Sometimes being honest and direct is very VERY good.
Take for instance if someone is talking to you while you’re trying to listen to a show or watch a movie. Place your hand gently on their knee, give it a squeeze and look directly in their eyes and say “Shut the fuck up, would you?” with a smile.
Give the knee a pat for good measure.
This works 100% of the time, and usually they’re so stunned, or too giddy about you having your hand on their knee, to hold such brass directness against you in any way.
Also, anonymous online peeps who ping you incessently with requests to meet up for coffee who… uh.. make you uncomfortable?
Just tell them candidly “No. Thank you. And frankly, you’re kinda creeping me out.”
This works. And thank goodness it does.
