Do you ignore people when you're mad / upset with them?

Question

MCheetah · Accepted Answer

Yes, because I'd otherwise curse them out, verbally berate them, and reduce them to tears and/or violence, if I didn't. My abusive mother taught me how to be viciously and psychologically cruel to the point of destroying someone's soul and using their worst fears and insecurities against them to verbally break down and destroy them. So it's better that I just walk away rather than make a grown adult cry with just my words.

I back away, calm down, and don’t say anything….

No, I hate this kind of behaviour. I had a staff member who would give the silent treatment… I was trying to train her how to manage people. It was a disaster. She has been the most frustrating person I’ve ever trained. I sought advice from a psychologist about the behaviour and was told it is to do with the spend at which they process their emotions.

No. I don’t ignore people. I go quiet when mad. Big difference.

Sure, who doesn't? People need time and space.

I will only answer answers I have to. But when I am mad at him lately, I just go off by myself and lay on the bed and watch tv. It takes a few days until we are civilized again. I get hurt more than mad, so I automatically shut down.

But when it comes to strangers, I don't hold back. I don't ignore them. I tell them to back off!!!

LovingJo · Answer

Not usually, no. I hate ignorance as a whole. You would have to push me past my limit, to go and cool down.

LaBokaChula · Answer

Yes because I don't want them to upset me to the point where I would say something hurtful by being too honest.

XXblack88 · Answer

Yes I will if nothing else works. That isn't the first thing that comes to my mind when I'm mad or upset though.

DrBanana · Answer

Yes but not in a passive aggressive manner.  More the I don’t want to deal with your BS at this moment kinda way.

as an INFJ, I have a shut down mode when someone's testing my patience. I'll straight-up ignore them

Anonymous · Answer

Depends whether they're f***ing with me or not. You don't poke a bear with a stick. If they're too stupid to get that then whatever happens happens.
