If someone does not want to talk to you, for example, they may show no interest in what you are saying, answer with one word, and try to make excuses to leave. There is nothing that frustrates me more is someone who cannot take the very obvious hints I try to drop for them.
There is a girl in my class I do not like very much. She is very annoying, she thinks she is my best friend (even though I hardly know her). Most importantly, she never takes my hints.
Today in class we were presenting some projects. She forced me to let her hold my poster (which is not only really stupid, but a few people had already offered). She was very harsh about it, and she also forced me to hold hers. I tried to make it very clear I did not want to do anything for her and I wanted her to do nothing for me, but alas, she is forceful, and thats what best friends do, right?
She managed to get up in between each presentation (there were probably 5 or 6) and walk all the way across the room (she sat in back corner and I in opposite front) to show me her pen. Yes, she showed me that same pen 5 times. The first time I very half-heartedly said is was nice. I thought maybe she would leave me alone. Oh no. She came up to me 4 other times to show me the same pen I had already seen and commented on. By the last time, after she got none of my hints, I just flat out told her to go sit back down because she has already showed me the pen and I had already commented on it.
Later during class, while the teacher was in the middle of a lecture, she got up AGAIN to come show me her pen. (And I should say here that there is absolutely nothing mentally wrong with this girl. She is actually pretty smart.) This time the teacher also became fed up with her and yelled at her. She made "my best friend" go and sit in the hallway. On the inside I was rejoicing. I could not help myself from thinking "That'll shut her up for a while." That moment made my day.
The reason I have taken the time to say all of this is to give you an extreme situation where someone does not take hints. Take the hints that are given to you, and don't end up being that really annoying obnoxious girl in the back of class who no one really likes. Trust me, if you take hints, people will better appreciate the time they have with you, as well as the time without.
I could go on and on with many stories about this girl, but I'll come back to that later.
Remember, if you take the hints now, there will be fewer in the future.
