[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have slow faded people and probably they have felt ghosted. I think sometimes people want open explanations but aren't always open to what is presented to them, don't accept it - argue. It's not a case of needing to defend yourself, it is simply that the other person no longer wants to be around it / you.

Friends come and go, this is something people need to accept. Years ago I had a work friend who told me she thought each person she was friends with served a function and they were easily replaceable, or in time would automatically be replaced by another person with the same function. It seemed harsh at the time I heard it but she was absolutely right and as a result she had no trouble moving on from friendships that didn't really hold water any more. [/quote]

Okay, but if you feel it is necessary for YOU to slow fade people you have previously been friends with or spent a lot of time with, the least you can do is explain to them why you want to let them go. Slow fading or ghosting without an explanation is really unfair. And immature too.

I always want to know WHY.
If I get fired from my job I want to know why. If I get turned down after a job interview I'd like to get feedback- whether positive or negative. It's helpful to know WHY. I'm a big girl, I can take it.

Ok well I can guess why people slow fade or ghost you. You're too controlling. [/quote]
