I think you need to man up and be more direct then that. Don't just "be busy", that's a bitch move (and I say that as a middle aged woman ffs!) I am telling my family directly. They think I'm joking but I'm not. They get vaccinated they become phone call only friends.
Yeah, I struggle with direct confrontation vs subtletly. I use them both, but struggle with when to use which.
Always be direct. Always.
It'll thin out your herd of friends for sure, but the ones you'll be left with are the only ones worth having.
In some ways the leftist nonsense and the corona nonsense has been a great social filter to know who is and isn't worth associating with.
Love seeing women around this place; I completely agree.
