Suppose a very close person starts avoiding your calls continuously. You have no other option to connect with that person and even after your repeated attempt to connect with him/her, he or she constantly ignores you. This is like an insult then what will you do?

First of all, I will try to know the reason for not responding my calls. I will not jump to conclusions without knowing the real reason for not responding my calls. I will not conclude also that this is  his intention of insulting me. It's only after knowing the reason i will treat if  it is as an insult or otherwise. You said there are no other options left to contact the person. In that case i prefer to wait for some more time as he is my close person.

 

Yes, any sensible person will do so, but, how long? This is an era of cell phone so there is no question of not knowing about the missed calls. Even message has been sent over the phone and then too there is no reply, so,  what is to be done? This seems quite humiliating especially for no fault.  

Please don't spoil your mind with unknown suspicions which may prove baseless. Better give some time for your close friend. Time solves every problem.

 

I am a very positive person so when some negative thought crops up I myself negate it with my positive justification. But, the fact is life is not that sweet. It always give some cruel experience which I hate to have. It's true, time solves many problem and I believe in it but sometimes time gets dragged for too long. The worst part is when you fail to understand the reason of someone's odd behaviour, it actually pains. 

So true. Being positive is a god trait. But as you said Life is not a smooth ground. It consists of ups and downs. At times conditions vex you in such a way that they cause disgust and despair. Like the one you are facing now.  exactly at this juncture, anyone has with positive attitude has to maintain cool. I know its easier said than done. But there are no options left. I sincerely hope you should brave them instead of running away from adversities.

Wait. Don't lose hope. I'm sure with your positive attitude things settle down sooner or later.

 

I too would give it some time. In fact I do have a few friends who have simply got into a shell and try to avoid the friend circle. It has nothing to do with us. Most of the time , those people are going through troubled times which they do not wish to share with others even if they are close because the closer ones get to know about all the issues more quickly. I generally let them be and do not judge and definitely do not take it as an insult unless they have vocally humiliated me. Lots of people are fighting demons unknown to the rest of the world.

Exactly. People may have different reasons for getting themselves in a silent module. I myself , while dealing with a serious job, I go into a silent mode. People who know about my ways do not take my silence as an insult.

 

If some one is not responding to call, it is so simple that he does notr wish to communicate. This hardly matters unless you want something from him. Just ugnore and don't send him any message.

That's better. I too will not attempt to interfere and prefer to wait so that after some time I may know the reason for my friend's silence.

 

Some people isolate themselves from family and close friends when they are emotionally unfit. They dont want to discuss and disclose their feelings. May be the person you are trying to approach is facing that problem! 

Yes. One should first attempt to know why that   in question is not responding to someones' calls. If there is no possibility of reaching him. one should wait. This certainly pays and the misunderstandings will be cleared. In my view, waiting with a positive attitude will certainly pay.

 

Above all, do not take that as an insult, time will sort out the misunderstanding. Misinformation and misunderstanding can ruin any relationship!

It's a natural phenomenon. Any upset causes ripples of negative thing. At this juncture, humans first think in a negative way. Here the need is to  have a grip on the situation of emotional turbulence. Positive approach  does the needful.

 

I will not call anyone third time unless he calls me back. I do not want to force myself on anyone who does not have respect for my calls, however important the person is.

Naturally.. If the person is really important in one' life, however busy or occupied otherwise he might have responded or he might have said that he is busy. But when this doesn't happen, there is no use of running after him and weeping.

 

Ahaha.. what you wanted to express, expressed in a humorous manner. But it's real. But many think no response as an insult.

 

Read each and everyone's point of view and I do accept your opinion. Still, I have to say that it is fine to remain positive but a person is bound to think that why did it happen. No response is also a response, is a great answer by @vijay and it signals that the other side is not keen to continue the relationship. It hurts because when one is not at fault but is subjected to misbehaviour is undoubtedly an insult. I must appreciate the answers of @suni51 and @Gulshan Kumar Ajmani who have indicated that self respect is of utmost importance. I too believe in this but still, I tried to contact them because I don't want to harbour any ill feeling. From today onwards self respect will be of prime importance in this case and nothing else.

Glad you gained a solution from the honorable members of this forum. Get rid of the burdens and lead a Happy life.

 

@rambabu I am absolutely fine. My life does not revolve around them and I have far more important things to do in life. As we know that friends do have a place in life so it bothered me a bit. You see, with time it will die but yes, the prick of insult or you say disrespect will certainly be there because I am a human being and not an Almighty.
