How do you deal with annoying people blowing your phone and everything else up all hours and have NO life whatsoever?

Flooding you with calls, texts, facetimes, voicemails, social media direct message, even flooding your mailbox. They would send a fax if they were able to anything... When you tell them to stop they sometimes get angry and if you block them some of them get even more angrier

I ignore them until I'm ready to talk and then when they ask what happened I tell them the truth.

I am really busy, I have almost no free time during the day. If you're my friend, I'm not gonna act like you hit some kind of jackpot but I don't have time to have hour long conversations about nothing every day. Even if they're spread - especially if they're spread out through the day.

That is what you have to do sometimes. Some people don't have boundaries and if something is not important then I will wait for a while to respond to it as well. That or if they are always blowing me up.

When it is late at night and early in the morning that is the only time that I get a little... nasty you could say. Otherwise. Yeah you just have to tell them that you are busy and have a life outside of them.

I try not to be nasty unless I have to. But there has been a few times where someone could not take no for a answer and got blocked

Yea, there's this guy I'm going through something similar with right now. I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to cut him off or not. I don't like to be an ass but there are a lot of changes I need to make.

I put mine on a different floor in house when i am trying to sleep. Its the only way...

You have to be firm with people man. You can't let people walk all over you. You have to set boundaries and tell people that you don't want to be called or texted between certain hours when sleeping, working, or otherwise are busy unless something is a emergency.

If they can't have respect for you. Then they aren't good friends and it is time to block them.

My work schedule is same to 11 hour difference and people only think on their own Time. It is the same sort of life you described but for sincere reasons. I think it’s a good practice and that mahogany sideboard is thick wood….

None of this is real
