You could just wait and see if they eventually reply. Don't overthink it too much at first.
Don't take it too personally. Maybe they're having a hectic day. Just continue with your own life and if they do get back to you, great. If not, it's their loss. There's no need to let it stress you out. Just keep sharing your stories if you like and don't base your self - worth on their response.
If it bothers you, you might send a follow - up message that's light - hearted, like 'Hey, saw you checked my story. What did you think?'. But don't seem pushy.
There are several possibilities. One is that they are simply forgetful. After watching your story, something else distracted them and they forgot to reply to your message. Another reason could be that they have a passive - aggressive attitude. They want to show that they are aware of your existence (by watching the story) but are not in a hurry to communicate with you. It could also be that they are in a complex emotional state. For example, they might be interested in you but at the same time are hesitant to start a conversation for fear of saying the wrong thing or getting too involved.
You could just ignore it and keep posting your stories as normal. Don't let it bother you too much.
You could just ignore it. If you don't want to engage with your ex, then act like it didn't happen.
One option is to block them. If their behavior makes you uncomfortable or you don't want them having this passive form of access to your life, blocking is a way to take control. However, if you're still interested in them, you could also try sending a friendly, non - accusatory message like 'I noticed you watch my stories. If you want to talk, I'm here.' But be prepared for no response.
First of all, don't take it too personally. It could be that their behavior has nothing to do with you specifically. If you really want to address the situation, you can start by leaving a comment on one of your stories that might prompt them to respond. For example, 'I'm always open to chatting about my stories!'. Another approach could be to share more engaging stories that might make them more likely to break the ice and start a conversation. However, if they continue to ignore you despite your efforts, it might be best to just move on and focus on those who are more responsive in your social circle.
You could choose to ignore it. Just carry on with your life and post your stories as you normally would without giving them much thought.
You could just ignore it. If they're not making an effort to reach out, there's no need for you to overthink it. Just continue living your life and posting your stories as you like.
