6 Things To Do When Someone Is Ignoring Texts On Purpose

Who likes being ghosted via text message? Trust us, we can honestly say no one.

Now, if you’re wondering how to deal with it, you probably wouldn’t handle it very well. You might even be a mess. But, if you know how to deal with this situation, you’ll be able to come out of it as a better person.

# Don’t text them right now

We know you want to get to the bottom of things and find out what’s going on, but for now, give them space. When we’re anxious about losing someone, we flood them with attention in hopes of getting them back but it’s not going to work.

If anything, it makes you look desperate and clingy. Then, they freak out even more. Instead, take a step back and play it cool.

# Send a text after a couple of days

If they haven’t texted you in a couple of days, you can send them a text.

But wait a couple of days, give them space. When you text them, see what they’re up to and try to feel out their replies. Are their answers short? Engaging? See how they’re feeling about you.

# Don’t attack them

With words, that is. When someone’s ignoring texts on purpose, don’t send them angry text messages, it’s not worth it. If you really want to know how they’re feeling, then ask them. But, it’s best if you just move on.

If someone doesn’t want to talk to you, why push it? If they could ignore your texts on purpose, would they really take the time to type out several paragraphs of text and explain themselves?

Leave them, there are other people that would love to talk to you and not treat you like shit in the process.

# Examine your own actions

We can’t tell you that you did nothing wrong, because we actually have no idea what you did. This is when you need to be upfront with yourself and honest with your actions. Did you text them too much? Were you pushy?

If you’re not sure, ask a close friend for their honest opinion. They’ll let you know, and that way, you can change the way you communicate via text.

# Don’t sit and wait for them

Odds are, this isn’t going to work out with them. If they’re ignoring texts on purpose, there’s a reason why and it’s not in your favor. What you need to do is move on.

Don’t wait for them to write to you because they won’t or at least not now. So, go and live your life, please.

# Don’t make this public

You may be upset, but don’t make a Facebook post about it. People don’t like drama, and if this is a crush, well, you’ll kill any chance of ever being with them if you do this.
