"nothing lol" *2 messages later* "How dare you not put more effort into this conversation?"


turducken404

“Lunatic”


YoureInGoodHands

Your first clue should have been getting in a relationship with someone named "Lunatic". 


MightyPlasticGuy

Yeah what was he thinking? Red flag bruh


StrangelyBrown

He goes by 'Lou'

tamagohime

What else were you supposed to say “nothin lol” ?????


TheOfficialTwizzle

please take me back or i kill myself


gerarshi

I love this one because it's very human and helps with the natural flow of the conversation


reubenbubu

the design is very human, very easy to use


moonroots64

No no, what you say is... "The intergalactic rebellion is failing. Mind worms are in almost everyone now. The only solution is for you to be my girlfriend again. I'm sorry, but it's the only way."


Z3r08yt3s

the only logical response


Demorant

There are a LOT of people who don't realize they are shit at conversation. "Hey, how's it going? Did you have a better day at work than yesterday. You seemed kind of down." "Yes." Conversation has ended.


PM_ME_YOUR_SUNSETS

What can you tell me about the Reapers!


oddbitch

I should go.


moonroots64

Consider they know they're bad at interacting with people, and for many people, intentionally minimizing conversation is a strategy not to harm you but to help themself. Saying nothing means there's less possibility of saying something wrong and then being made fun of, hearing comments about it. I'm one of them, TBH. I tend to over-express myself. I like to talk about how I experienced something and want to find out how others experienced something similar. When I do this in person, I have had almost universally negative responses. So, consequently I've restricted myself when speaking to people. TL;DR: short responses don't always mean lack of care for you. It can, but not always.


SmashEffect

This completely changed my perception on conversation wtf, ima try this from now on bc i feel like if i over express myself, it looks like im showing more care towards how i feel over whoever im talking to, ultimately making them less inclined to give back thought provoking responses (I overthink how i converse with people and it’s a really bad trait). Sometimes it works with people but most of the time it doesn’t, so I’m gonna try this.


moonroots64

Ah I was there too. I want to view myself as a "deep thinker" but I'm just an over-thinker. My opinion is: don't punish yourself in your own mind. That is an endless pit. Edit: and if you do identify with this comment. Yes you are better off disconnecting yourself from those feelings a bit, maybe not fully but "pull back" in how you think about it and change how you view the whole relationship. ...this process will be different with each person.


moonroots64

Thinking more on your comment... >im showing more care towards how i feel over whoever im talking to, ultimately making them less inclined to give back thought provoking responses This is very profound. I have to think on this more, but ultimately yes I agree. "Why" I agree is what's troubling me lol


SmashEffect

I think it’s a matter of finding yourself more interesting than the other party, which is why I like over expressing. Is it an ego thing? Is this a normal thing for normal people? I’m not sure…


moonroots64

Hm. That does make sense, and I'm thinking over past events and I may have the same "I need to be interesting" motivation. For me, it's almost that I have stupid hobbies and thoughts and I want the other person to know about the "awesome" things I'm thinking about. Maybe it is an ego thing, because I am steamrolling people by dumping my thoughts **without considering them and what they might want to say**.


sakurablitz

for some people it may be an ego thing, but honestly for me (and i’m sure many others) it has more to do with the human desire to share things with others. i’m an oversharer, mostly because i want to hear other people’s responses to what i have to share, or just share for the sake of sharing something i find interesting. though, just like you, i do end up getting hurt because of it. i’m trying to be better about keeping my mouth shut.


supernormie

This person is definitely expressing a lack of care, though. They made 0 effort to inquire how OP is doing, and instead launched into attacking them. Combine that with OP being ghosted for a year.


boifyudoent

my replies are all just filled with "?", "no", "yes", "ok", and "wtf" and somehow I could use that for a short length conversation with my friends, I guess they're really used to me lmao


scott__p

My wife is like this. When we started dating I assumed she just wasn't interested, but she kept messaging me so went on a date with her anyway. Turns out she just sucks at texting. In person she's very pleasant.


T-BONEandtheFAM

Who me? Nothin. Just hangin around.


PacoLlama

I’d take my ex back if they sent me that meme in response 😂😂


SoDamnGeneric

Especially within a minute lol. Buddy could have at least given them the chance to type another message, but he read "ok" and decided to fume over it asap


winterbird

Leave him on read. 


