Search Results: ignoring me

I sent him a message thanking him for his kindness in the past and he left my message on read then.. he responded after I called him a jackass…

“Can I ask something? I sent a kind message to a guy I once had a connection with — we were never in a relationship, but it mattered to me. He ignored it. Then after I mentioned he still followed my family, he unfollowed them all.

We weren’t romantic, but it still hurts.

If he really cared at all, wouldn’t he have done something instead of pretending like I never mattered?

Do people really go that cold just because they’ve moved on — or is it avoidance?”

I am trying to collect data on what kinds of people this happens to. I'd really appreciate you sharing any short or long details about your demographic/ personality/how you were brought up/dating experiences.

I don't know if I am just hyper aware of how people are, but I feel like often people already know very early on if a man or woman is full of crap or not, and I don't ignore red flags like some people do. Maybe not in 5 minutes but after a full 12 hours of conversation, I think it is about as clear as day, at least for me. I know some people actually "try" to believe lies are the truth, and then it becomes truth in their minds. Sometimes it is because of loneliness. Sometimes it is because the words sound so sweet. Sometimes the person is just so physically attractive. I am wondering in how many scenarios there are where adults genuinely had no clue until way later.

I feel like this might happen more for introverts, maybe only children, people who lack dating experience, and basically people who do not interact as much. Then again, I could be wrong. Maybe some extroverts are too friendly and see the best in too many people.

Just looking for honest stories/experiences. No judgment here.
