It honestly depends.
Where you both in an actual defined relationship? Then yes ghosting is rude and an explanation is warranted.

If you both just went on a few of dates, and where just in a nebulous undefined thing, then chop that ghosting with your full chest. You don't need an explanation over what never solidified.

The first rule of building any form of bonding or friendship with people is basically you understanding that ...IT WOULD NOT LAST FOREVER...


Now back to your question....it depends on the personality of the person ....my type of person ... I get tired of people , conversations and what have you ....so instead of me hurting your feelings it's best I ghost you and maybe come back when I get to miss you ..( that's if I do ) cool cool cool cool

Sometimes ghosting is necessary. People with poor social skills don’t get the necessary cues.

If someone ghosts you, it doesn't mean they are right. Ghosting is one of the ways people run away from facing your judgment, to avoid correcting their wrong deeds, which gives them a false sense of control and power.

To deal with ghosting, always make sure you are on the right side. Because what actually hurts people more during ghosting is the self-questioning that follows, wondering what you did wrong, and your need to be worthy of explanations.

How to deal with a ghoster'' is to simply ignore him/her. This is a time you have to be strong because the ghoster will feel a strong sense of satisfaction when they see that you are troubled by their ghosting.

Treat them like the ghost that they truly are, they should be invincible henceforth. and live a good life, success is always the best revenge.

Vinnie2000:
Ghosting is quite different from rejection. When a girl turns down a guy who woos her and keeps away, dats rejection. When a guy gets rich and when d girl trys to come back. If d guy avoids or blocks her, dats ghosting!

This must be your personal definition of ghosting.

As harsh as it may sound..its a complete way of devaluing and it's very hurtfull..in my own view ghosting Is actually a way of the dominant taking an easy way out and i'sint a good relationship material anyway..

I don’t mind but at least have the decency to respect yourself and not be childish about it. I ghosted my mothers womb but you don’t hear her bitching only men

Some of you ghost and resurface when the money don finish if you can help ..help if you can’t don’t.

All go survive

Because there is usually no real closure.
You are left with so many questions of what could have gone wrong, who was at fault, why you weren't given a chance to right your wrongs if so and so on.
Plus, its extremely immature and those who initiate it do it out of not wanting to deal with - outbursts, explaining themselves or the guilt of what they really know is the problem; themselves. Either way, its childish behavior

Ghosting is a very good reaction towards people who lack manner of approach. If you keep mute at somebody emitting negativity towards you, it clearly shows the foolishness of that person and people around will see it there and then. It can go a long way to also either put the person in his place or make amends.

Was just educated on the meaning of ghosting by the poster below me.

If i am working with that definition, then it is simply horrible for anyone to do that to another person without justifiable reasons
Re: Why Is Ghosting So Hurtful? by SeriouslySense(m): 12:56pm On Mar 03, 2022
Sounds like a nice concept ( i feel i am very very wrong).

But sometimes it can be useful.

I don't usually care about any person ghosting me, because i prefer animal friends.

I had to ghost some person's too, especially a monotonic person, who repeats the same words, hoping to manipulate me, or a person who uses emotions for black mail.

Other people that i find it useful to ghost are religious fanatics and highly superstitious persons who repeat the same words over and over, they are prone to committing a crime, so its safer, they are not able to think much so they may lack understanding.

Also ghost people, who are always having issues with everyone, they will soon have issues with you

Exactly. It is the perfect antidote for people that lack manner of approach. Ghosting such person brings out his/her foolishness for people around to see there and then, and can even make him/her realize the fool of himself/herself made, for corrections.

That's why I don't take people seriously anymore. I'm now the responder, I don't approach anyone, if you hit me up then I respond, and if you don't then I stay in my lane. People nowadays have some issues, they just want to disturb your peace because they lack peace.
