[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally when this happens, the person ghosting was hurt by something the other person did and is too nice, or too non-confrontational, to talk to the person they’re ghosting. Or they’ve become aware of something about the other person’s character that indicates that they are not really a true friend.

Sometimes...Or the ghoster is just a user and has no use for the ghosted friend anymore.  In those cases, good riddance.[/quote]

That could e, too, but when I’ve seen this and know the people on both sides, i[b]t is usually that the person being ghosted has done something and the “ghoster” just doesn’t want to deal with the [/b][b]other person anymore. [/b]The person has shown who they are and the other person realizes that talking to the person won’t change anything, so they decide it’s better to avoid further hurt and they ghost the person.

This.
I ghosted a pretty close friend -- who I was there for over a number of years -- because she needed professional psychiatric help and was getting paranoid and aggressive. I begged her to see a doctor but she's one of those 'natural remedies' type of people who think all doctors are incompetent, at best, and evil money grabbers at worst. According to her, a 'true' friend would agree with everything she says/believes and would accompany her on her 'quest for the cure', for the disease that's considered purely psychosomatic by modern medicine.
I guess I'm not one of her 'true' friends. I couldn't take her crazy conspiracy theories rants anymore. I tried to slowly cut contact but stay in touch and check on her periodically, until she flipped on me, accused of being a heartless bitch who doesn't care about her failing health and wished all her 'symptoms' on me and my family.
Mkay, then.
OP, I believe that's not your case with your friend. Just my 2 cents.[/quote]
