Ghosting! Because avoidance behavior is so much easier. Who here has done it? I'll admit to it.
I ghost IRL, but only after way past reasonably being pushed. If I were to outline the reasons why, most people would think that was way too kind. lol
Online, uhm, not so much really, but do get quiet if something's given me pause, but to outright ghost or poof no, not yet anyway.
I hate it! It has happened to me a few times and it drives me crazy. I need to hear the words, I'm not interested, I've changed my mind, you talk too much, whatever. It's like an unfinished sentences. It is such a cowardly act. I have no problem telling someone it's done, relationship or not.
I am new this messaging back and forth, but it seems to me sometimes the conversations just seem to peter out and you both know it. It is not the best way to converse.
I agree that if the conversation is stagnant and you’ve nothing else in common just stopping if fine. But would you do it if you were in a relationship?
@helionoftroy No
There have been a few people in recent years that I have felt it necessary to block out of my life, because I didn't need their negativity. These have mostly been people I looked at possibly dating, but they were 'crazy.' So yes there were a couple I ghosted, but there were also ones that I did tell that I didn't want contact before I deleted and blocked them.
Good on you for being man enough to let the other person know! If only everyone had that level of respect.
What is ghosting?
When you suddenly stop talking/texting/communicating with a person. Poof disapear!
I've had it done to me before. It's a really shitty thing to do.
I agree. I’ve done it but not with someone I was in a relationship with.
@helionoftroy I thought this was in the context of a relationship. I guess you can do it to friends or family too.
