People don't owe you explanations of their choices. If literal silence is not enough of a hint, why keep pushing? That's on them. They are making the choice to keep going. Why is the other person responsible for that choice?

They are choosing to listen to their own neediness rather than facing what's right there. And that is a short, uninterested response.

Because not everyone is able to get those hints. I literally just said this.

If you're being a dick to everyone while showing zero interest, you do not get to whine about how you are treated. It is as simple as that. You are treated by how you behave and this behavior is shitty so it's treated shitty. No. There isn't an excuse that will allow someone to get away with this behavior fully and without crticisim, no matter how hard you try. People are responsible for that actions.

You literally repeated what I said. Yes, I agree. You are responsible for what you say. If you keep talking to someone, you are responsible for making that choice.

Ok, you didn't get the message the first time. Now you had a learning opportunity, if you choose not to use it and instead blame it on the other person, that's on you.

"Don't talk to someone that isn't taking back to you." Isn't a secret skill gifted to a chosen few. It's a learned skill, that everyone has to learn.

This isn't even "taking a hint", it's just logic. Don't eat pepper if you discover you don't like spice.

If instead of learning, you choose to blame the other person. You're using the other person as an excuse to not take responsibility or expecting something you have no entitlement to (their attention).
