what do you do when someone you like(not in a romantic way) ignores you..for example a friend...

SW-User

If I care deep enough, I investigate.
Otherwise I just watch them slide away.

Ask them straight out what's up?

If he doesn't want to try to fix it.

Then ... ✌

Fist message.. np everyone gets busy.. wait a few days.

Second message.. I wait a few more days or more

Third message.. I express concern.. hey what's up.. I'm worried..

If still no answer. I give up. But I never get angry, just hurt. God only knows I've disappeared on people. Sometimes there is just no way for someone to articulate what the problem is and in their mind vanishing is doing you a favor. Doesn't make it right though.

Wait until they're ready to give me attention. If they're ignoring me - it only means they don't have the time to let me know what's up with them. Unless they're doing it out of spite...in which case, I just wait for them to stop acting like they're a toddler and tell me what's wrong. I don't like wasting my time on people or begging to be noticed.

I back off and move on. I don't like to pester someone I respect when that person would rather not talk.

I get my feelings hurt, and return the favor by ignoring them.

Wonder if I did something wrong and give them space.

Wonder why they're not talking to me and then get over it, but then think about it again and maybe try to get their attention in a different way to make sure they're not ignoring me.

Tell them u want to support them and you're hoping they will come to you when ready.. my guess is he likes u more than a friend. Sounds like he's avoiding you so he doesn't get hurt by gentle rejection ...am I close at least ?

I let them go. I once had a BEST FRIEND, until I found out he didn't consider me his best friend and now we're no longer friends. Cry over someone who doesn't give a shit about me? FUCK THAT.

I make it well known that I am aware of what's going on. If they persists then I start to keep my distance.

SW-User

Stop talking to them and delete them from my life
