He may need to time to get his head straight and think clearly before he starts talking to you again. The break up may of hit him hard and he'll need time to get back to his normal self. This may take him a couple days, months you'll have to wait it out and he may message you back.

He might be taking time to get over you and making sure that he won’t hurt you by lashing out at you. He might be upset, maybe angry. And maybe he just doesn’t want to be friends.

Breakups are very hard, and he very likely is taking time to himself to sort through his feelings and fully move on/recover from what happened. It's not uncommon for both people from a past relationship to up and ignore each other completely.

He may be trying to cope himself especially if you broke up with him. He may just need time to get himself together

Because he tries to move on and staying in contact right now may cause things to get worse for both of you because of the recent break up, give it some time and time will tell

Maybe he needs space. Most people need that after a relationship. Give him time and occasionally say “hiâ€. Start small

Some people don't know how to handle their emotions. Some people become clingy and want to make things better (even if there is nothing to make better), and some people become distant. Give the person space and time. They deserve it just as much as you do.

It's the normal reaction of certain people after a breakup. Ending a relationship is a huge mark in someone's life, and after it happens, some people tend to hide and and act like it did not happened. Other people do react differently and tend to not Ignore the situation. It all depends on the person

People often feel like they need time off after the end of a relationship. I am one of them as well. It's not easy to stop caring about someone over night. Being close but not as close as before can put many poisonous thoughts into the mind of the person that they might feel overwhelming. They might need time.

It is normal for people to avoid each other after a break up. This is because many times we don't feel comfortable addressing the after break up scenario and there is a feeling that the conversation may be awkward or even go downhill while discussing the cause of break up. Another possibility is that he might want to avoid getting triggered which is the case most of the times.
I still love my ex. Should I feel this way?
