Polite way of telling a hypochondriac to stop sending me messages?

As you don't even know this person, a minimum amount of tact is needed. \n\nTry telling them that you have a busy life and don't always find time for those important to you, so perhaps they'd be better off telling a Dr, and not you." If that doesn't work, delete them from your friends list, and block them from your email.\n\nYou have no relationship with this person, there's no need to go out of your way to be friendly, just be polite and direct.

Just CALMLY confront her straight out, asking one question at a time.  Do not let up on the questions until she breaks down and starts talking.  Do not raise your voice or act angry:\n\nI don't understand why you are treating me this way when I have done so much for you, and you have been so nice to me over the email.  Is there something I should know about?  Did I do something wrong?  Did something change?  Are you unhappy visiting me? Should I stop sending you money?  What is going on?

I have a friend like that and it is truly draining.  What I do when we talk on the phone is "unhunh" automatically while doing something else with an occassional "really!".  When I need to talk , I tell her to "shut up it's about me today, we'll get to you later".   This has been going on for years and it seems to work for me.

Use your Spam Blocking filters to block messages with certain words. Then advise them that you have set things up to block religiously oriented forwarded email because you feel you are being inundated with it. Ask them to please not include you on those forwarded mass emailing and remove you from their email group lists. Invite them to still contact you on a personal basis when they simply want to share life's experiences.

Give her a week if you still can't get in touch with her best hang that one up and start over...If you call her or send her too many messages that's a turn off for her...She will think you a little too controlling give her some time and space..

Send an email or leave a voice message telling him you won't be paying for his apartment or food any more.  I bet you will hear from him then.

Stick your fingers in your ears and don't talk to them.\n\nThey will get the message sooner or later.

I tell them I was not expecting you! I am really not up to company right now. ____day would be much better. Could you come in the morning or afternoon?(smiling):)\n\nSomething along those lines. I don't like to fabricate stories and I am not afraid to hurt feelings as it is extremely rude to stop by any ones home unannounced.\n\nGuarantee it won't happen again.

The only thing you can do is cut them off. Don't answer the phone, don't answer their emails, don't play their mind games anymore. If they insist on bringing you into their drama, tell them to take a hike for your own good. Just do it or they will continue to drive you nuts.

ignore them or just simply tell them to leave you alone. if that doesnt work then maybe just giving the cold shoulder will give them the hint.

I would send one last email, stating you hope he is ok, and that you don't want to bug him, but you are just curious. At that point, I would delete his email, and remove him from your IM. If he hasn't talked to you since Christmas, he doesn't sound like a good friend.

that is called a mailing list.\n\nbecause that behavior is objectionable to most people, the lists are opt-in & opt-out, otherwise it's just SPAM!\n\na mailing list is the only civilized way to do this. Don't jam peoples inboxes!
