I've been trying to shut up more, become more stoic, and ignore a lot of bullshit that goes on between my SO and also my bitch coworker (who I just posted about in askTRP)

It works great but I am constantly asked "why are you ignoring me?"

"Why have you been ignoring me?"

"Are you done ignoring me ?"

Especially because They are so used to me always responding. Now I don't just sit there and ignore everything. Except with my coworker now because I believe it's best. But I get asked this a lot now.

And it's been very hard for me to just ignore that question. Especially if she's staring at me waiting for a response. I keep wanting to DEER. It's almost like they will demand an answer and won't give up till they get one.

Is there some way of responding to this without me telling them why and getting all logical on them?

Because to my coworker I want to say "I'm ignoring you because you're a horrible rude gossiping bitch who makes this place miserable and I'm sick of getting yelled at for everything. When you're not even my boss" but I'm guessing that's not smart to say
