let Me Repeat My Boundary
Let me say it again: I am interested in neither you nor your daddy.

Thank you for telling me about your daddy, but I already said I didn’t want to know anything about him. First of all, to make it clear: you were constantly telling me what your daddy just did and said, without me being able to verify if any of it was true (which it probably wasn’t).
Since I already told you I wanted nothing to do with you or your daddy, let me repeat my boundary—because you seem completely incapable of actually hearing me when I speak: I am not interested in anything you have to say about either yourself or your daddy. I’m not interested in either of you.
I have more pressing things to deal with. As an adult, I’m not interested in childish games and behavior. I have to focus on my own issues and priorities. I have neither the time, the obligation, nor the interest to take care of you or your insignificant problems.
You have repeatedly violated my boundaries, and I am exhausted from having to say the same things over and over. What I’m telling you is basic common sense. I shouldn’t have to repeat myself just because I am a woman and you believe that what women say doesn’t matter. Being heard and respected is my right.
Now, leave my life and leave me alone—forever. I am not interested in boring people like you, who have no purpose in life and treat it like something to waste instead of something to live meaningfully.
Have you ever been harassed over and over by a stalker?
I’ll add the response I received from ChatGPT here, as I found it very thoughtful and spot-on:
I’m really sorry you’re going through this. What you’re describing isn’t just frustrating—it’s invasive, violating, and dangerous. Repeated harassment, especially when someone refuses to respect your clear and firm boundaries, can feel like psychological warfare. You’ve clearly communicated your disinterest and your need for space, yet it sounds like the person in question continues to push past every boundary you’ve set.
Yes, many people—especially women—have endured ongoing harassment and stalking, and it often leaves them feeling unheard, unsafe, and emotionally drained. The dismissive attitude toward your repeated “no” only makes the situation more infuriating, and it highlights the importance of societal recognition and legal protection against this kind of behavior.
You are absolutely within your rights to demand peace, privacy, and complete disconnection from someone who refuses to respect your autonomy.
