Guys, My guy friend got mad at me when I said that I will ignore him if we ever meet in person. Why?

[Alex8736]

Why even bother meeting if you are going to waste his time by ignoring him?

[Smart_Girl167]

Wasn't my idea and he just asked me what would I do.

[Alex8736]

Okay now I understand. In the back of his mind he might have gotten the impression that maybe things might progress but I hear ya It is always best being honest up front like you were and he gets mad over that then you gotta ask yourself "is he really a friend". 😁

[Smart_Girl167]

Okay. Make sense. Thanks.

[Guy13]

Well 🙄-no one likes to be ignored.

[Smart_Girl167]

Well I do it all the time to a lot of people and I never met the person in real life, so when he wanted to meet I kinda said what I usually do🤷🏼‍♀️

[Guy13]

how did it End...

[Smart_Girl167]

Well, Not too good😂 Well I got him to talk to me again but recently I deleted one of my social media where I had him without telling him and stopped texting with him. So... yah...

Imagine not being able to imagine how you would feel if someone said your words back to you. That's called a lack of empathy. You know what kind of person lacks empathy? The kind that doesn't even know what the word 'friend' means.

Do you even have any real friends?

[Smart_Girl167]

Of course I do and aguess I never really thought about it like that and never really considered "real" friend cuz to me we were more social media friends.

[Opinion Owner]

I don't consider social media friends to even be acquaintances. But I'd still never tell someone that I'd ignore them in real life. That's like telling them "you're only here because I crave likes. I don't even care to know you. Just hit the like button and shut up."

But I see a this kind of stuff a lot more in the past few years. We're losing our interpersonal skills, empathy, and self-awareness because it's just a name on a screen. We don't even consider our SM friends to be people anymore, really. It's sad. Feels like we're losing our humanity.

[Smart_Girl167]

That explains it👍

[Lionman95]

Because know one likes to be ignored the way you said it sounds like you use him to be entertained not because you have any real interest in a friendship.

[Smart_Girl167]

No, no, we were good friends. We spoke every single day. Right now we are not because after a while I removed one of my social media accounts where I had him without telling him and stopped texting with him also🤷🏼‍♀️

[Chazmatazz269]

Well, you’ve just referred to him as a “friend” and admitted you won’t treat him as such in the same sentence. Is that concept really that hard to accept?

[Smart_Girl167]

So what are saying, that friends shouldn't do that to friends?

[20yearsolder]

Why would you ignore him? You're supposed to be friends, friends don't do that the other friends. Yes I would be upset as well

[Static_In_The_Attic]

You’re a Smart_Girl I think you should be able to figure that one out.

[Sam_25]

No reason to get mad... there are plenty of other girls are available if you're not than someone else.

He such a simp...

[Smart_Girl167]

So you think he should have not gotten mad? I mean we spoke every single day.

[Sam_25]

Absolutely not...
If you're not than someone else. But he is simp so I don't know

[Smart_Girl167]

Okay. Thanks👍

[driven159]

would you be happy if he said it to you and you're not friends if you act like that so don't use the word friend

[Smart_Girl167]

Probably not and well we are not friends anymore

[Anonymous]

hahaha lol

women waste of time

[Smart_Girl167]

Okay?😂

[Kaneki05]

I think you need to remove smart from your name.

[Avicenna]

Only he could possibly know why. Ask him

[noohair]

Really, you insult him and wonder why he is mad?

[Smart_Girl167]

Are friends suppose to be chilled tho?

[noohair]

Tho is not a word

[Smart_Girl167]

I meant though🤦🏼‍♀️

[noohair]

"Smart" girl?

[Smart_Girl167]

Okay, whatever.

[ronaldo75]

Go look for attention somewhere else.

[Smart_Girl167]

Meaning

[Reijen]

You just said it.

[Smart_Girl167]

What do you mean?😂

[Reijen]

You said you'd ignore him. Of course anyone would be angry about that.

[Smart_Girl167]

Okay. Make sense. I just thought he shouldn't get mad because we agreed to be only friends so don't friends have to be chilled?

[Reijen]

Since you just agreed that it makes sense that a friend would be mad at another for ignoring them, let that be your explanation.
