I like communication and communicating - blame my Psychology degree. I believe that almost all petty (and some dramatic as well as serious) arguments/problems can be solved solely by talking about them - hearing and acknowledging both sides of the story, listening, etc. [Listening and hearing are not the same, as you know.]
Anyway..
Whether it is confessing true feelings of love, infatuation, hatred, envy, jealousy, or just being brutally honest, the presenter/confessor has the right to know the audience's reactions. It is expected, correct? I don't think that it is fair to the 'presentee' (inventing new words, yeah..I KNOW) or the presenter to ignore the issue on the table. One builds up a lot of courage to be honest and it is an insult to not react to that. By not reacting, is the 'presentee' showing no respect for the presenter's emotions and feelings? One may feel relieved that there were no negative feedback and such feeling is quite ephemeral. Before One knows it, the tension arises and one is back in square one. One would like to move on and even tries to move on...but fails miserably.
'One' would like to be reassured that DENIAL is not a river in Egypt. One would like to break off all restraints.....................right about now.
Did you FIND the irony?!
Clue: One likes to communicate!
*Sigh*
Story of One's life!

Its true. But "one" might want to step in to the shoes of the listener and think what brought out the absolute "no reaction". Probably the shock caused by suddenness..
Otherwise the listener had to react especially when the presenter is "one" :)
One has physiological and psychological setbacks that inhibits One from thinking like the other person. One has learned from her experience that it is not always healthy to assume the situation of the other. Prashanth, wouldn't you agree that the shock is just ephemeral and people usually get over it if not in hours, days..at least in weeks?
:D One is an amiable human being who just wants everyone to be happy.
I'm sure that you made One's day.
Its my privilege!
But if the person hasn't reacted for weeks,One should stop worrying abt it! One has got better things to do!
One certainly does have better things to do!You see..One is not worrying..merely wondering (extensively)!
May be the 'listener' does not want to hurt One's feelings!
You're a darling! :D
