The most decent rejection is called "no reply".
In complex social networks, we will always encounter some information that we do not want to respond to, and how to deal with this information has become a difficult problem for everyone. The most decent rejection for adults is called "not replying".
The Art of Rejection.
Replying is a kind of courtesy, but also a kind of respect. But when you're faced with something that makes you uncomfortable, uninterested, or unable to respond, rejection is also a necessity. Rejection is not the same as indifference, but respect for oneself, respect for others, and more respect for facts.
Not replying is an attitude.
In life, we will always encounter some unreasonable demands, some unreasonable people. If you respond, they're likely to be even more aggressive. At this time, not replying is the best rejection.
Not replying, is also a protection.
In the online world, we will always encounter some malicious attacks, some false information. If you don't respond, you can get into endless arguments and even more trouble. At this time, not replying is the best self-protection.
Not replying is a kind of wisdom.
Not replying is not indifference, but a kind of wisdom. It keeps us from getting bogged down in meaningless arguments and gives us more time and energy to focus on what really matters.
Recently, my friend Xiao Li, he and his girlfriend Xiao Ling had an argument over some trivial matters, and both of them were very emotional. Xiao Li was angry and directly blocked Xiao Ling, and Xiao Ling also chose to delete Xiao Li's ***
After calming down, Xiao Li realized that he should apologize for his impulsiveness, so he decided to take the initiative to contact Xiao Ling. But Xiaoling didn't reply to him. Xiao Li understands that this is Xiao Ling's rejection of him, and she needs some time to digest her emotions. Xiao Li respected Xiao Ling's choice, and he no longer took the initiative to contact her, but gave each other some time and space. In the end, Xiao Ling took the initiative to contact Xiao Li, and both of them realized their mistakes and started their relationship again.
Will everyone choose to delete and block each other after a quarrel?
Do you think this "no reply" approach can solve the relationship problem?Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section.
Overall, not replying is one of the most decent ways for adults to say no, and it allows you to protect yourself and uphold your values while maintaining respect. Let's work together to respect ourselves, others, and facts in a way that doesn't reply.
