You’re more patient than me.
To me, whilst it may not be intended as such from them. It’s a clear indication there is nothing worthwhile there. So, no more messages from me.
It seems you’re hoping for some quality communication here. All the best with that.

@nowic2 what?

Lol.. i couldn't leave it like that...but seriously.. why would you jump to such a conclusion? This is a general pet peeve that could apply to anyone, people who are integral to my life and those who are passing through, ..many family members.
Im sorry if I brought up some bad memories

OR when they say "I'm not sure what you mean by..." ... and make you explain all over again and again.
It's called gaslighting. They keep you busy explaining, while avoiding the issue at hand and eventually hope the issue will go away.
And then you wonder what YOU are doing wrong to not be able to get through to them.
"I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you."

😀😀 That happens to me very often nowadays. Welcome to the 2k kids, who can't read, think, or write more than a line. They are babies who are fed in spoons and just don't know what a meal means, nor they have the patience to read, understand and reply.
They are so afraid to write a lot as they think their mind is exposed .. while they don't hesitate to send nudes.
But that's the trick I use to spot honeytrap / scammers, as they just get pissed off to read more than a line.

@in10RjFox its also a way to keep juggling conversations like a plate spinner in the circuis
Lilymoon · F
Or worse yet "k" 😒
Jayciedubb · 56-60, M
@Lilymoon grrrrrr😤 yes. That's the worst. It's passive aggressive and dismissive all rolled into a simple one letter reply.
Its usually meant with full knowledge of that, while "what" is meant as a way to buy some time, ..usually

Happens too often with me as well.
I make an interesting post and get one word, nonsensical responses.
I do not respond to those inane responses.

But they usually reply with more engagement to the conversation.
Which is why I do not reply. Stop the nonsense immediately.

Send them the same message again lol
Jayciedubb · 56-60, M
@plungesponge but by doing so, you reinforce undesired behavior, which, for me, is a habit of making people who are practicing effective communication put in double effort for their bare minimum effort .
Sometimes it affects me the same way it did Jules (Samuel L Jackson) in Pulp Fiction and I wish I had the same resolve. ..Sometimes.
There are so many implications if i put some thought into it. ..like, why even reply if it's a message. There's no need if they don't have anything useful to add

Worse yet, the old you have to wait until the user replies to message
Jayciedubb · 56-60, M
@Virgo79 if i know their online habits and they seem to be avoiding my message, I'm not to proud or polite not to send a follow-up, "hello?" ..or, "..really?"
..or, "ok"
..or, "ok"
