would happen a lot—like when I’m in the shower or doing something really important that I need to focus on. And even when I told her I was busy, she’d ask specifically when I’m gonna be done being busy. And since the quarantine happened, she’d constantly ask me if we can stay up thru the night hours and talk.

And whenever she asks me if I wanna talk later, I’d say “sure”.... but then she’d be like, “Can we still text, tho?” And I honestly just got to a point where I realized she wasn’t going to stop. She wasn’t going to take a hint, so, I finally had enough and blocked her with 0 warning. I know that may seem harsh, but I honestly couldn’t take it anymore. I should have known from Day 1 that our personalities just didn’t mix well. She’s too dependent on someone to be in her life 24/7 and I’m far too reserved.

Giving her my number was the stupidest thing I’ve ever done.

Bruh, I blocked a similar friend and she tried to communicate with me from other numbers and accounts, but I didn’t reply. Similar situation. I don't hate her. I still am okay with her, but her behavior is something I can't take it anymore. She agrees but does the same thing over and over again and acts like we are in a relationship.

@ Ranty

Some people just can’t seem to distinguish platonic relationships from romantic ones. If I had known she was going to be like this, I would’ve never given her my number. Thankfully, she doesn’t know I’m on Facebook. Fun fact: I actually told her I deleted my Facebook account lol But even if she searched my name, she’d never find it. I’m under a different name on there.

if they set your pet on fire when you were asleep and then expected you to pay their medical bills after they drank your entire bottle of Clorox disguised as koolaid then absolutely block them
