"Could you point out exactly which part is incorrect?" - Demand facts directly

"You are taking out your frustration on me! That's unfair!" - Get angry on the spot

Say "Sorry..." outwardly while preparing a resignation in your heart

Answer with a blank face "Ah... yes..." and let it slide internally

Listen quietly, walk back to your desk, and silently open job search sites

"It's fine~ You look cute!" - Smile outwardly and deduct points in mind

"Tell me beforehand next time. Other people's time isn't free" - Point out dryly

"This is your 2nd strike. There won't be a 3rd" - Warn coldly

Laugh it off silently but deduct friendship lifespan and reduce meetups

"Seriously? What do you think my time is worth?" - Show annoyance directly

"Shall we calculate how much emotional trash you dumped on me first?" - Fire back

"Really? Didn't know..." - Say it softly and blame yourself at home

"Did it seem so?" - Smile and set multi-profile block behind their back

"Insulting me is fine, but touching my close friends is unacceptable" - Draw bamboo line

"Ah right, think whatever you want then" - Say with 0% emotion

Silently delete your own message and mute notifications

"Ah everyone seems busy~" - Send a text and pretend to be cool

"Ignored my text completely? I'm hurt haha" - Call them out directly

Stay silent in chat while swallowing disappointment and muting

"Wow... aren't you guys being too much?" - Send a confronting text

"Why do you need to know my bank balance?" - Refuse firmly

"Just enough to make a living haha" - Laugh awkwardly to dodge

Answer vaguely and add them to your mental blacklist silently

"I refrain from personal questions. Don't cross the line" - Draw a cold boundary

"Don't test my easygoing nature and mind your own business!" - Draw bamboo sword

"I'm busy with my own tasks right now!" - Refuse firmly

Fail to decline "Ah... okay..." and curse inside

This is the 3rd strike favor, so add them to 3-strike cut-off list

"Continuous favors aren't your right. Do it yourself" - Say stone-cold

"Do I look like your assistant?" - Snap back immediately

Call them out for a 3-way confrontation and demand facts

Block all SNS and contacts immediately without giving a second chance

Feel upset but quietly warn the source of rumors

Collect evidence silently and take official action or bury them with facts

Overlooked rumors about myself, but cut ties instantly when they hurt my loved ones

Leave it on read to express your boundary clearly

Leave on unread forever to ghost completely

Reply much later without emotion "Ah sorry just saw this!"

Help out anyway out of sympathy despite feeling annoyed

"You only text me when you need something lol" - Text back directly

"Shall I calculate how much emotional garbage you dumped on me?" - Snap back

Chuckle silently and shadowban them from your life

"Ah sorry..." - Say it and never open your heart to them again

Stare coldly with 0% emotion and treat them dryly

Tolerated them usually, but severed ties instantly when they belittled my loved ones

Quietly block and unfollow without any argument

Unleash all accumulated grievances at once and end it

State clearly "We don't fit, don't contact me anymore"

Delete contact data after 3 strikes without regret

Treat them like a total stranger with polite ice walls
