I Hate It When Someone Messages Me And Say Hey Or Hi

But I realise that people here are vulnerable, and sometimes a simple 'hi' to judge the reaction from the other person is like a gateway to being able to open up. It's hard work to respond, and sometimes I don't have the patience/time. But, even if they don't realise, a lot of the people who do it are simply looking to gauge your response and see if they can trust you to react positively, supportively or otherwise gently. If yes, you can end up with some of the most amazing conversations. If you ignore them, you are simply denying all those opportunities.

Your call still, of course. Just sharing my experience :)

Well, but if a man just messages "hi" and their recent activity shows they added a bunch of women to their circle, maybe I am being unfair in my assumption of their motive but given that their recent activity does not show anything to reassure me, I assume they are fishing for a woman for reasons that do not align with my purposes of being here. Then there are those who send the message "how are you?" every three days from same guy, and I am sorry but I am not comfortable answering that just from someone who never contacted me before and cannot even change the question they ask. Plus if it were something that occasionally happens, but I get those "Hi" messages constantly, and I guess I just don't have sufficient confidence in it ending in a fruitful conversation.

dude peace out. chill. language never helps anyone, not does aggression. notice until your language came in, there was a peaceful discussion here, where we were challenging each other, agreeing and disagreeing. you are most welcome to join the discussion, but it helps to quote exactly what you're referring to and say how it makes you feel. insulting others' views seldom adds value to anything that's all. relax :)

these people, I have no problems with. its understandable when someone just says hi and wait for a reply. its when they dont wait for a reply right after making the greeting. thats what fires me up.
