Recently I've been getting calls and texts from concerned ones, inviting me over and asking how I'm doing, etc. And it's not even people I was close to, they just talk at me (not to me, it's not a conversation, its a monologue) about what they're enjoying and wether I'd like to come over...
Anyway, I don't want to talk to them about why I left, and, without being extremely rude, I really want them to leave me alone. Any tips/pointers will be very welcome.
Thanks.

I know you don't want to talk about it, but just rip the sticky plaster off and get it over with. Its not fun but it'll do the trick.
When I left last year I posted a big rant on Facebook saying why the local church has been such an unhealthy part of my life and why I no longer want anything to do with it. While at the time it stirred up a lot of conversations, like throwing a rock at a hornet's nest, it did a good job at getting the word out there that I was officially **out**. It mopped up most of the 'concerned ones' in one go and I only have a few stragglers every now and again. If you haven't already done that I definitely recommend it.
If anyone wants to read the FB post PM me and I'll send you the link.
