[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does "toy with" mean? Examples?[/quote]

There's a former friend who treated me like crap, then ghosted. But instead of, you know, ghosting and moving on with her life, she has made multiple sockpuppet profiles, regularly monitors anything I post publicly, and clearly still has a head full of me and her eyes all over my life. Why? If you won't talk to my face, why leave "dear you..." style not-so-anonymous posts about me elsewhere? It's not even just talking about me; I might be able to understand gossip, but this isn't about me to other people. It's passive-aggressively @ing me instead of speaking to my face like a reasonable, sane adult.

Another is a hot/cold relationship with someone who regularly begs for my attention, but then turns nasty or absent when he gets it. Why? It's like being punished for trying to care about someone. Why ask me if I care only to ignore me when I say I do?

These are just examples, but none of it makes sense to me. Why play games with anyone when you can speak your piece and dial direct? And if you can't be direct, why engage at all? What is the gain from this passive-aggressive nonsense? Wasting my time confusing me by looking stupid?
