Do you think it's normal not to read it back? Which is worse, reading or not reading?

There are many reasons why reading is more uncomfortable than not reading. This feeling usually comes from emotional and psychological factors in social communication. Here are some possible reasons:

1. Uncertainty and anxiety: When you send a message and see the other party read it, but the other party doesn't reply, you may feel uncertain. You don't know why the other person is silent. This uncertainty may cause anxiety. You may start to worry about what you said wrong, or whether the other person is not interested in you.

2. The gap between expectation and reality: You may expect the other party to reply immediately or within a reasonable time, but when this expectation is not realized, you may feel disappointed and depressed. This gap between expectation and reality will lead to emotional discomfort.

3. Self-esteem and self-worth: When your news is read but you don't reply, you may suspect that your self-esteem and self-worth have been challenged. You may start to question whether you are important enough and attractive enough, because the other person seems unwilling to communicate with you.

4. Communication problems: failure to read back may reflect communication problems between the two parties. The other party may not know how to reply to your message, or there may be other reasons why they choose not to reply. This kind of communication problem may aggravate your anxiety.

5. Social pressure: Social pressure may make you more anxious about not going back to school. You may feel the need to maintain a perfect image on social media, so you will be particularly sensitive to any news that is ignored.

6. Emotional investment: If you have emotional investment in this person, it may be more painful if you can't read it back. You may think that this relationship is particularly important, so the indifference of the other party will trigger more emotional reactions.

Generally speaking, it is usually because it triggers a series of emotional and psychological reactions, including anxiety, disappointment, self-doubt and social pressure that you can't read back. In this case, it is suggested to adopt a calm and rational attitude, and try to avoid over-interpreting each other's behavior, so as not to fall into unnecessary emotional distress. If necessary, you can also try to communicate openly with each other to eliminate misunderstandings.
