    This is something that people have told me in the past but it is just something I genuinely do not understand.

    A crazy person is going to be crazy regardless, how is telling someone to back off not lower the chance of a bad encounter compared to just blatently ignoring someone.

      Provides a point of fixation

      If she stops talking, there's nothing to focus upon

      If she says "no," then they focus on reclaiming their pride, proving a point, defeating the feeling of rejection, proving her wrong, and so on

      It's not unlike yelling "fuck you" at someone you were arguing with outside of a bar at 2AM--if you said nothing, there's nothing to hold onto, but now they're going to kick your ass

        There is actually, the fact that she's not talking.

          Yeah, wouldn't it make more sense to give a text saying they don't want to continue and then ghost?
