Don't you just hate it when you send someone a message on MySpace (or any other social community) and they don't respond?
Of course after you don't get a rapid response you start asking yourself why. Immediately, you think the main reason could be because he or she havs't signed in recently. Thinking that causes you to go check his/her page. After checking you see his/her "last signed in" date is either that day or he/she is online.
The pain of rejection starts rumbling but you push it down thinking maybe he/she hasn't checked his/her "inbox". That causes you to view your "sent messages". Once your page loads and you look beside the message you sent, your world starts crumbling down. Okay...I'm overexaggerating...but you can't lie and say your mouth doesn't drop.
Anyway, right beside your message to him/her it says "read".
OH MY GOODNESS! Isn't that just the worst? A sharp pain hits your stomach. The rejection starts crumbling down upon you. No matter what you try to stay oblivious to reality.
You start trying to come up with all kinds of excuses:
1. Maybe he/she had to go to the bathroom and he/she will reply afterward
2. Maybe he/she got an important phone call that he/she couldn't miss.
3. Maybe he/she was cooking and checking messages on his/her laptop at the same time. After he/she read the message, the food caught on fire. Which traveled up to his/her hair. Then he/she had to go put his/her head in the toilet to put the fire out because, due to a storm, the water is out in the whole area.
Within six seconds of you checking your sent messages you're ready to send another message asking, "Are you okay? You're hair isn't on fire is it?"
Regardless of the excuses you come up with you know you're being ignored. If you have ever felt like this you are not alone. I have gone through this many times. One way to get over it is to blog about it. :)

I don't reply if the person is old or looks creepy. haha
And also based on how they messaged me. I judge what they write. =P
hahaha. agreed.
Sigh, yes this has happened to me. I finally called and left a voicemail message and got back an short, annoyed email response.
ahhh man. well good, at least i'm not the only one. :)
not that i send out messages all the time or anything... but i do get anxious and antsy when i'm waiting for a response with something like that.It used to bother me, but it bothered me more is that in person they act like they never received it. Afterward, I was just you know fk them and just fk that sh!t. If they reply then it's all good. If not then fk it, I don't need to stay in contact with them and I don't in the end.
ahaha it's so true. it's funny too at the same time when you think about it, lol. ;)
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh happening to me RIGHT NOW!! sooo annoying. Makes me rethink absolutely everything!
I felt that way frequently with certain people I was eager to talk to. Those people aren't important to me anymore. They weren't interested in talking to me and I got the message and realized they weren't worth my time. This has happened on more than one occasion. Kind of hurtful, but that's a part of life.
chea, because i'm impatient, but i forget about it
I'm being ignored right now actually..
ugh yeaah thats so frustrating, it makes me rethink everything i said, then i wonder if mutual friends see that i wrote on their wall (on facebook) and then see that i got ignored.
oh my, that happens to me ALL the time, like in email, icq and msn, I'm already numb about it, so I don't send msg to them anymore.
i've been around that block 1,000 times. right now this guy i like hasn't signed on AIM since i saw in 2 1/2 weeks ago. he has a facebook, and i have a myspace. we don't call eachother on the phone just cause...we don't. if we make plans its over AIM. and he's NEVER on anymore. i have NO clue what to do. i miss him =/
I just think the person's kind of douchey...not worth my time.
...
i hate it when that happens.
like what, am i not worth even a three word response?
some people are just assholes.
what does "just because you spec pew pew, doesnt mean you can dps" mean ?
and yes i hate it when im ignored.
It bothers me that it says "I AM A APPLE" on the banana, when it should be written, "I AM AN APPLE."
My friend is doing this denial thing. This guy she's been crushing on CLEARLY does not return her feelings, and yet she's determined to find out for sure, and then figure out WHY he isn't interested. I keep telling her that she's wasting her time, but then she gives me all this bullsh!t like "But he did this the other day, why would he do that??" and "Then why can't I get over him??" or "I can't help but feel this way!"
"I can't help it" is one of the most ANNOYING phrases to me.
guys message me sometimes on myspace. they're say something like 'hey! what's up! we haven't talked in awhile." and i'll reply something like "heyyy not much you?" and they'll respond with another message that needs another reply and i just never respond back. is that wrong? somewhat. but honestly, i have a boyfriend, and i could care less about talking to other guys. i don't need to talk to other guys.Â
omg. i know exactly how you feel!
ughh i HATE, READ....its like wth? but y didnt you respond? than you call the person and ask, "did you get my message"?, why didnt u respond? yeahhhhhhh it sucks when my bf does that. =\
oh well.
i never really send myspace messages. i get worked up like that over texts though lol - but i try not to cause i know its also kind of nutty. unless its really serious.
HAHA! I HATE THAT, TOO!
Sounds a little creepy, too worried and paranoid. To be honest, you should tone down before you turn into a cyber stalker. If they're really your friends and care about you they'd eventually reply, if they don't, then f them. you'll find better friends.
No I don't. How pointless.
=D
When it comes to my correspondence, for the most part I try not to play "mind games". I figure there are enough mind games going on in the world as it is.
