COMMUNICATION MALFUNCTION ?
Posted: 5/19/2008 8:32:05 PM
How come this guy can say lots of nasty mean things via email or text message, but can't say it in person or on the phone? Why is he too chicken to call me or answer my calls when I call him? Instead of cursing through email, I picked the phone and call, but he doesn't answer...I never heard of such of thing. He acts so bad ass texting but he can't talk in real time? What's up with this guy?

Read message #5 again. If you don't get it...read #5 again.
Repeat until you get the message.

He is a total coward... he will text or email B.S and then when I dial his number he doesn't answer? Is he scared to talk to me or something? I talked to him numerous times in person and on the phone, but now he can't talk?

he may INDEED be a coward but if you keep up what you are doing your may be considered a stalker ; an idiot; or so damn needy that it hurts to read about it.

NO. It will stop for a week or two and then out of the blue..I these mean text messages from him on my cell...i call him to scream at him to leave me alone...If someone text you and said some BS you wouldn't call them? My question was why does this****ead act too scared to answer the phone, if he hates me so much he should be able to say what he types... it's just weird.

THANX 4 YOUR REPLY :-)

It's easier to yell and scream at someone thru instant messages/emails. If he says these horrible things, why would you expect him to have the decency to tell them to your face. He doesn't care about how you view him. And personally I wouldn't answer my phone if I knew I was going to be yelled at either (that is to answer your question...now to go off on a bit of a tangent of personal opinion)

On the other hand, if I mainly have an online relationship with someone and have something important to talk about, I'm not going to wait until the next time I see them to talk to them about it. I'm also not going to pick up the phone, when I mainly talk to them on the internet anyway. It's happened before, the person got pissy with me a little bit for telling them something online, and asked why I wouldn't have called or something. Yea I could've, maybe I should've, but sometimes I get very defensive and say things that don't need to be said. I much rather have an intellegent conversation on the internet, than trying to explain something that someone doesn't want to hear over the phone and having to repeat myself 5 times. At least if I write it, they can read what I wrote and think it over before responding and vice versa.

For those with three hands...in a serious relationship, talks should always be done in person - also given in a serious relationship, there is more openness to listen to the other person without flying off the handle right away, which is possible with someone you don't totally know on the level the same as a serious relationship.

Welcome to the world of chicken sh*ts. There are a lot of people who cannot communicate worth a crap. You will see that it only gets worse. Some people fear confrontation, at least in real life, where they will be computer tough guys. Easy to say that stuff behind a computer, not so easy when you are face to face, but again, a lot of people are socially retarded and do not know how to properly communicate. Get used to it!

You might be his drunk dial. If he's an angry drunk he's txting you.
If you aren't ready to block him, just mentally ignore him. When a txt from him comes in, delete it. I'd block him because while I have plenty of txt messages available, I don't have unlimited.

You REALLY don't have to respond to everyone. When a bible thumping hippie-crit tells me I'm going to hell for eating cheese, I don't have to respond. I normally say, "I appreciate your concern for my soul. I hope this is the worst stress you have today and it only gets better all week." If they're wearing leather I ask if it was part of their inheritance from a cow.
You are allowed to roll your eyes at insults and go on with your life.

Don't waste your time trying to teach him how to be a civil person. Just like some cats can't be litter trained, some people can't be civil.

He is NOT looking for a conversation!!!! He just wants to insult you. He doesn't want to debate how much of a b1tch you may be or whatever he's telling you.


in a serious relationship, talks should always be done in person

I made this mistake as a teenager. Her cell phone normally lost signal(the days before the phone would display "call lost" instead of "call ended") so when she hung up, I kept calling back, I wasn't going to ignore her opinions just because the signal was weak. If you can, always finish the fight so you can fix the problem.

Sounds like a passive-agressive personality head case.


Ignore him.

^^^^^^^^^ Hey OP....look hun, just don't waste your time with him.

If his texts are infuriating you, just change your cell number.....some people just don't have the guts for confrontation..

Take care and good luck

What part of BLOCK HIM don't you get?

It's over... he is an a$$. Block him, change your number...move on

Each time you try to contact him or reply to email you encourage him to continue...

BLOCK HIM.

In case you haven't understood that........

BLOCK HIM

I love reading these posts where someone is condemning someone else's behavior, then they
come out and describe themselves acting just as foolish.

OP, if you don't like his behavior, stop it yourself. You're feeding the fire and want to know why it's burning so bright?!

My opinion is that you both need to do some growing up. Who cusses and swears at another
human you claim to love? In the car, with the windows rolled up, at the driver that just cut you off, maybe......

NOT at someone you love.

Time to reassess yourself and the kind of "man" you're with.

pretty simple to type something nasty, something else to say it to their face. if someone wants to see someones face when they say nasty shit, i'm sure there is a DSM classsification that would fit their disorder.

As stated in your previous thread posted merely a few days ago.....
If a woman told you that you were, " not good enough for her" how would you take it? Would it hurt your feelings?
.....I guess you did hurt his feelings. Still he should 'man' up to you and have the decency to speak one on one to you.
Don't waste anymore energy calling him as it can turn into a stalking thing.

Let it go, many people are 10 feet tall and bulletproof behind a keyboard. Why would you expend any energy pursuing someone who's baiting you to grovel to them?

Sounds like he's really a coward who hides behind technology?

I'm thinking the dummy is responding to texts.
If so stop being so juvenile and move on, if that isn't the case see msg #5. But you should have known that without a thread dedicated to common sense.

From the tone of your posts, this is what I sense: You are in attack mode, he is sensing it, and not being interested in a confrontation, he's ignoring your calls.

Take the hint, OP.

Nt sure why you'd want to talk to this guy. Ever get stung by a bee after you stepped on an underground nest? Why in the world would you go back and try to "talk" to the bees? Keep getting stung. Why do you keep going back for more?
