I think that being ignored by someone who you've done nothing to is annoying. It's frustrating really, and you begin to question everything that was ever said to you by this person. You start to wonder if everything was all a lie. A game.
At least, these are the thoughts I struggle with when this happens to me. Though it's not my "first rodeo" with thoughtless people, it's still a thorn in my side.
In my opinion, there's never really a "good" reason to ignore someone that you're friends with. I can understand it if you're dealing with someone who is harassing you or someone who's being an outright jerk to you, but not to someone who you claimed as a friend.
I'm getting bitter in my old age; truth be told, I've had quite enough of this nonsense. I'm considering allowing my bitterness to win this argument. I think that I'm going to start to treat people how they treat me, regardless of how "minor" the offense is. Especially since I've already spoken to this person about where I stand on ignoring people.
It's a "high school" approach, but acting like an adult hasn't gotten me anywhere. I'm dealing with selfish and self-absorbed people.
I'm not putting up with it anymore, though, let me make that clear. I give myself a hard enough time; I don't need other people adding to my annoyances.
It's not right. As a lovable Captain Hook would say, "It's bad form."
