Why Do People Ignore My Messages

Why do people ignore messages on LinkedIn?

People ignore LinkedIn messages for a number of reasons.Too busy to keep up. Quite a few people are just too busy to keep up with their incoming messages. This is very likely the situation with anyone who has many connections and a job that occupies too much of their time. The way to reach these people is not through LinkedIn messages but by phone, next time you meet them or through the messaging app they use for close connections only.Not familiar with interface. Many users who are not so busy fail to respond to LinkedIn messages either because they never saw them or they did see them but then couldn’t find them again. LinkedIn’s famously clunky interface is very hard to use for the average user. Under average users have no chance.Prefer California no. Perhaps the answer to your request is no and rather than spend time spelling that out explicitly they simply fail to respond so you will work it out for yourself. This is not good practice but common enough.Asking too much. Another common reason for not getting a response is simply that you asked too much. Perhaps you asked for an introduction to someone that they don’t really know well enough to ask. Or maybe you asked more than you have a right to ask based on how generous you have been in the past. Exactly how much is too much depends on the person. For a very close contact there might be no limit; for a marginal contact only the smallest favors will be granted.Don’t know you well enough. How much you ask depends on who you are and how well you know the person. If you have only met online, recently and you have never worked with the other person they might just think that they don’t know you well enough. I would never introduce someone to another connection unless I was sure that they are trustworthy. Some people are not very selective in who they connect with but they are selective when it is time to provide favors.It could also be just a matter of reputation. When you have a reputation for being helpful to other people then other people are more likely to help you — even complete strangers. This only works if you are genuinely helpful to the community and it works best if this help is visible — perhaps through the LinkedIn feed rather than in the messages.

Why do some people ignore text messages?

For a multitude of reasons… I can think of a few…Because it’s not urgent and they are busy and concentrated in something else right now, but they will respond laterBecause the text made them feel uncomfortable and they prefer to avoid answering rather than respond something you won’t feel good seeing and they won’t feel good writingBecause they haven’t figured out what to answer yetBecause they know they will see you soon and the answer will be easier given in personBecause they feel the text is somehow a demand for attention from you and they don’t want to give you it (in other words you’re bugging them)Because they haven’t seen it yetBecause they hate that form of communication and never answer that wayDepending on the situation, it can a bit rude not to answer… but there are situations where it does happen for legitimate reasons… a text sent to someone can feel respectful and a normal part of a relationship and communication but it can also feel the equivalent of someone tugging on your sleeve and talking to you while you’re already in a conversation with someone else… it can be insistent and demanding… like an unwelcomed hand reaching through space poking you to demand attention, sometimes at a time when it’s inconvenient for you to answer.We can usually guess pretty accurately why the person isn’t answering based on the relationship we have with them…

Why do people ignore my messages and they only text me when they need something? Am I that bad?

Not sure why you attach you being bad to others taking advantage!Not sure what your true situation is based on question but here is my stream of consciousness.Don’t help people who you feel are using you if it bothers you.OrThey may look up to you as someone they feel inferior to as they can ask you for help and so wouldn’t imagine you could need help. But if they ignore your texts, it’s very possible they are users. Im not sure what your texts are about but responding to a text is easy, unless it’s a very demanding and long text. That’s just annoying to others and people are busy. Call them if you want a friendship. It works better.There is a great poem by Khalil Gibran on the art of giving. Try reading it. If you expect something in return, it’s not true giving.If you want a relationship of some sort out of your giving and are not getting one, your help has strings attached. This is ok in the context of a friendship as friendship is based on give and take for both sides. But giving doesn’t guarantee you’re going to get a friend out of it. Don’t expect that. Give from the heart not from a place where you want to manipulate people into being your friend.Keep strong boundaries and have a limit you set to your giving. Maybe help twice or three times depending on the type of help, and then wait to see what they do. If they don’t reciprocate move on. Be friendly but unavailable to help or communicate as a friend going forward. Keep it to hello and goodbye. Your issue sounds like you just need some boundaries. People will suck you dry if you don’t have them.Use this space in your life to find true friends that are at your level in kindness and generosity. If these people don’t want to be in your life wirh equal give and take, let them go be unconscious and self centered somewhere else. No love lost.

Why do some people ignore your Facebook messages?

Personally, I hate Facebook. I absolutely loath how important it has become to some people. Even a large number of my family members view Facebook as a part of life. Not just their life, but life as a whole. They constantly complain about how I never respond to their comments/likes and ask numerous times for me to go check their shared post as if I even cared…I understand it’s an amazing website that allows sharing of content, friending and keeping social connections; it’s very popular for a business startup to host their website through a Facebook page.It. Is. Not. Needed.Facebook is not a necessity. I wish I hadn't even made my account. I've posted a total of two times in the 10 years I’ve had it.To summarize, if I am ignoring your Facebook messages, it is because I simply do not use Facebook. The rare cases where I do log in, it wouldn't make much sense to respond “Hey” 3 weeks late, only to again not receive the response to that greeting for another month or so.

Why do introvert people ignore text messages from people they care about sometimes?

It’s sometimes a lack of energy; maybe physical energy, but maybe mental energy. If it’s not important or very much begging for a reply, sometimes I just leave it. I’ll admit to that. If it’s important, I’ll reply straight away.Sometimes I just forget. I put it aside for 10 seconds, and then I forget completely. My memory is so bad.And then there’s the other reason.I’m not going to pretend I’m hugely popular, but say hypothetically I have fifteen people I could call proper ‘friends’. Friends I talk to, and enjoy talking to, and seeing; those I trust, and like a lot. Then, I’m also postgraduate student, taking up a lot of my time, and my mental effort. I also have other commitments in my life, and then sometimes, I need to just to sit and do nothing for a while to recharge.Because I’m a busy introvert, replying to messages will disrupt my day.If I reply as soon as I get it, and then they do the same — suddenly I’m in a conversation. But the thing is, it’s on a phone. It’s not like meeting in a cafe for a chat, and eventually going our separate ways. Instead, it’s like having a group of 15 people following me around all day, chattering on and expecting a response.I have other things to do, and focus on. I can’t just give in to whatever messages come flying into my phone. Sometimes I need to breathe, and switch off from being in constant contact. Yes, it’s so easy to send a message and get in touch nowadays, but it’s too easy.I just need to take a break to deal with my day, first.
