That's why we have faith. Because Science, theories, speculation, prophecies, can't escape pure, raw feelings. LOVE. HATE. Love to Hate, Hate to Love... and all that stuff in between. Feelings are inexplicably existing separate from sugar or alcohol in take or any kind of substance abuse. I have faith in feelings. I believe them. But faith should be blind, but I need your feelings to be seen, to say something, be something, respond...!
Can someone really respect you if they won't respond?
Why aren't they responding?
Option A is Fear - fear of disappointing, hurting, feeling, truth, the consequences of responding
Option B is Disinterest - can't be bothered, no motivation (same thing),
Option C is Lack of respect - condescending sense of empowerment from keeping someone waiting, no obligation, no responsibility, no commitment.
Oh dear... the C word. Commitment. Commitment is the Option All-of-the-above... can't commit to something because you fear it, you're disinterested in committing, you don't respect the commitment because it takes away your freedom.
So perhaps asking someone to respond, expecting someone to respond is a trap... Perhaps I am boxing them in, imprisoning them, killing their individuality and their free spirit. Perhaps I've sown their lips together and silence is their freedom. And then, the question must be asked... is it personal? Is it just me? I am the only one demanding, wanting, needing a response and worse, am I the only one not responded to?
Say something, or at least say nothing, because even nothing I understand.
