So what do you do when someone has a vendetta against you for something that happened ages ago?

Asked by emeraldisles (1949points) June 13th, 2011

So this person , I’m not going to say who it is has it in for me. I’m serious. They are a complete jerk to me and there’s no way I can fake that I like them. Well something happened today that was the tip of the iceberg and I’m at my wits end. So what do I do because i CAN’T TAKE THIS? This is borderline harassment . Oh by the way I did report all the incidents and it didn’t change anything. p.s. I’m not someone who’s looking for attention.

Ask them to leave you alone or you will get a restraining order against them.

You fire them….kick them to the curb…change your phone numbers and locks. Block their Skype and Facebook accounts. Sounds psychotic and best to completely ignore them if at all possible!

I’m with @Cruiser honey. Completely, and I do mean completely, cut them out of your life. There is no sane way of dealing with or coping with this kind of behaviour and if you keep allowing yourself to be subjected to it… well it’ll make you ill honey. Let them just go away and drown in their own bile. Their problem not yours angel. Surround yourself with people and things that make you happy, make you smile, because life is too short to allow anyone to upset you like this. Sending hugs honey xx

There is no resolving this with the person. This person is just psycho. You don’t need psychos in your life; it takes years off of your living time. Seriously, just cut them out of your life. If you have to work with them, get a restraining order which will FORCE them to keep their distance from you under the threat of arrest. Trust me, they’ll leave you alone if they know that they will end up in jail.

Have you tried apologizing for whatever it is that they think you did, and tell them either 1) you meant no harm or 2) you were stupid at the time, and didn’t realize what you did, or 3) are clueless as to what you did, and are very sorry you hurt their feelings.

It would be silly to advise you when we do not know what it is all about.
Could you be reading the situation all wrong. If you did something to them, I hardly think they would be keeping in touch with you?

@Hidden_Mystery That is what bullies do. They latch on to someone that is smaller, quieter, or has no friends or no one to stick up for them and and bully the heck out of the person, even for years.

Talk it out. If it doesnt work tell that person to go their way or just be like dude calm down okay that happened ages ago let it go man.

No I’m not reading the situation wrong. Other people have noticed the behavior as well and there’s no reason to hold a grudge but thank you.

BarnacleBill's avatar

There are different ways to apologize for things. One way is, “Dude, I had no idea that you thought that was what happened. I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings/be disrespectful of you. I’m sorry it’s bothered you this much for so long, because you misread the situation, and my intentions were not what you think they were. I’m sorry you’re so upset by this.”

Have you talked directly to the person? Try to clear the air?

Note: tip of the iceberg, means the beginning of something, or just a little of a larger thing. You used it when I think you meant more like what happened was the last straw, that you just can’t take it anymore.
