How do you feel when somebody does not reply to your e-mail?

Ok, the recipient may be busy or maybe s/he just forgot, but that's beside the point. How do you feel when you send an e-mail to a friend or acquaintance and you don't hear back? Does it not affect you? Do you write that person off as no longer a friend? Do you wonder what happened to him/her? Or do you think that maybe s/he is just busy. We really don't know what's going on in each other's lives. So what do you all think?

How do you feel when somebody does not reply to your e-mail?
Sometimes I get annoyed, sometimes not. I know people can get very busy and do not check their email every day. If I hear from that person within a certain amount of time, then I let it slide.
Reply:I don't have time to wait around for someone to answer my emails. I would not write them off either. They'll get around to it sooner or later or maybe not. Maybe their computer is broke down?! who really knows? Right?
Reply:One email? Try again.


If not scratch them off your email address book. Say "Fine ! Be that way."
Reply:Depends on who it is. I e-mailed my aunt(who recently divorced from my uncle[he was blood related, she's from marriage). But we were close. She won't e-mail me back. I have e-mailed her many times and it frustrates me. But if its someone you know loves you, I'm not as upset.
Reply:i feel annoyed and frustrated
Reply:I may get annoyed, but fig they must be pretty busy. If i don't hear back within a few days, i might follow up with a phone call to make sure everything is ok cause my friends and family usually do reply.
Reply:I am not so insecure. I send emails all the time and don't get a reply. But I know the person loves me anyway. I don't always reply to emails because I go offline for weeks at a time. I am too adventerous to sit at a computer for long.
Reply:It depends on who it is, if you know they are a busy person than try to accept it, but maybe only send them forwards or short hi's. That way you won't be disapointed if they don't reply. I do find it kind of frustrating when you make the effort to keep in touch and they don't reciprocate the favor. Ask them in an email if they are too busy for mail, that'll smarten them up if they care and if not them forget them!! Otherwise you might have to call them on the phone and ask what's up!!
Reply:i would be P off expecially if i put alot in the email
Reply:Frankly, I dont give a damn. If they dont respond obviously I wasnt that important to them to begin with so I just forget about it and move on. There are many people who are interested and more than willingly respond back to my emails. So to hell with them.
Reply:I feel ignored. I get worried if it is one of my BFs. I think something happened to him/her when I don't get a reply. No I do not stop being their friend. I still like them, I just wouldn't email them again. That is what I think.
Reply:Well, I must say that I am guilty of this very thing you are talking about. What really happens though, and this is true, it has happened actually many times before: I open up my e mail account, and I have about eight to ten messages. I go through each one, reading them all through. Then, when I am done reading them, I start to answer. Something comes up, or I have to do something else, go somewhere, whatever. I leave my computer on, with the e mail screen still pulled up, meaning to finish when I get back from doing what I will be doing. After I get back from my thing that came up, usually, I finish what I started before I left. But, unfortunately, sometimes I forget. Or, I see that I left my computer on, curse out loud about my electric bill and my forgetfulness, and turn the computer off without finishing.





Anyway, my point is, maybe the recipient just got caught up and forgot. Or, if you wrote a really long message, one that required some thought and reasoning in order to reply in a rightly way, maybe your person forgot about your message while he or she was thinking about it.





My advice is to wait a few days, and if no response, e mail your person again with a reminder and/or a question as to whether or not he or she read your message in the first place.





I am a really forgetful individual. I know how it is.
Reply:I got an ill deserved reputation and I wasn't able to tell my side of the story. Too bad for their sake. Maybe they don't deserve me as an acquaintance. I only have time for so much anyway. You can't do everything and have everything. Either they are anal retentive and have their spam blocker set so sensitive that they didn't get my email or they just aren't worth the bother. I see no reason to be bothered by it, and neither should you..
Reply:it is the same as when they dont reply to a letter.


I emailed my friend who lives in another state. I emailed her two months ago. She never responded and I sent her another one this week for easter.


THe ***** never responded.
Reply:Depends on the E-mail you receive. If it is a silly joke that isn't all that good I don't reply. It needs to be important before I will respond.
Reply:some people dont check e-mail everyday. Shees.
