They don’t text you back but look at your story. How do you deal with people like this?

[Danny_dan92]

I leave them on read when they do decide to message me.

I do not have Facebook etc but even I am familiar with this from friends. This is called Orbiting and it usually provides and adrenaline rush to one or sometimes both Parties. It is used to describe those who almost stalk an other's stories on Face, Insta, and Snap. It has been noticed during the Crush stage, after first couple dates, and the never ending Ex syndrome.

So, the orbiting individual gets your attention and often people start designing their stories to attract this individual whether for good or bad... just to see if that individual will view... bee to honey sort of thing. BUT, he/she will not text and we arrive at your place.

Is this person ignoring me, why... he/she continues to pop up on my feed but why not reach out... they obviously like me.

NOT: they are living through you but not connected to you.-it's no different than a narcotic where buzz is good but short lived. 2. He/She also can be checking up on you looking for inconsistencies in stories and behaviors. Will not bowl or do shots or boat with me BUT there's a story with you doing. "I knew I was right about her/him." 3. Budding Narcissist is simply screwing around with your head knowing you are hooked on him/her. Can see your stories tailoring towards him/her.

Demand respect and restrict... Send one DM and see if a response is received.

Social Media activity does not mean relationship. It is the very least of effort even though text and phoning do not require much energy expense. IF you get a buzz of happiness when noticed that he/she viewed then you are addicted to a false paradigm... fiction... false reality.

Just continued with the day. Bottom line, wen are like cats. They get bored and if they like you will come back when they want to see you. You are still on their radar when they look at your stuff because they are trying to see what you are up to.

Facts

[t_time]

If I see that. I usually send them another text just to say hey did you get my last text? Sometimes I see a text get busy at work. Totally by mistake forget to reply or I start typing somthing didn't finish it or i didn't press send. If they still don't reply and that keeps happening il just give up and don't text them anymore

[Danny_dan92]

I can’t do that tho. Lol especially given if they’re looking at my story. Clearly they’re on their phone. So if they really care about responding they’d check our texts

[dustybiker]

People have lives. I don’t hold late replies against anyone.

[Danny_dan92]

Yes true. But given the context that philosophy cannot be applied

[dustybiker]

It does if they read your story and then life distracted them. Interruptions happen whenever.

[Danny_dan92]

You mean look at my story on a social media app? If they are on a social media app and looking at my story clearly they have time to shoot a text response

[NathanDavis]

I don't do social media...

if they make the "effort" to meet me in person then they're unmistakably and genuinely interested

I don't leave it to online 'games" to play around, lol

[mamuma02]

My ex used to do that a lot when we were in a relationship. Its one of the reasons i broke up with him.

[sheikalana]

I'm currently going through the same and honestly I think the best way to deal with it is mimicking their behavior as you did.

[MountAverage]

Delete them from your Instagram (or whatever social media).

[melanieeeB]

Idgaf about them lol

[Danny_dan92]

Right? Lol once that happens. The door closes behind them and gets locked

[melanieeeB]

Yeaah excatly lmao if he can care to be on fucking social media, he could also reply.. case closed