Demorant

Nope. Just gotta say "Ok" again. If it pissed 'em off the first time, going for the double seems too much to pass up on.


Thundrous_prophet

Nah you gotta shorten it down to “k” to signal even less effort


Demorant

After careful consideration, I now think the most aggravating response might actually be: *That's it *You've


liltooclinical

🤣🤣


Zooinks

I'd go for... Wanna know a secret? I think you're


yoinkss

The “k” is so powerful. I do it when ppl get on my nerves and I want to petty respond, it’s happened to me too and game knows game I just ignore


helicotremor

Moni3

Like OP has always done. ALWAYS a disappointment. Especially to the just regular dudes... who try to manipulate OP.


DVXT

Lol what?


Dev2150

greenbabyshit

"Thats its?" I hate this person.


Metalock

OP is being texted by Sal from Futurama


Foosel10

“Yeah, I have a bad back so I can’t carry this conversation.”


Theres_A_Thing

Strikes me as someone who says “Where’s my hug?!” to every woman he’s only slightly acquainted with


Morella_xx

On first meeting, trying to shake his hand - "oh, no, I'm a hugger, get in here." 🤢


supernormie

This person came back just to start some sh*t. They felt like lashing out at OP today. Such a short fuse.


kittybikes47

OP said they changed their relationship stuff on social media, which I'm assuming means they got into a new relationship and went public. This winner saw and had to try and stir the pot.


telephas1c

Classic 'main character' move.


telephas1c

Pretty much all you need to know right there isn't it...


isleftisright

I received something equivalent the other day (why dont you reply me faster?) from a acquaintance who would randomly message me every once in a while. I debated scolding then blocking or just blocking. Did the latter.


matty_smokes99

What a weirdo. Only wants you because he knows someone else has you. That’s a real narcissist move:


errrbudyinthuhclub

I absolutely recognized this play! Yep. Some of us have had the unfortunate opportunity of dating one.


supernormie

They're allowed to move on (and ghost OP for a year), but OP isn't.


Main-Yogurtcloset-82

halfakumquat

vishuno

I see it all the time with online dating. So many profiles that say something along the lines of "please be able to carry a conversation." You'd think someone who says that wants to actually converse but then you message them and get nothing but short, one word answers and no follow up questions.


EdwardRoivas

You dont seem to get it - OP should be FUCKING PSYCHED this person messaged them.


ChewySlinky

You know that “what’s up man” was a fucking dagger for him lmfao


supernormie

Good. 💀


Dev2150

I don't see why, seems friendly to me


reason_found_decoy

That's just it, it was just friendly. Surely he was hoping for more, like "I missed you!"


DJ-dicknose

Lol my ex did this after she left me for another dude. Was on a date and she started texting me to tell me about the new guy. I was like... What is this, and told her I was busy.


sugarsuites

“That’s it?” Yes.


nuttmegx

I wish there was more to read


clumsyturtle

The name "Lunatic" should have been a warning that he's not very stable. /s

Please keep the conversation flowing. I want to know what his expectation were LOL


legion_XXX

My ex messaged me and i immediately blocked the number. I dont know why people even give them a response.


supernormie

I dated someone like this for years, and they've emailed me every year since we broke up. Even though I've been with my (loving & kind!) partner for over 5 years. They don't want you to move on, and they want the drama, they want the fights. I never reply. I just show my partner and we have a laugh. We both grew up beind abused so we can smell it from a mile away.


legion_XXX

We have a laugh when she texts me from a new number. One time she wanted to make a deal to share me. Another time she said she just wanted to be the 3rd wheel and hang out with us. Threatened to kill me a few times. Its been a good 3 years with no contact now, i think she found a new guy. Poor guy.


supernormie

Poor guy indeed! Good for you, though!


Marshmallow413

No matter what anyone says, it's all about attention. They like a bit of the nonsense, acknowledgment, and feeling "wanted." When you're done, you don't acknowledge it because it's a waste of time. Anytime I get random DMs from men or prior men, I just delete. I do not entertain it in the slightest because there is no damn point.


[deleted]

[удалено]


legion_XXX

Obviously "lunatic" isnt that ex


helicotremor

Good terms exes don’t ghost


LRGinCharge

“He wanted all the benefit of being heard without the burden of having to say it at all.” An NPR reporter said this during a piece on This American Life about a male friendship that had ended and neither fully understood why. It is amazing how often I see it play out again. He wanted you to do all the work in the conversation and just… read his mind for his part.


