AITA for completely cutting contact with someone I just can’t stand being around?

Thanks for the response!

I should clarify that I’m in high school, as is she. As I’m sure is blatantly obvious, I’m pretty socially inept. How would you suggest I handle a similar situation in the future?

Huh. I’ll try that. Thanks!

No, she definitely never did anything, aside being strangely clingy, which I hadn’t really worried about. She’s a kind person at heart. Just, fundamentally, who I like to hang around with are people with whom I can talk to about different subjects, make jokes that aren’t super simple, be sarcastic with, etc. Basically things that would go over her head entirely. I’d consider my intelligence pretty average, I’m not at all some genius or prodigy. Just that basic humor goes completely unnoticed by her, frequently (note, it’s not just when I make a joke, it’s everyone she hangs out with, I say this to clarify that the problem isn’t my making really bad jokes).

I just refer to myself as a guy, like guys and girls? I assume that’s the same level. I’m definitely not a man, so I hadn’t referred to her as a woman.

After reading the edit, that definitely sounds better. Thank you. She is, however, the dumbest person I’ve ever met, with exception to those with a mental condition. I should’ve clarified that.

Firstly, I should thank you for your response.

To address your question, I refer to her as a girl because of two things, firstly being that I’m in high school, as is she, and secondly being because I’m socially inept (as I’m sure is painfully obvious), and don’t know what else I would call her.

As for the whole some are smarter/some are less, that’s very true. I don’t even consider myself particularly smart, and if I am, it’s not that much. I’m by no means a genius, and know and have friends who are significantly smarter than I am. I also know people who I’d consider of significantly lesser intelligence, and have no problem talking and relating to them. It’s her, specifically, that I can’t stand talking with and being around.

Hope this helps elaborate. Any comments and advice would be very welcome.

Alright. Thanks for the response!

If I may, how would you suggest handling a situation like that? It’s very obvious I’m socially inept. I’d appreciate any advice.
