Why do some people insult me in certain posts I send out, but I don't respond with insults back? Because when they insult me, it's not just about expressing an opinion; they're seeking a response. Emotions and attention are the most precious things for everyone. When they insult me, actually, they're also in a bad mood, and they've wasted their attention on something that doesn't contribute to their personal growth. Sometimes, if you don't respond, they get very angry. When they realize you haven't even looked at their comments, they become even more upset. Because I disrupt the chain of their emotional interaction.
