There’s no denying the snub, but don’t dignify it with a response or by making a scene. The more polite and composed you are, the tackier that person looks.
You click with a new clique. It’s been a while since you hung out with like-minded individuals who actually understand the references you make.
You resent the way a parent withholds approval. Stop trying to win this person over because it’s a negative attention thing.
You may have hit a raw nerve without meaning to. Don’t run after this person to see what’s wrong. Let them seek you out.
Don’t get impatient with the other person’s wavering. They need to approach things in their own way and exasperated sighs won’t make it go quicker.
It’s one thing to make a difficult judgment call, quite another when there’s money on the line. But like anything else, all you can do is trust your instincts.
