Ya that makes sense. That's a strong mental you have there. I guess if you responded it would've made it worse so he just ended up giving up because of a lack of reaction.
I will keep this advice for the future then if I ever come into that situation. Thank you for answering🙏. Appreciate it.
People that do things like this out of hate, jealousy or spite, are often seeking a reaction, which is why I don't give them one. It's a lesson I learned from the age of five and it built a lot of character.
