Made a pal, bit of a whiner, demands too much praise, no empathy in return. He needs to find another emotional tampon.

 

Typically have seen him once a week, went to every 10 days, then 14. Decided on no more home visits since he's hard to get to leave.

 

What's your ultimate final fade technique when off-loading dead wood?

Dont answer calls, messages or the door bell

I used to blow off ugly internet dates by claiming to be severely depressed.

 

Which I only realized I was as a result of that date.

I'd make it 14 years if I knew you.

I'm going to start my new dead-wood ghosting thing right here with you.

 

Tho a classic ghosting is where you just stop cold. Please don't feel the need to respond.

See you in 2037.

Make yourself unavailable every time you talk. Excuses to shop, get a haircut, help on the farm. He;ll get the idea after awhile.

Then you won't have problems later

Failing that, F*#@ off usually works, and if that fails, add and die...

My mate said that to me. A week later do you want a beer?

 

 

Never felt the need to ghost anyone. One f##k off from me is usually enough.

All my friends are in Oz. I don't have any fake ones.

This is mainly for my wife. I could just go dark in a heartbeat.

 

I admire the young for inventing ghosting. Back in my day, all we had was, "It's not you, it's me".

If you are 70yo and can't communicate with a farang when will you learn? How hard is it?

 

Dont answer calls or emails or say busy for a while.

If you don't run into the person often, it's not hard.

 

If it's a person you run into often, it can be tricky. Because people don't like to be rejected, so sometimes they retaliate with subtle agression.

I serious doubt that based on your posts. More like a lonely fat pensioner with no where to go and no live friends

Don't take the phone-call

Thats the obvious solution. I know a guy who never answers. Calls them back later tells them he was busy which he wasnt. When you make the call you are in control though.

Just to update:

 

I perform a role of Jedi Knight-mentor, offering banal bromides like,"look before you leap", and virtually worthless general encouragement. 

 

He wants to train "troubled" Myanmar youth to make macrame plant hangers. I hadn't thought about macrame plant hanger since my bell bottom days. Lovely with a Spider plant. It goes without saying that he has never applied bead to twine and made one himself.

 

As always, he wants someone else to help the troubled youth make plant hangers while he's just basks in the plant hanger vision. "Why are the youth necessarily troubled?", I asked. "If they're poor", he said, "They're troubled".

 

He needs seed money for this scheme, more for Google placement than for twine; he also needs a lot of Thai people with nothing to do to help the troubled youth.

 

And of course, he needs at least a half dozen troubled youth, specifically of the Myanmar variety. He'd take a hill tribe person, but he told me that they were already being helped to death and nobody can get near them.

 

I told him: "I student-taught in Harlem. I thought MF was my middle name. Seriously, re-think this troubled youth thing, partic from a beading craft perspective. You don't know 'em, like I know 'em."

 

Anyway, his latest business plan has arrived in my inbox. He's going to send it to "The UN".
