Why seen-zone someone?
I don't understand why a lot of people likes to do this. To be honest, it happened to me numerous times before. As I was scrolling down my facebook news update, I saw that a lot of my friends got seen zoned. And that bothered me a lot.
As a girl who got seen zoned a lot, I know just how hurtful it can be. Especially if the one who's done that is the love of your life, your crush, or a trusted friend. It makes you lose your self-esteem and confidence. It makes you wonder if you're just that boring that he or she doesn't even bother to reply anymore. It makes you realize that you're probably not worth their time.
And I'm left wondering why a lot of people is just so fond of doing it. I can understand if the person is annoying the hell out of them. That would be a good reason to 'seen' someone. But to do that to someone who just wanted to talk? It's rude.
Does it make them feel more superior? The act of ignoring someone who had something decent to say? Do they feel good and powerful when they ignore someone who probably wanted to talk to them? If they were busy they can just say it. But to ignore? That's like saying that he or she isn't even worth their time to reply to - that even a number of measly words is hard to send.
"I'm busy." or "I can't talk right now." would suffice. But to send this: ✔ Seen --:-- am/pm?
It hurts. It hurts more than it should. It hurts because you realize that you're probably not worth the effort. It hurts because there you were, wanting to talk to them, and they didn't even want to talk to you. It hurts because you try not to act like you care the next time you meet in person. You try not to care because even if he or she just seen zoned you, you still like him or her.
And it's just so damn hard.
Is it so hard to give a decent response?
Is it so hard to lose a minute of your life so someone else wouldn't feel like hell?
Is it so hard to think of others?
Is it so hard to care?
Probably yes, seeing as how a lot of people do it. And you know what? When you lose the patience to talk to them – when you lose the energy to put up with their bull and decide that they are the ones who aren't worth the time, it's not you who lost.
It's them.
