You ever meet somebody who just loves conflict and who is always coming at you with a disagreement? After a while that shit can get tiresome. Try ignoring them and see their reaction. Why do you think when you ignore some people they get sooo mad that they want to fuck you up? When you ignore some body, does it basically say you are not even worth my time and energy without even saying it?

They don’t know what you are thinking which makes you far more dangerous to them. When you are blabbing out of at the mouth saying any and everything that comes to your mind, you are letting that person know everything you are thinking and they can now predict everything that you will do and also know everything you are capable of doing.

Even past high school level a lot of people cannot grasp this concept. They can’t understand or comprehend it, that is why people always fall into that same trap.

On the other hand silence can hurt the hell out of someone. You when you are being silent doesn’t mean that you don’t care. Maybe you cut off communication because you just can’t agree and you don’t want to argue about which can be mistaken for being emotionally unavailable. Mere silence doesn’t constitute anger. Sometimes people think you are being silent to hurt them, but you are actually doing it to protect them from what you really want to say to them for you know they can’t handle the truth.

Some people might mistake it for being weak. Do you think it takes a strong person to be able to completely abandon their emotions or tackle the issue head-on?
 
depends on the situation but alot of times its for the best cause its gives atleast one party time to cool off.
 
"Silence is Golden"


True statement in so many ways.....

It is those, who can't maintain in the silence, (IMO) usually have issues.

Sometimes you have to step down to a mofos level and verbally check'em though. :yes:



I think people who have been on the internet for a couple of years or those of us who spend the majority of our time in front of computers understand this better than some others...

Despite what statistics would show, I'm a educated Black man who has never been arrested or in Jail. I take pride in all that. But sometimes I feel like jail is calling me. The thing I fear most is that someone will say the wrong thing to me at the wrong time and I'll snap, do them harm, and end up going to jail behind it. That's why I ignore people that I know I don't like. Sure, they'll talk about you, behind your back of course, for a minute. But fuck it, they can run their mouths all they want. If you ignore them long enough they'll eventually lose interest in you and basically go away. That's why I say ignoring people you don't like is the best thing to do.
 
I wish it was easy way to ignore that shitty mouth niggas sig above me.

so u follow me around and make replies about it huh :lol:
what,u search for my name and then hope to post right UNDER me
thats right keep tellin on yourself faggot everyone knows u love being under men
 
It depends.

At my old job some folks I used to chill and clown with started taking shit too far on personal level shit.

Clowning is one thing, but getting personal is another.

I started keeping my distance, and interaction to the minimal. They got the message quick.

Either you address the issue, or stay away by ignoring them.
 
I do that now.I'm a scorpio by nature so i can cut off people easy. The woman take that shit to the heart real hard, there's about 5 woman in the workplace i'm at that i don't say shit to anymore and they can't take it.:D To much drama and i can't stand gossip chicks or fakeness. Funny there's a female co worker that i'm cool with, who told me that when she worked with me the day after 3 of the females were giving the evil stare just cause she was talking with me.:smh: Damn those bitches are hating hard:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Silence or better yet indifference is very powerful because it robs that person control of the situation. You see, people who agitate you intentionally have a specific purpose for doing so. If it's your significant other it is usually because they want attention. If it is a friend/colleague it is usually because they are trying to get a rise out of you. When you respond in the manner that they want they win and they in effect control you. This will cause you to become their go-to person when they look to play their silly games. BUT when you use indifference or silence you strip them of all power. They don't get the attention or reaction they wanted so they will try even harder to get that desired reaction/attention or get so frustrated that they want to fight. So to summarize, when you use indifference you put the ball in your court and control any interactions with said person.
 
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much to read, but who is that in those photos?? Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang:eek:

Someone told me a long time ago:

"The opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference. Hate takes passion but to be indifferent, to not care, that's the opposite of love."

I know we're not talking about love but it still stands. Iggin a person's destroys their passion for aggravating/arguing/annoying you.

I had a BFF who was notorious for this shit! Always had something to say or comment on, even if she didn't know shit about it. And she was NEVER wrong, man (LOL)!

One day, though, she took it to me & the GF. I igg the living shit out of her & it drove her crazy! Igg them hating ass females, the only thing they really want is attention & a doormat to bring they drama & other shit to...real talk!

Depends on the person, but me personally, I usually cut ppl off that like confrontation and get their kicks out of trying to get to me. Like some of the other posters said, when ppl say or do certain things and you feed into it, you basically gave them the satisfaction they were looking for. Reminds me of this chick that was feeling me at this old job, all the dudes were thirsty for her, and I was the only one that never gave her attention, which later grew into her attraction towards me. I try not to mess wit chicks I work with though, because my money is more important, so she became extra desperate for my attention, and started doing anything to get it. She was very attractive, I may have bent my rules and gave her the time of day, but she was so immature about the whole shit.



sir i am a proud memeber of the eat that ass (women only) association,the no homo toss that salad confederation,and the rim job coalition. again no homo :lol:

:lol:We all gotta be proud of something:lol::lol::lol:

I'll ignore people if I think that even a negative response would just encourage their behavior. I'd call that great internet etiquette. Who can argue with silence. I'm only engaging when I'm in the mood, that's how i stay in control:)
 
It depends on the situation.

If it's something of practical importance I'll address it, but petty shit ain't even a blip on my radar.

People that stay with petty shit gets treated with complete indifference and that eats people up wayyyy more than ignoring them.
 
Sometimes its good to ignore the person. Save your energy for more important things; but if you can retaliate efficiently...then go in for the kill!

Im a humble quite guy. I dont fuck with anyone & I respect most. I also ignore a lot of BS...mainly the verbal stuff.....but I neva forget. Even if the drama has been settled...I neva forget. Im 28 yrs old right now and I can vividly remember BS that happened to me when i was a child. Most of it was petty, nothing traumatic, but i stil remember.

I love revenge. Most Scorpios do. I actually have a tattoo dedicated to it that i keep hidden sometimes. I remember experiences and seek revenge...but theres absolutely no stress or BS emotions attached to it. Patience is a virtue in my life. I honestly get a thrill out of seeing people reap what they sow...especially if the shit that they put out was evil. Ive done some grimy shit to people that fucked over me.

BTW....some of my "revengeful tactics" involved me keeping my mouth shut. I actually find that fucking with people mentally more enjoyable than fucking them up physically.

I used to think that ignoring people was the best way to go about things, but I was taught a lesson recently. I took what I would call a "silly tax loss" from this female. We work for the same company. I argued with her via text for about 2 days back in April over paying me, but then I just called it quits and cut my loss. I've never spoke to this woman again, no calls no text nothing. last weekend I go to this club and she's standing out side, I walked right by her I didn't say a word at all to her. I chilled at the club, and checked out what I wanted to check out then I left and hit another spot.Monday morning comes, and I'm at work doing my thing, then our Loss Prevention guy calls me and asks me to some down stairs. I'm thinking maybe I dropped my work badge some place etc..etc. I get down there the cops are there, and they say the were called by this chick because she felt threatened by me. The cop are pissed because they know it's some BS. But know I'm feeling like I need to not igg this chick, and I need to take some kind of action. So I think now a days a lot of folks are to stupid to understand the blessing of being ignored, and you have to address them.

Yes, it seems like you have mastered that, but do you really think that there are no emotions attached to revenge?

That is powerful if she really felt threatened, maybe she did because like I said, "when you are silent, they don't know what you are thinking and what you are capable of"
