Do you consider ghosting people a reasonable way to deal with today’s overwhelming and constant information and notification overload? Or do you find it offensive and unfriendly?
Would you equate it to a person ignoring you irl or is ignoring a text different?
For this post let’s assume the people involved are or were in the past friends, and ghosting is leaving someone on “read” for more than 2 days.
Ghosting is a sign of a dishonest relationship. If someone ghosts you, recognize they had a deep issue and it had fuck-all to do with you. If you ghost someone unwarrantedly the opposite is true: you’re exhibiting cruel, sociopathic behavior, even if you feel bad about it.
Tell people things with your words. It is important to not leave people hanging. It does psychological damage and pretending it doesn’t makes you a sufferer.
