Ignoring people is the best way to control them because it takes away their power. In a normal relationship there must be a balance of power, that is why healthy relationships learn to negotiate, to discuss and to communicate. When you ignore someone you have all the power, its all in your court. If you are being ignored, you can't do anything, you have no power. Usually in a relationship you can restore a power balance by asking questions. Asking questions empowers you, that is, if they answer... What can you do if you are being ignored? Two things, first is tell your self its ok to feel powerless. At the end of the day, you're not the one with the problem and not knowing what is going on with the other person won't hurt you either, its ok to feel this way. Keep doing good to them, keep to believing in them, you may be the key to unlock what is going on in them that is locking them up.

Either that or they are too busy, or they think your questions are stupid, or they don't like you. If it is any of these things is the case, sadly you can't change their response of immaturity. Your going to have to find ways to deal with this. It's a big world you will come across this at some stage. If you are a controller yourself you are definitely not going to like being ignored. Because you will feel out of control, again you need to tell yourself this is ok, perhaps seek some advice from a councillor.

Ignoring people can make them feel unimportant and powerless, which can lead them to seek attention or approval from the person ignoring them. This dynamic gives the person who is doing the ignoring a sense of power and control over the other person's emotions and actions. By withholding communication and attention, they can manipulate the other person's behavior to suit their own desires.
