What is the psychology behind deliberately not replying to a message?

How does it feel to deliberately not reply to messages? I personally feel that this issue cannot be generalized.

First, how to determine that it was "intentional" failure to reply?

Lack of timely reply does not mean that it is intentional. Maybe the other party is busy, maybe they didn’t see the message, or maybe they saw it and don’t know how to reply.

So it is difficult to determine whether it is intentional or not.

Second, whether the time when sending the message is convenient for the other party.

If the other party is working or resting, it may not be convenient to reply to the message. And some units may require that private chat tools cannot be used during working hours.

Third, if there are too many contacts, you may not be able to see them.

Due to work, some people may have too many contacts on WeChat or QQ, which leads to an explosion of information and cannot be viewed at all, unless they pin a single person to the top.

Fourth, for some questions, you may not know how to answer them at the moment.

For some personal questions, the other party may not have figured out how to answer them, and for some technical questions, they may not have thought of a good solution.

All of the above reasons may result in a failure to respond in time.

Fifth, of course, one thing cannot be ruled out, that is, the other party does not bother to reply at all, or he wants to stay away from the person who sent the message.

So when the other party fails to reply to a message in time, you should not arbitrarily assume that the person did not reply on purpose. You should also think of various possibilities, so as not to cause misunderstandings.