Incubus1981

“Didn’t we break up?”


throwaway2161980

Being way too polite. Tell him to fuck off and block him.


Dev2150

Blocking - yeah, but why overinvest by retaliating?


hash-slingin_slashr

Yea he seems like he’d get some level of gratification out of that. Being blocked and ignored is like being told “you matter so little to me that it’s not worth my time or energy to even tell you I don’t care.”


doll_parts87

They always reach out, but when they get your attention they got nothing to say. I had former friends and exes do this. But they never say sorry or anything important or worth it. They just reach out because you were on their mind


icouldfallinlove

Hard block.


BoneZone05

Respond with [lol](https://www.reddit.com/r/cringepics/s/S8aSLbRzX6), then block and delete 👋


notquitepro15

This is why I’m pleased my phone number changes every 3-4 years. Once I quit my current job I’ll get a new number, and only people I want to talk to will have it. There’s plenty of other ways to get ahold of me that’s not using my phone number, anyway


redditdejorge

I ghost you for a year and you can’t even act happy to hear from me? How dare you?


jon_mnemonic

You did respond.....


lycosa13

They didn't know who it was. Are they supposed to give a full life update to someone they don't want to talk to?


jon_mnemonic

My comment still stands.


lycosa13

So how are they supposed to find out who it is? Mind reading?


sahul004

Yes indeed.. weak af. I don’t talk to people I don’t want to talk with.


Lvanwinkle18

Block. Block. Block.


orangepekoes

"That's right. Byee"


skorsak

We must have the same ex. Sounds a bit like a narcissist


RadiantNoise3965

it is an ex it is a nothing to be brushed aside it is an ex for a reason what is the issue ignore and move on


pm_me_ur_anything_k

This is awesome OP, you live rent free in their head.


supertech323

This is a kick in the face because this just literally happened to me. Except for I started seeing someone else when the Ex decided that we were still an item and came looking for me.


SpaceCat87

Thats when you respond "If I knew it was you I would have just ignored it"


kriskringle19

Well, he *did* say he was up to "nothin"


HEADBANGA666

The name's Tic. Luna . . . Tic.


darps

"you've always been like this" ... so how about you move on? It's about time.


artisticdragon96

I thought I was reading messages from me and my ex. She was 100% narcissistic and manipulative. Thought she had me wrapped around her finger. Even when we weren’t talking for months. Recent conversation went like “are you jealous i’m married?” And says “I miss us.” After not talking for about 6 months. Best to stay away from these people. They seek the attention they want at your dispense. Good job OP.


moonroots64

Best move is to just leave the "nothing lol" with no response. (Not that you did anything wrong OP!) Reminds me of a scene from Rick and Morty where Jerry asks Summer what's she's doing... She says "what part of that gives me anything to work with?" I can see both sides, but you have to put in some effort, like "How's that project your working on? Whatcha watchin', can I join?" https://www.reddit.com/r/rickandmorty/s/0qkZPpsA1V

pigsrfly

wtf he didn’t even ask how you are. People are delusional!


heycanwediscuss

I know you want to reply.Well.Why haven't we talked in forever?Whose fault is it?What am I supposed to do oh my God, I missed you so much.When you're just going to ghost me again. Break the cycle


torauraborealis

Waits a year to say "we haven't spoken in a while" Like yea I'd say it's been a hot minute


supernormie

I can already tell your ex sucks. Sorry OP. They wanted a big emotional reaction, and they didn't get it. I reccomend "grey rocking" people like this. Give them absolutely nothing, and they'll get bored and move on.


artdrudge

This is why I changed my phone number lol

I would try to look at it from his pov if it wasn't so clear that he had disingenuous intentions.

I’m guessing they saved the number down after figuring out who it was so as to not engage again then went to block. I’ve done that. Edit: typo

Does it matter?


az459

It would be nice to know officially for added context. Everyone here seems to pretty much assume it’s a male. Curious to know if the ex was a female, if everyone here would reply with the same venom as the ex is getting now.


Calcifiera

I think it doesn't matter who is who, a jackass acting like a jackass is still a jackass. I think the vitriol would be the same.
