- “K, thanks for that.”
- “No worries, Iโll just handle everything myself.”
- “Good to know where I stand.”
- “Guess Iโm not worth a reply.”
- “Iโm done talking about this.”
- “Sure, if thatโs how you feel.”
- “I see how it is.”
- “LOL, okay.”
- “Really? Whatโs your excuse?”
- “Wow, Iโm shocked. Not.”
- “You do you, I guess.”
- “So, this is how it’s gonna be, huh?”
- “Iโm not mad, just disappointed.”
- “Itโs fine, I donโt care anymore.”
- “Got it. Loud and clear.”

- “Iโll remember that.”
- “Donโt bother replying.”
- “I expected better.”
- “Iโm not surprised.”
- “Congrats, you did it again.”
- “I guess weโre done here.”
1. “Oh, I didnโt realize silence was your new thing.”
This one is the perfect blend of sarcasm and passive aggression. Itโs a subtle way to point out that they’ve been avoiding you, and youโre not amused.
Examples:
- “Guess you took a vow of silence and forgot to tell me.”
- “Wow, you must be busy with your new career as a mime.”
- “I didn’t know you were doing a ‘silent retreat.’ Congrats.”
2. “K, thanks for that.”
Short, snappy, and dripping with disdain. This lets them know youโre done with the conversation, and it’s their fault.
Examples:
- “K, thanks for showing how much I mean to you.”
- “K, thanks for ruining my day, really appreciate it.”
- “K, thanks for nothing. Seriously.”
3. “No worries, Iโll just handle everything myself.”
This is perfect if the person has dropped the ball and left you to clean up the mess. Itโs guilt-inducing without being too direct.
Examples:
- “No worries, Iโll just finish this project solo, again.”
- “No worries, Iโll deal with the drama you caused.”
- “No worries, I guess Iโm the only adult here.”
4. “Good to know where I stand.”
Ouch. This one really lets the other person know theyโve hurt you without you having to explain it. Itโs almost a challenge for them to fix things.
Examples:
- “Good to know where I standโlast place.”
- “Good to know Iโm only needed when itโs convenient for you.”
- “Good to know I’m not a priority.”
5. “Guess Iโm not worth a reply.”
A bit dramatic, but very effective. It plays on their guilt while also letting them know you’re not happy with their lack of communication.
Examples:
- “Guess Iโm not worth a replyโcool, cool.”
- “Guess itโs easier to ignore me than to talk things through.”
- “Guess I imagined our last conversation since you never replied.”
6. “Iโm done talking about this.”
A direct statement that shows youโre at the end of your patience. It signals youโve had enough and donโt want to engage further.
Examples:
- “Iโm done talking about this. Figure it out yourself.”
- “Iโm done talking about this, and I donโt want to hear excuses.”
- “Iโm done talking about this. Fix it or donโt your call.”
7. “Sure, if thatโs how you feel.”
This response works when theyโve said or done something particularly hurtful. It shows disappointment without getting too emotional.
Examples:
- “Sure, if thatโs how you feel about our friendship.”
- “Sure, if youโre cool with hurting me like that.”
- “Sure, if you think treating me this way is okay.”
8. “I see how it is.”
Another short and sweet one. This phrase conveys that you understand the situation now, and itโs not good.
Examples:
- “I see how it is. Iโm only good enough when youโre bored.”
- “I see how it is. Youโre too busy for me now.”
- “I see how it is. You donโt care.”
9. “LOL, okay.”
Youโre laughing, but not really. This phrase is an excellent way to show your disbelief and irritation without yelling.
Examples:
- “LOL, okay, I guess I deserved that?”
- “LOL, okay, so ignoring me is fine now?”
- “LOL, okay, Iโll just pretend weโre cool.”
10. “Really? Whatโs your excuse?”
Itโs a direct way of saying you donโt believe them and are unimpressed with their lame reasoning.
Examples:
- “Really? Thatโs your excuse for not replying all week?”
- “Really? Thatโs your excuse for ditching me last minute?”
