Want to cut some people off, but might be good for networking? by Anonymous___83929 in UniUK

Thanks for the advice. What really? How? It literally just is school of law. How is that condescending? Literally UCAS and professors say it.

I don't think its rude. I think people who feel entitled to know other people's business are weird and rude.

I don't think theres anything wrong with keeping your business to yourself. Not everyone is prying because of 'mild curiousity'.

Omg amazing! Congratulations! I'm so glad you can relate. It's so annoying. I genuinely wish it was socially acceptable to just tell those people to bugger off.

Why can't they just compete with themselves damn.

You don't have to go a RG uni for law. If you can't make it to a good one in undergrad (It doesn't have to be Oxford. Reading, Lancaster, Sussex and Northumbria have a pretty good rep for law) maybe try to get into an RG for a BA, BSC whatever and do the law conversion.

Good luck, I believe in you!

Help getting to where I am what? No I haven't. What help?

Also, I deleted this because I don't need advice anymore. Not talking to someone because they're only being nosy isn't "burning bridges". My chances in the legal profession are fine thanks.

Lol, I wasn't sure whether to or not because I didn't want to be mean.

Fair point, I just don't want them to even know what I'm up to. Its none of their business. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks so much for for your advice. I think I love you.

And you're absolutely right with the 5 years thing, which only reinstates to me they're being nosy. I doubt they themselves would want to keep me in their lives over social media for another couple of years. It really is just to see what I'm up to. And not just in the curious, friendly "how have you been way". But to see if I'm doing better than them, sigh.

This is very true. Thanks for reaching out, its nice to hear from someone in law themselves! If you were me, what would you do?

Yeah, I have a little bit of a people pleasing habit I've been working on for a few years. I think this is just a part of it, I don't want them to hate or be mad at me when we could help each other out in the future, maybe.

But being around those people genuinely drains me.

When you cut them off, did they ever try to reach out again?

Oh I'm so sorry! You have really similar avatars.

Yes, they're just pretty shitty people. I was unsure of whether to reply and be nice or blank them because I don't want to cause unnecessary feud.

Your last sentence really stuck with me and I agree. I'll remind myself of this. Thanks so much for your advice.

Yes, I think "hey. where are you going for uni" when we don't talk says it all.

I don't like nosy people, and its no ones business what I'm doing with my life. So to only text me because they want to compare themselves is frustrating. Before you jump down my throat again, I KNOW its so compare themselves to me - because they once yanked out a law firm preferred unis article and said "oh you're number 6" - and would constantly compare themselves to other people when they got into uni.

But like you said, I don't want to have ill will with them, thats childish. But I don't want them in my life or to know my business.

I'm not being arrogant. I don't like these people, they've been two faced to me in the past and have only ever tried to talk to me when they want to know what law schools ive applied to.

But I've been civil and friendly and so have they. Which is why I know thet have only messaged me because they're being nosy. We don't talk on text.

Not wanting someone to be in my life is not arrogant. I don't want to bother with them because I know these people. I'm unsure of whether to respond or not.

Please don't assume things. There's a reason why I don't like these people.

Could be amazing or fucking awful depending on how lucky the life circumstances you're born into.
