3 Reasons People Don't Reply to Your Messages

Here are 3 reasons why people ignore messages::: 

1.There are too many different kinds of messages out there. Between texts, tweet, Facebook messages, LinkedIn emails, traditional e-mails, voice mail, and others, it’s easy for any single message to get lost in the shuffle. 

2. People are too busy. Everybody’s rushing and multi-tasking, zipping from one activity to another with mobile devices glued to their ears and fingers—and in a generally frenetic environment it’s easy to have small things like messages slip through the cracks. 

3. People are kind of lazy and they’d rather avoid the hard stuff. This may account for why increasing numbers of my harder-edged, shall we say, business messages go unanswered. Conflict is unpleasant, as is the notion someone might not be doing something all that well. So if there’s not a clear expectation that a definite answer is required (and sometimes even if there is) it’s easier and less stressful to ignore and forget it.
