No Response

Added 2023-06-15 15:16:09 +0000 UTC

I’ve heard it said many times that no response IS a response. Right now, my lack of response is the very best way to handle people who are refusing to hear me and respect my boundaries. This problem has been popping up a lot with fellow creators on TikTok who I would consider friends on a parasocial level. I’m learning more and more to stick up for myself and assert my boundaries in my comment sections and DMs, and sometimes that means ignoring people who are trying to get my attention in negative ways. This is hard enough when it’s random trolls I don’t know at all; but the real test is when it’s people who I thought of as friends.

Often, no response is the very best response I can give.
