Hi,

PRECLAIMER: I know you guys do not like social media. However I use instagram for business purposes as well and have 5 digit followers, which seems to help for business and personal stuff. I do not post regular, I just post to my instagram story whenever I go to the gym or do stuff, that's about it.

I have just a quick question regarding going no contact with your plates for a while.

Both Social Media and instant messaging display nowadays whether you have opened an message / story or not. Therefore when it comes to ignoring / going no contact with plates there are 2 ways to do it on social media / instant messaging:

  1. You read their messages. You watch their stories. But you do not react to it. That way she sees that you saw her stuff, but did not react to it. Hamster -> He ignores me. But it is still kind of giving her attention? And it may seem a little butthurt?

  2. You do not open her messages. You do not open the stories she posts on Instagram. That way she may wonder what is going on and if you are alright. She does not receive any attention at all and will MAYBE try to get your attention back. Meanwhile you are still being active on social media, posting your gym sessions and stuff, so she knows you are alive but just not paying her any attention. Hamster -> He seems to not care about me / is busy

I know this may seem weird to ask but in my opinion there is a big difference between the 2 and how it is received by the plate.

Would love your input on this.
