And that is usually the way I behave as well. But if I make repeated attempts to contact someone and I know they are ignoring me I decide it is an example of how different human beings can be and I focus my attention on people who enjoy my company.
We can never control other people's decisions or behavior. All that is under our control is how we choose to deal with that.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
