Let’s talk rejection!

Thought one...

I did see a meme earlier today which was captioned "Any reply is better than no reply" which then actually had screenshots of an alleged conversation - with the woman replying giving a "Sorry I didn't reply last night I was get railed" 

And to be honest, I can think of a lot worse folk could sent than no reply - I sometimes don't know how women are so restrained sometimes.

there's bits I get where you don't know if a non-response is because someone is busy, unwell... or not interested

that is sadly life

it's something to deal with - and the appropriate steps to take can vary based on the context of prior conversations.   I feel folk get obsessed with the concept that it MUST be ghosting and MUST be rude - but even if that is true, then haven't you dodged a bullet cos why would you want to pursue with someone rude

I believe that in other circumstances the person that would ghost online could be a potential normal encounter irl .
I don’t necessarily associate ghosting with the person being toxic, i would even know if we met irl, maybe.
I think there are way more factors and shades at stake here..
This could tell us something about social media and the way people use it dissociating it from reality..
I’m just sharing my thoughts..

I've just removed a load of comments that were completely innappropriate to this thread - please keep to the topic being discussed.

The problem is, if you tell them you're not interested,  they usually still carry on sending messages, they also usually put in a friend request as well, which is what I don't do on here. I think the automated message is probably the best thing.

The worst for me is when I help a person out of a dark hole and then BAM!!!... 1.5 years later, we were still going strong (best friends in a D/S relationship) until I was in a dark place, and they said, "Don't depend on me to be your emotional support. Just go fix yourself." And now you're thrown to the back burner being told "You're being too much".
