How to reject someone politely

I feel instead of ghosting and just replying emojis because you are uncomfortable, is not a good way to handle the situation. Communication is two ways, if you are uncomfortable. Be honest, beating around the bush and ghosting are behaviours that should be avoided for effective communication. You should just say " I appreciate your gifts and kind gesture offering your help, however I am not very comfortable with it as we are not very close. I would appreciate if you could understand my point of view. Thank you so much once again." Treat people just the way you would like to be treated.

I usually just put 😊 or react emojis to the message then MIA (pretend I forgot to reply lol) if I don’t feel comfortable or I don’t want to continue the chat. Not everyone are blessed with cars and 2-3 helpers on standbys. I know they meant well but if I already rejected and she doesn’t accept it, then it’s her problem 😅.

Better to be silent for her messages, and ignore . Later she understands might be not interested. She seems disparately looking for some friendship or something. If you are not comfortable better ignore at the start it self .

You have a right to reject someone suspicious which u only know for a short period of time.Take care of ur family & children is more important.Just msg her ur busy.That's all.

there are people who are like that. n I always tell them why I uncomfortable because if I don't give return gift or know u that well, I really don't want take.

I will feel so stressed out if I were you. just react to her messages with emoji, hope she will get it

Not very normal, I think I’ll b freaked out too. Just reject n ghost her afterwhich

Just read and no reply or reply at a much later time. She will get it. Let’s hope

just ghost her
