Vanessa Van Edwards says sincere people shut down when they don't get reciprocal engagement. Share something and get only "cool" back, no follow-up questions, and they feel dismissed. They ask others plenty but rarely get asked in return, which reads as disinterest.
What shuts down a Sincere person, absolutely 100% is even in friendship, I flirt with friends also. And if I am, like, sharing something and then they're like, oh, yeah, cool. And I'm like, what? Like, aren't you going to ask me more questions or tell me something? I feel very dismissed. Like, that's a bit I put out there that, like, was ignored. You often hear sincere people say, you know, I asked them all these questions, never asked me a single question back. Are they not interested? That's because they're seeking, like, connect with me. Are you interested in me? Like, are you going to ask me anything? And sometimes they'll be opening up a lot. But if you don't ask back, it's not that sincere. Back and forth.
