Okay on facebook when I write a message on someone's wall most won't answer. For example there is this one person I must have left 20 messages on their wall for the last year they never even once responded but I know they respond to other people because I see they are active and everything. They completely ignore me so why did they accept my friendship request in the first place? (This person was the one that wanted me to add them on facebook).

Then texting... No one ever answers my Text Messages. Only my father and my mother. :cry:
People give me their number and say "Ok send me a text for so and so" and I do it but they never answer.

Another thing is that you talk to people about it and they will just say "Oh I was terribly busy", really? It's the summer holiday and you're busy?

The thing I hate the most in this world is being ignored by people I know, it makes me want to take an AK-47 and shoot Bin Laden a second time. :oops:

I know how you feel. I get mostly ignored too. Happens here, on FB, & in other places. Wish I had some helpful advice....maybe spend less time on the computer? I need to do that too.

I feel exactly the same way as you-pretty much on any social media site it happens-but if I don't respond they get instantly offended when they want something from me or something like that.

I have since then removed 100 people from my friend list, if they can't respond to a 'Hi how are you?' then they can go screw themselves.

What about text messages, do you experience the same thing?

I hate "How are you?" questions so I tend to ignore it.

Yeah, I've had some of my text messages get ignored. But then again, I don't usually text anyone. So maybe because it's out of character for me, people don't respond?

Maybe you're not saying anything they can respond to.

I am, in everything I write (as I have learned to do) I always ask a question or say something to which any well educated person would respond.

Oh? Do you talk about the same things a lot? Are all of these friends well versed in the subjects you're bringing up?

I wonder if people get something out of requesting friends they don't want, or feel some obligation to make invitations they'd rather not have accepted. I also wonder if I've irritated them with my lack of social fluency, and they later wish they hadn't sought my friendship in the first place. I have rarely had any good results come from either calmly asking why they do this, or angrily confronting them about my hurt feelings over the issue.

No just normal stuff. If I was to talk about the 6th Egyptian Dynasty on Facebook I wouldn't be surprised to not get an answer.

I see. I don't have any advice for you, then. Sorry.

fb- I totally get it. I am ignored by the majority of my "friends" but I have 1 or 2 who mostly reply....that is my aunt and a friend from church

I don't text, because I don't want to be as addicted as I am to the internet

Yea, I know the feeling. But, maybe they are busy. Give them the benefit of the doubt. Then, if you find that is wrong, be annoyed.

Interesting......Uh, violence is not the answer. Besides, shooting a dead thing will not make it any more dead...I promise.

I sometimes get ignored on here, and I have once or twice ignored.

BUT, that is only if the person is overwhelmingly and totally opposite of me and I struggle to communicate with them. Other than that, I always try to return all emails, messages, etc.

Though, some people are slow...I know my life will be like a roller-coaster....1 minute I be bored out of my daylights, and the next I'll have a million things to do....so I am semi-inconsistent in my timing.

That's all for now folks. :D

What I really hate is being ignored in person. Even if I am asking a stupid question, dont just sit there and act like I didnt say anything...say SOMETHING.
