I wouldn’t say anything. Yes it does not take “much” to reply back to a text message. But also, people (especially adults) have lives… work, family, personal issues, etc. Is your friend married? Children? Stressful job? Personal issues? And what exactly is the text content from your end? Is it to hang out and get lunch? A favor? An emergency? This is pretty vague to automatically call someone out on this or take sides here in this situation. But my advice is I would not take this personal… people have lives. I would simply reach out to catch up in person over lunch and make sure your friend is okay before assuming or confronting about anything.

I fail to understand your question, because I don't care if someone leaves me on read. I move on with my life and never give a single thought about that. They either planned on answering later on and forgot, or they simply didn't feel like making a conversation.
The issue is the fact that you feel entitled to people's time and attention. I don't feel that way, people have their own lives. If I receive a message it is cool, if I don't it is also cool.
Why would I get obsessed with that and waste my energy?
Maybe they fell asleep or something important came up or maybe they have a life besides you and instead of being selfish you might realize the world do t revolve around you. Things happen and people don’t always immediately respond. Think about others for a change. It ain’t always about you.
Work through a mutual friend - find out what triggered her and try to mend the relationship, or move on.
knocking on the door she shut on your face is how you get her to think you are not worth her time

Navigating the choppy waters of being left on read can feel like trying to flirt with a mermaid, tricky and elusive. The key is to keep your cool and not dive too deep into the sea of overthinking. If this silent treatment is becoming a series, add a pinch of humor and a dash of directness to lighten the mood. Drop them a message that’s breezy yet gently nudges them for a response, something like, "Did my last message decide to play hide and seek? 😉" It's casual, flirty, and opens the door for them to reply without feeling cornered.
If the silent treatments have become a marathon, it's time for a heart-to-heart. Express how you feel without setting the stage for a drama. "Hey, I've noticed you've been MIA after my texts – hope everything's cool. Just wanna make sure we're good 😊."
Remember, communication is a two-way street. If they're repeatedly leaving you on read, it might be time to reassess the dynamic of your friendship. Sometimes, taking a step back is the best step forward. Keep it light, keep it bright, and most importantly, keep being your fabulous self!

Tell her you're insecure and need feedback?
What is with the next generations and ghosting? So cowardly. But on flip the person waiting is insecure.
Ghost me and I would move on and find a more respectful person. Sorry to be blunt but these questions are too common.If I leave a guy on read, it’s because I don’t want to talk to them how they’re trying to talk to me, whether we’re friends or not. For you to basically call her out for not wanting to continue having a conversation and answering your questions is just childish in my opinion. She’s not your girlfriend, she doesn’t have to talk.
It depends. Silent treatment usually happens for a reason. Someone *-ed up. So you probably know the details and therefore what to say to end the silent treatment.
What you do is let it go and move on. You can't force people to respond to you. They don't have to.
Talk with her in person about it. Sometimes, things are lost in translation via text. Therefore, have a face to face conversation with her to see what’s going on.
You sound like a psycho who can't take rejection. She doesn't like you abd she doesn't want to talk to you. So leave her alone
It means they are themselves angry with u. Apologise and understand why they are pulling away instead of being Angry
You don't "ask her" anything. You just move on. She doesn't give a shit about you.
By not saying anything.
I would just send a? after some time has passed
Do it back to them
I don't play games.
