Has this ever happened to you?

Being ignored happens to me all the time.

But that doesn't mean they are consciously being rude.
Maybe you just have different interests, so they're not interested in what you say.
Or they don't notice that you are expecting a reaction.

Would you ignore me, equestriatola? Some people would because they just pre-judge me and are idiots at the same time.

Yeah I've had people rudely turn their backs on me many times. It happened a lot when I was in school. I found it confusing but preferable to being bullied or harrassed. I think they're thinking its easier to just withdraw and say nothing than to engage in some form of communication in an attempt to fix things. In some instances I tried fixing things but that just ended in more hurt because it really drove home the message that they don't value the friendship or even me as a person.

Has anybody been ignored at the first glance? That has happened to me, too, sadly.

All I want is a good friendship, but yet girls tend to turn me back!

I think, according to my therapist, is that women tend to be less direct, whereas men like to be more direct when talking. Is this true?

Yeah. I don't get it. I can be talking quite well with someone in person when I see them, but then I'll send them texts or messages or whatever, and they'll never get back to me... and you see them getting back to other people all the time, and you just think, what have I done to earn this? o.O I know people can be busy sometimes, but when they never reply, you start to wonder... ah well, sod 'em. I know who my real friends are.

Some of them, sadly, get a kick out of singling people out to ignore, bully or play games with. These days I just write them off if they won't even tell me WHETHER I did anything to deserve it... some people will capitalize on others' insecurity about having friends, dates, relationships, etc. to bully and torture them... sick, sick animals.

Yes, this happened to me many times when I was at school. I would make friends with someone else who, like myself, wasn't very popular, but within a short space of time they would make some more friends and leave me for them. Sometimes if their new friends excluded them, they would go back to hanging out with me, until they found more friends. I think I was seen as a 'safe' mediate point between 'real' friends.

Kids only approach me in school when they want something, usually only to copy my algebra homework. They lose interest easily when I explain keys to solving equations, I can't tell if they're bad at math or lazy, or maybe some of both.

It's happened primarily to females; with men, they tend to be more direct and considerate towards me.

Everyone on the internet is a suspect nowadays You can't approach someone and ask something that seems personal without either offending them or sets their paranoia off.

Oh Hi, is that your car? Who are you and why do you want to know?
