Search Results: bad friend friendship

Hello, I have a close friend of 8-9 years and she doesn't listen to me no matter how much I warn her. I am not a social person who likes to talk on the phone and text every day. Even the closest person I call (my family) doesn't take more than 1 hour to talk to. No matter how well I warn my friend or express my discomfort, she calls and texts me every day, no matter what I do. I think she is trying to see if I am just looking at my phone, even on Instagram. She is not a bad person, but this friendship harms me and I become unable to do my daily work. I stayed up late last night because of their selfish behavior, I was late to work because i couldnt wake up in morning. What are your thoughts on what you would do if you were in this situation?
Note: Every time I warn her, a fight breaks out, she says i am manipulating her, or she gets angry. Or she would make an excuse like "I haven't been doing this for years, I have a problem now", but even when she said she wasn't doing it, it was just a little bit less than that, it was still the same, and I was uncomfortable.

2 years ago I gave an acquaintance my phone number, which is something I already hate doing. For most calls he would either end the phone call after a few minutes to "see why 'she' is calling" or talk with people off the phone.

Important Side Note: He told me about a planned group outing with our mutuals and "someone else." I found out through social media that "someone else" was a girl I've seen around but never really spoke to. I suspect that "she" is the person he would cut our phone calls short to talk to. I thought it was really weird of him to hide that she was on the trip, especially since I recognized her; I literally don't care who he dates because I was only platonically interested in him at best. This incident, however, made me feel like being his friend was not a good idea.

One day, I told him that he should delete my number if he calls me again and exhibits poor phone etiquette. Like clockwork, the next time he called, he cut the call short because he couldn't understand why "she" was calling him. I told him to never call me again and promptly stopped answering calls and texts.

As time went on, he and "she" developed a relationship that he posted about. "She" recently had his baby. I was hanging out with some mutuals and he came around. I acknowledged him but cut my time short because I didn't want to spoil the mood. Since then he has been watching my social media stories, DMing me, and calling me. I have not responded.

A part of me feels bad for my lack of communication with him, but I also don't understand WHY he's trying to talk to me. A part of me wants to ask him why he's trying so hard to engage me when he should be tending to his girlfriend and his baby, and a part of me wonders if he's just trying to work on being friends. I personally do not trust this man and would rather he would accept that I told him to leave me alone 2 years ago than pursue a friendship.

WDYT?
