Is it rude to snub someone?

So lets say someone who you were cool with said something that hurt your feelings and offended you. You let them know and they apologize but you don't feel like their apology was sincere. Then you start resent the person and lost interest in talking to them. You where not really close friends but more like acquaintances and whenever you see each other ,you say hi to each other
So my question is, would that be rude to completely ignore this person and walk past them when they say hi to you next time you run into them?

i would say ignoring anyone is rude, i never turn my nose up or ignore anyone, if they say hi say hi back and walk on by. be the bigger person0

Yes, I think it would be somewhat rude. But if you truly do not want to associate with the person then why do you care?
I think if you actually have to keep seeing this person because they're a coworker, neighbor, go to the same church, club, gym...or you live in some crazy small town..then you might as well just smile, say hi, or nod and walk on.
Also you probably know the person well enough to know how they will perceive your snub. I don't think it is necessary to actually make an enemy from the sound of it...0 -
meh, I'm generally only rude intentionally0

This sounds like something a young teenage girl would ask.0

Childish and rude. Talk to your friend like a grown up.0

Yes. If you get so butthurt every time someone says something you don't like that you ignore them, then you might as well prepare yourself for a lonely life. Your behavior certainly isn't any better than theirs.0

she was not my friend but someone I know and I have no interest talking to them after she intentionally hurt my feelings and embarrass me in front of everyone0 -
Are you supposed to be on your phone between class?0

Snubbing someone is the definition of rude. That's the purpose of it. To be rude to someone. You don't politely snub a person.
Totally agree.
I reread the OP and realized I originally missed the part that said "when they say hi to you"...that's 100% rude, OP.
I thought you just meant like passing each other in a hallway or at the supermarket and neither of you says a word but you snub her by means of looking the other way and not acknowledging her. Because I think that would be just SLIGHTLY rude, but generally fine.
Actually ignoring someone's greeting is just flat out rude & tacky, unless they did something so terrible to you that it required a police report. JMHO.0 -
What is the purpose of snubbing if not to be intentionally rude to someone?0

"embarrassed" - that said.....how? What did she do exactly?

Don't say hi back just give them the "I don't like you smile".

That's the point,i am trying to be hurtful towards her to show that I don't care about her0 -
The word "snub" implies an insult. So yes. Rude.
It is also rude to judge someone else's apology. That's a rabbit hole you don't want to go down unless you're prepared for what it means.0 -
Def rude. No harm in just saying hi and moving on. Takes what 2 seconds out of your day?0

snub = rude
rub = yes, please0 -

You don't show someone that you "don't care" by being "hurtful." You show you don't care by not caring. Intentionally making someone feel badly to perk yourself up makes you a bad person.0 -

People who don't care don't have to be hurtful to prove anything.
They're busy not caring.0 -
Really??? :noway: :yawn:0

So you want to be rude and you're just double checking with us if this is rude?
What are you really asking???

You can acknowledge someone - that's just being civil. But you don't have to be friends.
Believe me, I've cut plenty of people out of my life who deserved it. But if I have to work with them, it's just better to be civil.0
