No because there’s no desire to build or maintain a relationship with the person. You just emotionally reduce them an NPC and do damage control until they are gone. Pretty much how social media works.


Thanks for a good answer, you've got a point, though I suspect it works in similar ways with people you do and don't want to maintain a relationship (and a lot of relationships fail because of similar reasons)

(Unless of course the person is good at manipulation, though eventually things fall apart)
