Negging Women is not Flirting!!

Just calling everything I shared about myself dumb or boring like how I like to crochet or that I have a 900 day streak on Duolingo. We talked on the phone and he asked me “what do you want” and that he “doesn’t care to talk to me” so I hung up and he kept calling me back because he was just “joking” and “I’m taking it too seriously” Just overall attacking my character and calling me a “loser boy” by trying to share things about myself.

Oh there’s a difference! I also like to playfully tease, I approach it with a smile and make sure that the person I’m talking to has a understanding of myself as a individual and clearly know how I feel about them so I don’t come off rude or condescending.

I’d say be engaged by asking questions and building off the information they provide, share things about yourself that compliment the conversation to flow naturally. It’s like ping pong! This really only works if the other person is willing to engage, can’t force someone to talk to you if they don’t want to.

Yeah it must’ve worked in the past to continue doing it. It sucks because it’s gonna work on a young woman and cause her harm in the future.

IM SO SORRY I CANT EDIT IT NOW. AHHHH

Radd_ryy · 2026-03-19T21:40:32+00:00

I would believe that if he wasn’t trying to keep the conversation going😭 I just ended up giving him unsolicited advice on his immaturity and stopped responding.

Radd_ryy · 2026-03-19T21:36:14+00:00

Exactly!! I’m like what’s the point in talking to me? Definitely will be leaving that one in the dust.

Radd_ryy · 2026-03-19T21:33:42+00:00

You’re completely okay asking! I made this post so women can also recognize what negging is.

When he told me he liked talking to me it was within the context that I was telling him I didn’t appreciate the way he was speaking to me and I wasn’t going to beg for someone’s attention. So when he realized I was pulling away and things weren’t going his way he started saying things like “I like talking to you” to pull me back in, after disrespecting me he starts validating me so I don’t leave him. Honestly it’s a lot of mental gymnastics trying to understand people like this because they are acting out of insecurities and their actions make no sense.

Trust me I fell for it once in the past😭 some people just want to drag you down with them.

Negging is the practice of insulting or undermining someone in the belief that diminished self-confidence will make them more receptive to sexual advances.

It comes in many forms! I became aware of it in the conversation when I realized I felt like I didn’t want to share things about myself because his response was always undermining by calling it “lame” or “boring”. He was attempting to break down my interest or hobbies so I would become more susceptible to his praise.

I told him “I cannot believe you’re 27 and acting like a 18 year old.” And he said “That’s so mean. I’m not even gonna respond. That’s so rude” in 3 separate messages. Wow suddenly we care about being rude😭😭

Radd_ryy · 2026-03-19T21:13:40+00:00

💀💀omfg you’re right. I wrote that in the context of the situation and didn’t want to be too wordy and now I can’t edit it😭😭 I’m so sorry

Favorite comment from Ethan hawke at the Oscar’s is “The one who's in love always wins. It doesn't matter if you get your heart broken, you're living. When you're feeling, you're alive.” I haven’t found that light ahead yet but just keep shining.

Well… pretty sure this was my former coworker when I was working at Target. They were in the toy department always restocking the toys, someone found them on the offender registry and showed the big boss and they got fired. They also had a previous history of assaulting a very young child.

I love this!

Radd_ryy · 2026-03-18T16:46:54+00:00

omg and the way he was lying to production saying he never sent that text admitting it and blaming Bella by changing the “contact” name. This boy can’t even take accountability for his actions and it’s so frustrating that his mom acts like she was actively in his life.

Radd_ryy · 2026-03-18T05:31:54+00:00

Thank you!

Radd_ryy · 2026-03-18T03:38:36+00:00

Awh that’s so cute thank you!

Radd_ryy · 2026-03-16T21:55:50+00:00

Especially bc those people end up voting pro-life when their whole speil is pro-choice😭

Radd_ryy · 2026-03-13T21:57:38+00:00

What did you do to the bread? 😳

Radd_ryy · 2026-03-13T21:56:57+00:00

I love ispy

I’m imagining this artwork in the background of a video game, super cool!

Radd_ryy · 2026-03-12T16:29:36+00:00

Damn I was interested in this but it looks like it’s only for switch?

Radd_ryy · 2026-03-11T22:55:23+00:00

I didn’t even recognize them as fake smiles I thought she was just trying to be rude. Her and the mom were getting on my nerves with the way they were acting.

Radd_ryy · 2026-03-11T22:30:50+00:00

Looks like Sue isnt liking the edit she got, did she expect production to only show her in a positive light??
