[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No it is not! I got ghosted back in February by someone who I had been friends with for 16 years! We even lived together for three years in college. Sometimes, I still wonder what the f*** happened. I wish she had told me why she doesn't want to be friends anymore. I'd rather hear harsh words than be left wondering. [/quote]

Then you can handle the truth. Tom Cruise and so many others cannot. And quite frankly when you know you don’t want to move forward with the person what is the point of airing it out and resolving it? Is everything going to just go back to old times? Think about that…Maybe for them, but not for you…you will most likely remain bothered by whatever it is. Some things are better left unsaid. Sounds dysfunctional, but true in some cases.[/quote]

Nope. Still cowardly. Blaming other people's alleged inability to "handle the truth" for your inability to stand ten down and speak it is immature af.

Even though we disagree I still get where you are coming from and I understand your opinion (and the end of your reply made me laugh out loud). But you notice how you totally disregard and disrespect mine and other PPs that agree with the various reasons for ghosting someone? Thank you for proving the point. Why confront someone who refuses to understand and only sees their own perspective? What is to be gained from that?

With an increasing mental health crisis in the US, I think it is better to lower the temperature and let everyone involved have a moment of silence. What is wrong with that? Are people just entitled to your time just because they are ready to engage you?[/quote]

Checking in from the mental health field in to say ghosting for reasons of avoiding fleeting discomfort or awkwardness is messed up and dysfunctional. [/quote]
