Why would my ex completely ignore me in person when I say hi in passing?

[Anonymous]

We both go to the same church and we sometimes run into each other. Three times I have tried to say hello and she just flat out ignored me. One when I passed her in the halls. She did not even move her head to look. Once I was playing pool and she came to put her stuff down. I said hi and she ignored me sat down for a few minutes not 6 feet from me. She turned around looked around at the social groups for 2 minutes and walked off. The last time she was talking with my friends. I came over not having seen her. I said hi to every one she ignored me and a few seconds latter broke off the social group with one of my friends yo make thier own social group.

I get blocking me on social media but why actively ignore me in person?

hi there, i can only go from your words for a start, if we said she definitely heard you and maintained this barrier she is doing this for her own sake for her own reason which none of us will ever truly understand. When an ex takes a no contact stance it is usually driven by their own coping mechanism despite how it is effecting you or making you feel, it most likely has nothing to do with you as a person, she needs to be like for herself. How you ended, how long you were together, all the nitty gritty details are a make up of how she is coping now. She is clearly showing you no way im not connecting with you however to be around you still despite this shows a level of her current ability to deal with how she feels. Personal experience I've been able to continue communication with two of my longest relationships when they ended the shortest most awful it was strictly no contact to be able to heal and recover because love doesn't just vanish. Anyways my personal opinion she could read this and say wtf you're full of shit i hate the mother f.. ker what do you think? xx

I think it shows a lot about her as a person. It probably is for her own sake but that is not a healthy way to deal with it. I can see doing that online but not in person when she goes out of her way to still come to the church but ignores me and the new friends she made. Just standing around waiting for others to come say hi to her.
Why she stood around me is weird seemed like o I can ignore this bastard so well. I'll show him something. Or she was testing herself to see if she could try being around me. She has not shown up since.

A friend said she was trying to show that it did not hurt and her feelings were gone. But segregating yourself so obviously looks more like a cry for help. But the girls say that they try reaching out to talk to her.

Poeple here notice things we are very observant.

Maybe she doesn't want to deal with you anymore. You are an ex.

So why not a nice hi when I say hello? She is just being rude.

[BatmansWife]

Not necessarily. Not everyone want to talk to their ex. Just leave it be.

She is not mature enough to deal with it. She is ignoring what she can't handle. Your voice also probably makes her heart hurt. Her mind wonder for some time after.

Bitch, she's probably saying stuff in your back. Ignore her, get in a new relationship and make her jealous
