What do you hate the most about being ignored?
What does it do to you when someone ignores you?
What's going on in your head?

If I'm being ignored by work colleagues I love it.
If I'm being ignored by family members I shrug it off.
If I'm being ignored by a good friend I figure they will come round eventually.

If I'm being ignored by the love of my life I jump off bridges or drive into telegraph poles (in my mind) until I'm back on their radar again... Ha.

Eats me alive from the inside..and thats only if I love the person. Feels like a slow death really.

+1 agree with this also.

If I am being ignored from a lover, I will actually forget they are ignoring me and try and talk to them and if I talk to them and they still are ignoring me, I think it's funny and will chuckle to myself. Then I just give them more space and wait until they come around. I didn't realize being ignored bothered so many people. I do this often, without even thinking about it, for me it's just like giving someone their space.

There are only 2 instances where I dispise ignoring...
1. The other person initiates a convo and then blatantly ignores you when it's your turn to participate.
2. When asked a question... And the person asking ignores the answer....

Both boil my blood to no end and will get the same respect in return. Period. 🙂

In love:

It makes you wonder
It makes you think
It's splitting in half

In friendship:

It makes you realize how their not worth it
It makes you understand that they really don't like you
They are immature and don't deserve friendship or loyalty

In family:

It makes you strong
It makes you more capable and independent to tell them off
I wouldn't put up with a failing relationship within the family if its only going to wear us both out.
No conversation, no interaction, nothing!

Infuriates me beyond all reason. No need to be immature and ignore someone. Especially if it was your fault in the first place. Just dont want to take responsibility for their actions. The more you ignore the more I stew about it. By the time they come back I either go nuclear or I've already deleted them. Wont hear one word about it either. I dont accept this type of treatment or behavior because most of the time its calculated.
