With Apologies to Sena Bryer

[Midare]

Yeah, bud... uh... That's still social interaction. A person isn't speaking to an inanimate object just because the other person decides not to engage.

I've got no horse in this race but... you are trying to explain social interactions to someone who earlier in this thread was comparing people to fanatics of that one regime from the 1940's...

You can try to explain to a fish how to walk, but it won't start training to run a marathon.

Fair point...
Part of me just can't help but try, you know?

I know this is gonna be outside of your realm of understanding, as your ability to understand is extremely limited based on what I've seen of your posts, but it is not up to you how people address you. You can only request that they address you a specific way, but at the end of the day they don't have to honor that request. And if your Sena, who is extremely unlikeable and goes out of his way to antagonize people, they are actually more likely to not go along with your request.

Oh no you see it absolutely is up to me how people adress me lol. I'm not saying this to be threatening. I won't force you to adress me how I want, but I'll simply not engage with you. Have fun talking to a wall if you needed my help with anything lol.

Sure thing dude. A father walks into a room and starts talking to his son not knowing his earphones are in - father leaves room thinking he had a conversation but was simply talking to himself...do you see your logic here?

Your comparisons are so off the mark. Those 2 scenarios aren't even close to the same.
The first is you straight up ignoring someone but can still hear them.
The second is the son not even aware you're talking to him.

When someone is ignoring you, they can still hear what you're saying.

If you think my neighbor had a social interaction with me simply because he goes outside to cry at the sky when I let my dogs outside. Then I don't know what to tell you. Social interactions require a response so that both parties have a mutual understanding and level of attention.

I'm sorry but all I can visualize now is your neighbor sitting outside crying at the moon with your dogs lol.

Again making a seperate comparison that's different from the last 2 examples...
So let's take your father son scenario and change it a tad.
Son did something wrong and is in his room. Father goes in and starts lecturing the son. Son doesn't respond. Does that mean the conversation never happened and the son can say he never responded so it didn't happen???
Just because you choose to not respond doesn't mean the conversation didn't take place. You can say it was one sided but it still occured.

This entire thread plays dumb in the most overt way. I believe it was something about respect towards other cultures and not doing certain gestures in Germany that certain idiot tourists get arrested for over there. Something something respect people. Even if it doesn't make sense to you.

Just stop responding to him so the conversation never happened
