Have you ever just had it with your cousins? Have they ever been mean to you, teased you, made fun of you,or annoyed you? Doesn't it seem endless? Doesn't it look like it'll go on for the rest of your life? Don't you just want them to stop it and leave you alone? Well,here is the article for you!
Steps
-
1Start talking to your cousin less and less. Like for example, start making conversations shorter and shorter each time you talk to them. If they try talking to you for a long time, say, "Oh, I need to go to the restroom. Bye!" or something like that then leave. Or you can let them see you with other family or cousins and whenever they talk to you, make the conversation really short.
-
2Start to ignore them whenever they tease you. Like if they say they hate you or you are ugly, just simply ignore them. They are obviously just doing it for attention.Advertisement

3When they try to text you, call you, or talk to you do not reply. Or, if they text you, you can trick them by replying saying "Who is this?" and they will be all like "What? They forgot about me?" Or, they will just think you changed your number. (If they do, they will more than likely ask you. If they do ask you, make the conversation short.) If they call, do not call back. If they are talking to you or are trying to talk to you, pretend you didn't hear them. If you want them to be annoyed, just keep saying "What? What? What?" each time they repeat what they are saying.
-
4Act like they don't exist. Like for example, when they stare at you, don't notice. Or if they call your name, do not notice. Pretend you didn't hear them if they try talking to you. Just as if they weren't there.
-
5Always let them see you hanging out with other people, talking to other people and having a good time with other people. This will show you are better off without them.

Warnings
- Other cousins or family may notice you are acting somewhat different to this person you are trying to make feel guilty, and will wonder, so when you are doing this, try not to make it too obvious. For example, you can do this: Let people see you talk to this cousin less and less and less, so when they don't see you talking at all, it won't be so much of an issue, problem, awkward, weird or obvious.(Especially since this is a family member. Also, if this has to do with a girl trying to make a guy cousin feel guilty, or a guy cousin trying to make a girl cousin feel guilty, then it has a bigger chance of working then guy-on-guy or girl-on-girl).⧼thumbs_response⧽
- Your cousin may get somewhat mad at you, or tell on you about doing this such as if you ignore them too much/a lot, or if you don't talk to them anymore, so, just do this steps shown in a mysterious way so your cousin can wonder what is going on. Then, once they figure it out, they will feel guilty.⧼thumbs_response⧽
- Do not go too overboard while doing this because your cousin may hate you or not like you anymore if you are mean to them or if you don't follow the steps right.⧼thumbs_response⧽
- Your cousin may do the same things you're doing to them right back to you and not feel guilty. So, if they do it back, just completely ignore them and pretend you didn't notice, or you can just roll your eyes back at them.⧼thumbs_response⧽
- Be very cautious and careful about what you are doing.This could cause family problems because the cousin could get too/really violent about this, or you could be doing these steps wrong or too violent as well. The key to doing this is mystery. Do these steps in a mysterious way so they can wonder, then figure it out, then be guilty...not get angry!⧼thumbs_response⧽
- Be sure that this cousin/family member does not notice you are trying to make them guilty, because if they know or think you are ignoring them on purpose, or making conversations shorter on purpose, they could really be mad, angry, or disappointed in you. So, make this look like a mystery so they can wonder...Later on, they will catch the hint and be guilty. Just don't do this wrong!⧼thumbs_response⧽
- Never go physical and mean to him/her. This will create unnecessary problems.⧼thumbs_response⧽
