Step 1: Wait a long time before responding to text messages.
After receiving a text from someone that you dislike or want to trick, wait a while before replying.
Unreturned text messages can be frustrating and irritating, and not responding right away can make you seem uninterested, cold and rude.The silent treatment is a passive aggressive expression of rage, and it can have quite an impact in communicating anger., Short sentences can sound abrupt or harsh in a text message, creating a negative tone for the exchange.Texting is already a form of communication with very little intimacy, so using this medium to communicate in a curt manner is especially dismissive.Use simple "yes" or "no" answers, or terse responses such as "okay" or "fine"
to convey your disinterest in prolonging conversation.
For example: "No thanks." "That's okay." "Yes, I am. "That's fine."
Blocking someone's texts demonstrates anger through an unwillingness to communicate.
Alternatively, you can activate an auto-response to texts that an individual will receive whenever they text message you.
To give the impression that you're angry, customize a message that suggests that you are avoiding the text; do not indicate any intention to respond later, as most auto-reply texts generally do.
Example- "I am not responding to texts." -
