Oh man, gently refusing someone will be tough, but still necessary. I adhere to the motto: honestly is the best policy. Take this as an example:‘I’m really very touched that you’d think of me. Unfortunately, I see our relationship in a more friendly light and hope this does not affect our relations.’

Anyway it is better to end on a high note than to make things too much worse Goodbye all and have your say. Once the final word has left our mouth... Somehow, though, it doesn't make a pang in my heart. Let us say goodnight. Everyone needs others who can give back their feelings.

Just as with any delicate scenario, though, turning someone down politely requires empathy, honesty and a healthy dose of tact. You might be tempted to gloss over the problem and expect they would pick up on things themselves.

But it is best to confront them according to what they said. Your words matter so much right now. Initially acknowledge the courage of their feelings. Then quite gently put forward your own : ‘It took great courage for you to tell me how you felt.’

However, don't fail to soften your words a little with a couple of points that are favorable to you both: ‘You taking this step and letting me know is something tremendous. I really appreciate it. I feel I should also be truthful with you now. I think of you as a friend more than anything else.’

But, also, do try to sweeten your words with a dash of optimism : ‘This doesn't mean our friendship isn't enjoyable or that the time we spend together I hold in high regard.’ In the end, it is all about treating their feelings with as much compassion, kindness and fairness as you can summon forth.

Perhaps it is hard, but let me assure you that it is a lot better than leading them on with false hope. After all, as Alfred Lord Tennyson said, ‘'Tis better to have loved and lost than never have loved.” Now let me do for you as your friend.

how to hypnotize someone

3 answers2025-02-12 12:31:49
While I don’t advise this without proper training, the process of hypnotism generally involves a few steps. First, the person to be hypnotized must be relaxed and comfortable. Then, you’d need to create a scenario or image they can focus on. This could be anything from a peaceful beach scene to a wall of pictures. After that, you'd guide the person to a state of relaxation focusing on this scenario. Following this, you'll introduce suggestions or affirmations that align with their goals. Remember to reassure them about their safety and control during the process.

how to annoy someone

Here is my question to you: is there anyone who knows more about the subject than I do? The key to becoming irritatingly is mere repetition. And take their tone of voice, their cough--by all means, it's a game I say. If that doesn't fit you, then just be sure to 'forget' their name on a regular basis so you can torture it in the weirdest ways around. Another good trick if they have any horror for material things is to tease them by wearing something of the type which sets their teeth on edge. And of course there's the famous "but why?" game asking out on anything honorary for which they've been standing up. That’s right, what we're aiming for here is not depressing them for an entire afternoon but simply a little bit of good-natured ribbing.

when you love someone quotes

There is such an old saying: Love is a feeling, when you like someone as much as your favorite hoodie. I think this sentence is particularly good for talking about love of the kind where comforts feels like home. It feels a 'just right' kind of comfortable 'air' as if I were slipping into an old, favorite hoodie. In addition, Oscar Wilde's "As long as you can play a song nobody can hear only you can hear, we don't care whether they are good-looking and well-dressed or not" gives expression to how love sets one alight. Love is not for good looks or fine clothes; it's because their soul's song strikes a chord that captures your heart.

how to tie a tie on someone else

4 answers2025-03-11 15:28:32
Tying a tie on someone else can feel a bit like an art form, especially for us who just want to look sharp on special occasions. Start with the tie around their neck, ensuring the wide end hangs about 12 inches lower than the narrow end. Cross the wide end over the narrow, bring it under, and up through the neck loop. Then, wrap it around front to create the knot. Pull that knot down snugly while holding the narrow end, and if they start to look uneasy, a quick smile helps ease them into the process. It might take a few tries, but by the end, they'll be rocking that tie like a pro!

what does muting someone on twitter do

Muting someone on Twitter is super handy when you want to keep your feed clean without causing drama. It hides their tweets from your timeline, so you won't see their updates, but they won’t know they've been muted. It's perfect for avoiding local news you don't care for, or just someone spamming your feed. You’ll still be able to send DMs to each other, so it’s a nice way to keep interactions under control. Think of it like a soft-block without the awkwardness of unfriending.
