How do you deal with constant messages?

How do you deal with people who message you constantly?

My boyfriend’s mum messages me on Facebook numerous times a day. She will say ‘you ok?’ At least twice a day, sometimes up to five times!! She sends me random photos constantly (last week in just one day she sent me a photo of her sideboard, a photo of her toe and a photo of a wooden clock). She takes screenshots of things from Facebook and sends them to me with no explanation. Her messages are chit chat and offer no substance. I hate chit chat. My family know not to message me unless they want to talk about something important but she just sends me utter rubbish. She has done this for years. It sends my anxiety levels through the roof. My boyfriend has told her numerous times to stop but she doesn’t. I’ve ignored her, muted her etc but nothing makes her stop. I’ve even told her I don’t like it and to stop and she still doesn’t. 

It makes me want to delete my Facebook just to get away from it. She keeps asking for my phone number which I’ve obviously not given her! What do I do?!

  • To unfriend someone's profile on Facebook:

    • Go to that profile by typing their profile name into the search bar at the top of Facebook.
    • Click  at the top of their profile.
    • Click Unfriend, then Confirm.

    If you feel harassed by all the trivia, and she knows it and still keeps sending it, I think unfriending is quite justified. If she is hurt and complains, say you will 're-friend' her under certain conditions. Tell her that this is the 'last chance saloon' and if she breaks your conditions unfriend her permanently.
