Ignorance is like a double-edged sword. You may ignore people and keep many problems at bay; however, you may also lose great relationships and friendships. It feels worse when youre at the receiving end of ignorance. How to combat this feeling? Well, instead of being all tit-for-tat, try dealing with it by other better ways.
1. Introspect
Recall all your actions. Think about all the things you said to them. There would be something which they took offense about. If its clear, you know what the problem is and can approach them to apologise.
2. Spam them
If someone is not receiving your calls, or has blocked you on their social media accounts then try getting in touch via mails or an SMS. If youve no clue why youre being ignored, then youve every right to spam them and ask what the matter is. Avoid being creepy while doing so.
3. Hold on
Okay, if things don't work out even after spamming them and calling innumerable times, wait for some time. The waiting sucks but theres nothing you can do, since the other person isnt reciprocating. Let time pass, maybe theyll get back in touch.
4. Be polite
Dont show signs of shock or surprise while asking them about their whereabouts. Be cool and start a conversation you would normally start when you were friends. Dont show your anger. Replace it with politeness.
5. Request a friend to intervene
If and only if the person truly knows you and the other person, should you ask them to step in. Ask them to play the messenger and tell them how bad you feel about being ignored by them.
6. Apologise
Even if its not your mistake, do so to save the relationship. Your ego isn't that important - your relationship is.
7. Stop thinking about it
Try not to think about it because it makes you feel sad. Its not like youre not trying to reconcile. But if things arent working, that shouldnt affect your life.
8. Make them jealous
Try to get their attention by hanging out with new friends and post pictures on social media. They might get jealous and try to contact you. And when they do, do not ignore them.
9. Ignore them back
When all of the above fails, its time to go the tit-for tat way. You cant be too nice and keep trying to get in touch with a person who doesnt care. Its better that your life moves on without people who want to make you feel bad all the time. You dont deserve that.
