Another thing that is coming to my attention are certain friends.

There are some people in my life that are nice and friendly. I have done many things with those people, but hanging out with them has become more like a chore or a thing that has to be done rather than wanting to hang out with them. That has been evolving over the past year or so.

Now I see that we are simply not on the same wavelength anymore. We evolved differently. Not to hurt them I faded away gradually from their lifes ... or at least tried to. They still call and write and want to hang out. To be honest, I don't really know how to react to that. I don't want to do things with them but at the same time I don't want to hurt their feelings. I find it difficult to pull the trigger and tell them head on that our friendship is a thing of the past. That we are not the same persons we used to be.

At the same time it infuriates me that they don't get my subtle or not-so-subtle hints to leave me be.

Creative and wise ideas on how to handle that kind of thing tactfully are welcome.
