The psychology behind not responding is a result of text anxiety, digital burnout or ADHD.
There are several reasons for someone not responding to you or your messages.
For example if someone is not responding or replying to your texts they may be taking time to process the message and come up with a good response.
Also one of the most common reasons someone may ignore you is because the person that is not responding to you needs space.
The person could be going through a tough time or need time to themselves.
Therefore, respecting their boundaries and giving them the space they need is essential as well.
Sometimes not responding to someone can also be about control such as when we feel anxious and overwhelmed, we might try to take control of the situation i.e.
'It's up to me when I get back to someone'.
It's a way of avoiding a feeling of being coerced to engage with someone (or something) in moments we don't wish to.”
The person not responding to you may also not feel the same way about you, or they could be involved with someone else, uncomfortable with your dynamic—such as if you're colleagues in the same workplace—have a different sexual orientation, or have some other reason they don't want to have constant contact or pursue a relationship.
If someone is ignoring you and not responding you could send something heartfelt, like “I've tried reaching out a couple of times.
Maybe you're going through something you're uncomfortable sharing with me, or maybe you're just not up for connecting with me right now.
I just want to let you know that I'm here.
And I hope we can connect in the future.”
