My friend suddenly stopped talking to me. What should I do?
It happens all the time with everyone at some point or the other. I have had friends, female friends, girlfriends do that to me in the past. All you can do is try to get in touch with them a few times and if they don’t respond after a few attempts ( Let’s say 6), you need to let them go and live your life. If they are not replying after repeated attempts you made to talk to them, that means, they are ignoring you for dead sure.!In these cases, you don’t have to feel bad, but good that YOU tried your best to get in touch with the person. You were the BIGGER man/woman who swallowed the insults and non-acknowledgement and still made an effort. If the friendship broke, it is not your fault anymore because you were the one who tried to stay in touch and tried to communicate. It is on the person who is ignoring to talk to you now, you did your best. Forget this person and move on. Keep your doors open for them to walk back in your life, remember, there is a difference between you and this ignoring person, let the difference remain, Stay CLASSY, but remind them of their behavior when they come back in your life.There are many, many people out there of all kinds of age, sex, race, nationalities and background that you can befriend . All you have to do is be a good, honest person with pure intentions, you be humble and the world will salute you!Good luck.
My friend suddenly stopped talking to me. I've tried talking to her, but she ignores me and talks with my other friends instead. What should I do?
Give the friendship a break for a while. People who value your friendship will take the time to make contact with you - you have shown you value her friendship because you have tried to make contact with her. Now it's time to step back and see if she can show the same appreciation. Use this opportunity to explore new friendships and activities, so you are enjoying yourself rather than sitting around feeling ignored. Avoid giving her opportunities to ignore you, and try to avoid talking about the situation with your mutual friends, in case things get repeated and misinterpreted. If you don't hear from your best friend after a month or so, and you still feel upset and puzzled by this, maybe send her a friendly email saying that you miss chatting to her and you hope that everything is okay. Don't worry too much about why she isn't talking to you. Again if she valued the friendship, she would tell you if you had done something to upset her, so that the two of you could resolve the issue. Maybe she needs some time before she can tell you what's wrong. Maybe she's getting a kick out of ignoring you and playing favorites with your other friends. You don't need to put up with being treated like the runner up in a popularity competition.
My best friend is ignoring me :(?
If she's treating you like that and she's done it more then once, clearly she's not a very good friend. My BFF and I have been BFFs since 1st grade- for almost 8 years now. She's lived on the other side of the country for 5 of those years (Since the end of 3rd grade). We've had absolutely no trouble staying BFFs even though we're so far apart and we only see each other once a year. I hate to say it, but your mom's right. If she treats you like this, then she isn't a friend worth keeping.
How to stop freezing up when people get mad?
Wow. I had the same question out here awhile ago. The responses were lame, so I'll tell you a little about my story. I used to think that my response was normal (freezing when yelled at). It's not. Basically it started when I was very young and my ill tempered dad would yell at my mom, etc. Freezing is what all mammals (including humans) do out of survival instinct. When there is a threat, we freeze, fight or flee. Freezing would be used by animals who wish not to be noticed and eaten. It explains why you dont look people in the eye. So until recently I didnt realize why I was so afraid of people. I concluded that it was just the complicated story of my life with little revelations that occurred when I pieced together my life story. Therapy helped facilitate this storytelling because they are trained in asking the right questions. Meditation also helped (binaural beats). I am a lot better now and equate it to 'not being scared of the boogeyman.' People may get mad and holler but they are nothing to really be afraid of. It comes down to how comfortable you are with situations, and identifying the spots you are feeling pain when you are uncomfortable. When you are conscious of where you are feeling your discomfort (for me it is right behind the sternum--touching it when u are in pain helps!) you can help dull it. Because your fear is just a physical reaction to things that are not really beating u, it's just yourself doing it. Good luck.
My muslim friend has stopped talking to me... Why!? Herevis the full picture....?
Maybe it's not all about you at all. Perhaps he is depressed and just doesn't want to talk, period. Not wanting to talk, being grouchy, not showing any interest sounds very much like depression to me. Maye his marriage isn't so happy after all. Perhaps he'd like to chuck in his job, walk away from his life and go have a good time, instead of which he's stuck as a husband and father doing a job he may no longer enjoy. It needn't be anything to do with his religion. It happened to me back in the 1980s that one day my formerly friendly supervisor suddenly stopped talking to me. Worse still she started laughing and joking with everyone else in the office while ignoring me .When I told MY manager he asked her what was wrong and she laughed and told him I was imagining it. Then she was smirking at me because she knew she'd upset me. We worked together in a team of two. So I know how bad it makes you feel when you're confronted all day by someone who will barely give you a civil word and is openly hostile but won't explain why. I know in my case it was because she was sick and tired of me - I was ten years younger than her and a bit immature and she had had enough of me. I can see that now, looking back. I'm not saying that's the case with you - but sometimes people do suddenly go off their friends overnight and blank them from then on. I sympathise with your reluctance to change a convenient job. Unfortunately I think you will just have to get used to the new, silent colleague. You've made the approach, asked what's wrong and been rebuffed. You've explored your options and consulted your manager. Now I think you either have to put up with it or leave, because he hasn't actually committed any disciplinary offence, and is not doing so by refusing to engage in unnecessary social conversation with you. Be polite, be professional, and accept that your friendship may be over, because it takes two to tango and he clearly isn't dancing any longer. If it is depression maybe he will eventually come out of it and be the man he once was.
What does it mean if someone sends you a blank text message?
I used to work for a mobile phone service company, and we'd see this occasionally. Most phones do not have the capacity to send blank messages. You're required to type something in there in order to send it. Usually, it means there's something wrong with the message he sent. For example, if you start a text message with * or other weird symbols, the network thinks it's a message for the network, not for you, so you get a blank message on your end. Or pictures may show up like this sometimes. Sometimes, something is wrong with the network. I would ask him to make sure he knows that you're not getting his messages.
My girlfriend's best friend hates me?
Alright, so I've been going out with this girl for a while now, and I love her. However, her best friend blatantly says that she "has a strong disliking for me". Originally, I thought she was kidding, because her sense of humor is like that, but turns out she was serious. She'll talk **** about me right in front of my girlfriend and I and try to make me feel unwanted or a nuisance. One day when I tried to sit with my girlfriend in the gym before the first bell rang, her best friend got up and walked away, clearly stating that it was because I sat there, but she said it with this weird smile on her face, so I thought she was joking. Then, the next day (once again, right in front of my girlfriend), she said that if I sat there in the mornings then she would never sit there again. Sometimes when she wants to talk to my girlfriend about private stuff, she'll say, "I can't because that thing is sitting next to you." Also, when she's around, she talks to my girlfriend non-stop and I'm stuck there waiting for my girlfriend to turn around and try saying something to me, because every time I try to talk to her, her best friend cuts me off and keeps talking. I've asked my girlfriend to talk to her best friend before about saying these kinds of things and to get her to relax a bit and give my girlfriend time to talk to me, and she says she has spoken with her best friend about it, but I see no change. They've known each other for 4 years now while I've known my girlfriend for a little over 2 years. What should I do?
