I get annoyed with palpable disinterest. I have slighter and smaller objections to forthright rudeness. "I don't like you, please stop talking to me." hurts my feelings, yes, but at least I know where I stand. The dance of one word answers frustrates me and makes my blood boil. Because it puts me in a bind. As I see it, my options are:
a) civilly ask the person outright what the hell is going on. Unfortunately, this makes me sound a little paranoid and needy.
b) get mad at the person and call them out for being so cowardly rude. Unfortunately, this makes me seem somewhat psycho.
c) ignore the person, dismiss them from my mind and never contact them again. Unfortunately this means I may be unwarrantably discarding a valuable friendship.
Surely there is an better option: d)?
Another thought occurs to me which is try c) and if they never contact me again, they weren't a friend to begin with and so their loss from my life is no loss.
I must walk this thought into my brain more firmly.