- “Really? Thatโs your excuse for treating me like this?”
11. “Wow, Iโm shocked. Not.”
This is sarcasm at its finest. It conveys that youโre not surprised by their behaviour, and thatโs not a good thing.
Examples:
- “Wow, Iโm shocked you bailed. Not.”
- “Wow, Iโm shocked you forgot again. Not.”
- “Wow, Iโm shocked you didnโt care. Not.”
12. “You do you, I guess.”
A resigned way of saying that youโre done trying to communicate and will let them make their own (bad) choices.
Examples:
- “You do you, I guess. Iโm done chasing.”
- “You do you, I guess. I donโt matter.”
- “You do you, I guess. Just donโt expect me to be around.”
13. “So, this is how it’s gonna be, huh?”
This shows that youโre disappointed but also coming to terms with their behaviour. Itโs a bit confrontational without being overly harsh.
Examples:
- “So, this is how it’s gonna be, huh? Cool, Iโll adjust.”
- “So, this is how it’s gonna be, huh? Nice knowing you.”
- “So, this is how it’s gonna be, huh? Got it.”
14. “Iโm not mad, just disappointed.”
It’s the classic guilt trip. This phrase signals that their actions have genuinely let you down.
Examples:
- “Iโm not mad, just disappointed that you didnโt show up.”
- “Iโm not mad, just disappointed that youโve changed.”
- “Iโm not mad, just disappointed that this is how it ends.”
15. “Itโs fine, I donโt care anymore.”
When you do care, but youโre pretending not to. This response is both dismissive and emotionally charged.
Examples:
- “Itโs fine, I donโt care anymore, do whatever.”
- “Itโs fine, I donโt care anymore. Iโm done trying.”
- “Itโs fine, I donโt care anymore, Iโll just move on.”
16. “Got it. Loud and clear.”
This is a direct acknowledgement that their message (or lack of one) has been received, and youโre upset about it.
Examples:
- “Got it. Loud and clear, you donโt have time for me.”
- “Got it. Loud and clear, you donโt value this.”
- “Got it. Loud and clear, weโre not on the same page.”
17. “Wow, okay then.”
A simple yet effective way to show your disbelief and frustration at their actions or words.
Examples:
- “Wow, okay then, I guess weโre not friends anymore.”
- “Wow, okay then, thatโs how you feel?”
- “Wow, okay then, thanks for that.”
18. “Iโll remember that.”
A subtly threatening way of saying that you wonโt forget how theyโve treated you, and it might come back to bite them.
Examples:
- “Iโll remember that next time you need me.”
- “Iโll remember that when you ask for a favour.”
- “Iโll remember that next time we talk.”
19. “Donโt bother replying.”
This phrase signals that you donโt even want to hear their excuses or explanations anymore.
Examples:
- “Donโt bother replying, Iโve heard enough.”
- “Donโt bother replying, weโre done here.”
- “Donโt bother replying, it wonโt change anything.”
20. “I expected better.”
This lets them know you had higher hopes for their behavior, and theyโve failed you.
Examples:
- “I expected better from you. Guess I was wrong.”
- “I expected better. You let me down.”
- “I expected better, but clearly, thatโs on me.”
21. “Iโm not surprised.”
This is a resigned way of saying their actions are exactly what you expected, and thatโs not a compliment.
Examples:
- “Iโm not surprised you flaked again.”
- “Iโm not surprised you didnโt bother to show up.”
- “Iโm not surprised youโve been avoiding me.”
22. “Congrats, you did it again.”
Sarcastic and pointed, this shows that their behaviour is a pattern, and youโre not happy about it.
Examples:
- “Congrats, you did it againโruined my day.”
- “Congrats, you did it againโignored me.”
- “Congrats, you did it againโdisappointed me.”
23. “I guess weโre done here.”
This signals that youโre ready to move on from the conversation or relationship. Itโs both dramatic and final.
Examples:
- “I guess weโre done here, no point in continuing.”
- “I guess weโre done here, clearly you donโt care.”
- “I guess weโre done here, Iโm out.”
