snub
Snub is when someone doesn’t pay attention to you or ignores you. Imagine you’re playing with your toys and you want to show your favorite toy to your friend. But your friend turns away and doesn’t look at it. That’s a bit of a snub because you wanted them to see but they didn’t pay attention.
Picture a puppy wagging its tail, excited to play with its owner. But the owner is too busy looking at their phone and doesn’t notice the puppy. The puppy might feel sad because it was snubbed. It’s like when you wave at someone and they don’t wave back.
Think of a party where everyone is having fun and talking. If someone doesn’t let you join their game or talk to you, it feels like a snub. You might feel left out because you wanted to be part of the fun but they acted like you weren’t there.
Snubbing can make people feel sad or lonely because everyone wants to be noticed and included. It’s important to be kind and pay attention to others so they don’t feel snubbed.
