I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. Here are some simple ways to say it — pick the one that fits how direct or gentle you want to be.

Short and direct
- “It hurts me to talk to you. Please don’t contact me right now.”
- “Talking to you makes me want to cry. I need space.”

Gentle
- “I care about you, but talking right now is really painful for me and makes me cry. I need some time apart.”
- “I’m not okay with talking at the moment — it’s too painful. Please give me space.”

Firm with a boundary
- “I need you to stop contacting me. Conversations with you are hurting me and making me cry.”
- “I’m asking for no contact right now. Hearing from you is very painful.”

Short and private (if you don’t want to explain)
- “Please don’t contact me. I can’t handle talking right now.”

A slightly longer version (if you want to be clearer)
- “I want to be honest: talking to you is really painful for me and makes me want to cry. I need some time and space to heal. Please respect that and don’t reach out for now.”

Tips
- Use “I” statements (focus on your feelings).
- Keep it short and clear; you don’t owe a long explanation.
- Send it once and don’t engage in a debate.
- If they don’t respect your request, consider blocking or asking a friend/family member for help enforcing the boundary.
- If you want, tell me a bit about your situation and I can tailor a line for you.

Would you like a version that sounds more gentle or more firm?
