They leave you hanging by hooking you with a small text, with little to no content or interest.
For example, they might send a text early in the morning at 9 a.m. saying “Good morning.” But then, when you respond instantly, they leave you hanging. It’s like they are pressing a button in you—eliciting a reaction—seeing that you are still there, and then running away. They take a kind of sadistic pleasure from seeing you suffer, from you wanting to keep the conversation going.
This mind game of back and forth—push and pull—drives a person crazy because you don’t know how to respond to this behavior. You don’t know where you stand. You don’t know what your status is in the relationship. You don’t know what’s happening because it’s confusing.
They ignore you, and if you ignore back then they come in and drop that little text: “Hi.” “Hello.” “Good morning.” Whatever. You respond, and you think maybe they’ve realized something—then they drop you like a hot potato. And it’s the same pattern again.
It keeps happening over and over and over again until you feel like you have turned into a shell of yourself.
