    I feel like we all have someone in our life who you just feel like you can't say anything to without them barking back at you for your harmless banter. Want to start a conversation with them? Goodness, they'll make sure that doesn't last very long having you think "I don't even know why I talk to you." within seconds. God forbid if you have a simple question you need to ask.

    Who is that person to you? If you don't have someone like that, count your blessings.
     
    I can't imagine being forced into a conversation with someone like that unless they were a co-worker or family member.

    If you're a friend of mine, I'll pretty much let you get away with murder. And in return I don't want my friends to be oversensitive.
     
    Hm, I've never had someone who would be hard to talk to, but I do have a couple individuals who I would rather avoid interacting with or have a strong hatred towards them. Off the top of my head would be my ex-roommate, who was freakishly annoying when it came to being inconsiderate to everyone around her. Seriously wanted to strangle her for all the times she made a mess and never cleaned up, invited people over without telling us, etc. She was a train-wreck.
     
    If I need work or information from them, I force them to talk to me. Don't like the sound of my voice? Too bad. You get to hear it until you comply.
     
    I would back off and shut up. If i feel like I am annoying someone that really upsets me and makes me want to crawl up and never talk again haha.
     
    Can't really say I have anybody like that, because the moment I realize someone's going to react only like that to me talking to them, I won't have anything to do with them unless necessary. :T I'll just save myself the stress and not even bother.
     
    I had a friend like that. He would always tell me I should play some game, and I'm like "Uhhh I don't play games like that." and he'd argue about how I play other games like it. THe point was that I have strict tastes. I have played some dark games before like Persona 4 Golden and whatever, but I would never play something I'm not used to. We got into a fight about it because I told him he didn't understand me and he never will. He agreed, so I blocked him after that. We were getting into fights lately, and I had just had a enough so I blocked him after.
     
    I try to avoid those kinds of people, but I have this one classmate that keeps following me around and begins talking to me, but then would question and try to "correct" every bits of detail that I would say. Like he'd ask me if I miss any of our old professors and what if they were our professors again. I replied to him saying "I don't like to think of professors all that much" he then got mad and said "I JUST SAID WHAT IF?! IT HAPPENED BEFORE IN PHILOSOPHY CLASS AND IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN" I didn't know what to reply and I just left.
     
    I only have one friend like that.

    I don't really drop friendships myself, it usually has to be the other person, so while I'm still friends with the girl I'm referring to, I do have periods of days where I don't talk to her much. Sometimes we talk about interests, or life, and it's fine, but sometimes just blows up for no reason. Granted, she has a reason. She literally has a ton of mental stability issues that she takes meds for. She'll rip people's heads off, and say horrible things to them in fits of rage or high emotion. Then later she's calm, and doesn't even remember saying a lot of it. A chunk of the time when she goes off, or snaps at me for no reason, I'll just ignore her for a day or two afterwards. It's a cycle, and it's really irritating. I don't usually say harsh things to people, but I have put her in her place more than once.
     
    Deffo not my friend!

    I hate that person, but I try not too. So I just be nice to them, in hopes that he would change.
     
    I try to avoid people like that, but sadly at times it can't be helped. My own Mother gets that way with me. She can "jokingly"?? Insult me until the day is up, but if I try to joke back, she'll tear my head off and throws an absolute fit for days
     
    Not really on point, but I have this friend who always seems to be really apathetic about my problems. Don't get me wrong, she's a great friend; but usually, when I try to tell her about any issue at all going on with my life and it's not some terrible situation where I could become depressed/suicidal, she's just like "... okay." She may also tell me I'm just being stupid about it or that it's no big deal. It really annoys me because I'd like advice on the little problems as well as the big ones, but she doesn't understand that.
