A really random thought

Here is a question for all of you lovely permanent / semi-permanent / occasional peeps:
If you ignore someone long enough, will they eventually go away?
hmmm…














I told u to stop calling me but u wouldnt lsn.
Thats why i had to ignore u
Sry
@Johnnie
Nice nice.. I like it. However, I want something that matches my character more. A little bit more umph!
sometimes..depends on the charcater of that person lol..
Depends….
If you are ignoring a woman – maybe… women can smell the “I don’t want anything to do with you” vibe from another woman.
If you are ignoring a man…. No!
They get the hint and theres those who don’t and you just have show them the light.
this is probably not the answer you wanted but it depends! Girls usually do, sometimes if you ignore a guy though he’ll turn more stalkerish….depends really!
someone would have to give me a legit reason to ignore them like they say something bad about my awesome long hair, or they tell me i stink like a sumo wrestler just took a big crap on a burning tire…then i would ignore them…and probably go take a bath. :mrgreen:
you’d be suprised to know who lingers still, they just don’t want to be seen that’s all…
Depends on how mentally unstable they are. *grins*
Most people will go away if you ignore them long enough. But if they are obsessed with you, they will never go away, lol.
Ignoring someone probably works better than telling them they are an idiot. I do agree with most of the comments, girls do tend to realize they are being ignored, males tend to just keep talking and then just start watching until they have something better to do.
My favorite is just using intelligence to shut them down, if you show them how stupid they are, they stop trying to look stupid.
short answer, no. long answer is too long for a comment.
People tend to go after things they can’t obtain which I’m sure that u already know… Be careful karma’s a pain in the behind if you don’t like something or some one confront them n tell them how u feel… Don’t ignore bcuz later on in life u will ask yourself the “what if” questions n u don’t want to be the guilty one…. When crap hits the fan you need to deal with it rather than running from it…
oh n to answer the question if someone calls u and u ignore their calls and don’t respond to their messages for appx one week that’s when they begin to realize where u stand n that ur not interested
Sure, but it’s rude.
Instead you should try and get to know the person you want to ignore, become more friendly to each other.
Or if that isn’t an option, just tell them (politely and privately) so they can move on and no longer disturb you. Or they could blow up and you ip ban them.
I asked the magic 8 ball for you:
All signs point to yes.
No
most of the time yes but with crazy ex boyfriend stalker types you actually have to tell him repeatedly to leave you alone.
Its not true! I have tried to ignore my ex for 3 years! She is still shows up just when I think she has gone
Also, if it is true and there is a God… He must really hate us.
Usually
No. They won’t go away. They’ll keep coming back in your face, and eventually ask you, “Why are you ignoring me?” Hellllloooooo, I’m ignoring you, and I ain’t about to break my record by answering you!!!! Sheesh. Some people can be so annoying.
And I’m talking about a girl. Guys might get the hint, dunno, but girls can be downright thick about these things. Must be the love of confrontation, wanting to get into a cat-fight or something.
Did you tell that person why you don’t want to talk to him or her? May be a lot easier to get rid of that person that way. Get to the point.
If you care so much about somebody, will you leave him/her for a long while? Love is mutual and needs to be built up together without grumbling and causing harm to one another.
I wish, but I believe the answer is no.
For example, I ignore my 28 year old sister all the time, and unfortunately she has yet to go away. I thought about selling her, but whoever bought her would just bring her back and demand a refund.
I also ignore my neighbors all the time. The bad ones have yet to go away. They just send their kids down to my yard to scream and trash it.
Ignorance in my world definitely isn’t bliss.
Survey says… YES!
Proved it tonight!
I made it a goal to ignore everyone who repeatedly hurt me and contributed nothing to my life. The list is shorter than I thought. There are some people that I come in contact who make me angry. I try to be nice and forgive, but then I lower my guard and BAM! They hurt me again. And again. And again.
I argue all the time w/ myself. Do I have a duty to these people? Is it OK to hurt myself over and over again? Is there something to make this situation right? What am I doing wrong?
I have no answers just confusion and pain.
No, they don’t go away. I’m going to change my email and phone numbers (again) so they don’t find me. I wanna disappear.
