I hate when people don't reply online.

paleoperson

I hate when people just will NOT acknowledge someone's message, something they just said and put some thought into it. You could just write any reply in five seconds.

Even people you barely know, or people you only know from online or strangers you don't know at all. Is it that hard to show a little common decency to reply with something? I'm not talking about someone repeatedly trying to strike up conversation, I'm talking about saying some interesting point and it's almost a kind of active hostility of them to be like that.

It's just sooOOOoooOOooo disrespectful. I don't think that there is any sense at all to it other than that the person gets the idea that they're too important to spend any few seconds replying back. And they don't see how they're going to make themselves look good to their friends or family by replying to your point, so therefore what's the point for them.

It just leaves what you just said hanging up in the air. Refusing to acknowledge them as a human being. There is no philosophical meaning or explanation for it. It's definitely 100% a method of feeling superior to people. Can you imagine if you saw someone outside and thought they needed help or I don't know just said something interesting, and they refused to reply, just kept going as if they never heard you. It's so rude, it's baffling to me.

I honestly think you could spilt the world into people who are miserable sods who are just selfish and regularly won't reply and are ruthless and other nice polite people who try to get along, I'd make the split maybe 70:30.

Tinder's a part of it. A very toxic environment for some people. It's not just Tinder though, I can understand if you're getting a ton of messages maybe you can't answer them all.

If your OP is anything to go on, I can see why.

On the contrary, the idea that you have to be available to answer calls and texts whenever just because you have a mobile phone is brutal. I often put my phone on airplane mode or silent for a few hours here or there when I feel like it. Big deal.

I'm talking about people who refuse to message back at all. The dreaded being left "on read" as the kids are calling it these days. It's so mean and disrespectful.

....sometimes. Even when no it seems harsh. Anyone asks me something or makes a remark to me online or offline I will always try to answer them back at least for a while. I guess I'm not as cool or exclusive as these people that are serial ignorers.

I can only suggest that you spend less time online (I hope that this is not insensitive). I will be unable to participate in this conversation further and you should feel under no obligation to acknowledge this message.

Some days people have plenty of time to reply and some days people are busy doing other stuff, there's about a million possible distractions these days so sometimes it's a case of been unlucky with timing

You should've just made a post in the TA thread.

OP, you keep saying you've posted something "interesting", you feel it's interesting, but maybe no one else does?
You are also assuming that everyone else has the same interactions with this app or method of communication, you may post something and keep checking for replies, other people may post something and not look at it again for days. You are assuming people are hostile by not answering, maybe they just have no interest but their lack of interest does not mean they show you any ill will.

Also, your post is the most needy, "why doesn't everyone think I'm as great as I think I am" post I have every read, sort yourself out.

Have you considered growing up? It works wonders in these situations.

pleas advice

Mod delete this whole thread, (apart from the OP)
