6 Reasons Why Your Girlfriend Is Suddenly Ignoring You

Women are notorious for ignoring people. And if your girlfriend is ignoring you, she probably has a reason that she thinks justifies her behavior.

When we get upset, we have been taught that confrontation and being angry isn’t cool. So, sometimes, the way we deal with anger is just to ignore the person we are angry with. When you ask your girlfriend what is wrong, and she answers “nothing” or “I’m fine,” I can assure you that she isn’t.

Those types of answers are ways that women ignore people. You could likely ask a thousand times, and she will avoid you, put you off, or just flat out not answer. If your girlfriend is ignoring you, it can mean several things. Don’t jump to conclusions or make assumptions about the way she feels or why she is doing what she is.

# She is pissed at something you did

Women aren’t good at confrontation, but what we are good at is silent punishment. If you said something in passing that pissed her off, didn’t ask how her day was, or left your socks in the wrong place, it could lead to her ignoring you. The good news is that she will probably get over it quickly.

# She wants your attention

Completely the opposite of what it seems, if your girlfriend is ignoring you, she may be in need of a little of your attention. When we feel like the guy in our life isn’t giving us our due focus, then the way that we respond is showing you how we feel by ignoring you.

Like for like, but the problem is that you didn’t know you were ignoring her to begin with. All she really wants you to do is notice that she is ignoring you. So, if you show some concern, then she will probably get over it and stop.

# It is that time of the month

I am sorry, girls, but I am going to sell our gender out. If she is ignoring you, then there is a chance she is just hormonal and feels like punishing you just because she can, because of something you probably did last week! At certain times of the month, women lose the ability to be ourselves, and some of us can lose our damn minds.

If she is ignoring you because she has PMS, then you are probably lucky. Although it doesn’t feel like it, ignoring you rather than raging on you is much better. The good news is that it should end in a couple of days when the invasion of the body snatchers is over.

# She isn’t into you

I hate to say it, but some girls just don’t have the maturity or the ability to tell the guy in their life that they no longer want them in their life. If she has been ignoring you for quite some time, it may be time to consider the possibility that she just isn’t into you anymore.

If she isn’t answering your text messages, your phone calls, and is avoiding you altogether, it may be time to see the light and think about moving on.

Talk to her about it calmly and let her know you’re feeling ignored for a while. Ask her if there’s anything on her mind, and hopefully she’ll tell you what’s bothering her.

# She is going through a rough time

Sometimes, when women are going through an emotionally rough time, they turn inward and shut out the world.

If she is having a hard time in a relationship with her mom, her best friend, or some other thing is going on in her life, she may have limited capacity to deal with the rest of the world.

Assuming you don’t want to deal with her drama, she may just be trying to deal with it on her own. Knowing that most guys think our issues are ridiculous, when we are having a hissing fight with someone else in our lives, we may let the relationship with our man go until it is resolved. Try not to take it personally.

# She may be really stressed out

When people get stressed out, and they can’t handle the situation that they find themselves in, whether it is in her career or at school, she may have to block out things in her life to focus and get through a crisis.

If you notice that it isn’t just you that she is ignoring, but she is pretty much MIA in her life, then likely, it has nothing to do with you. If she is so stressed she is shutting everyone out, then try taking something off her plate without being asked. That may make her want to let you in and stop ignoring you.
