Those persons you have set up ringtones... Works every single time. I set texts to silent, all of it.

Although I think it's nice that your friends think so highly of you that they're trying to give you what they think is a good thing. It's a gift in their eyes.

It's not practical to shut everyone out, even if a lot of people get on your nerves. If someone really needs to get in touch with you, they will.
