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.

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.

(and "you're goddamn right I did!!!")

DP. You're the exact kind of hysterical, aggressive person who necessitates ghosting. No one owes it to you to deal with your histrionics and name calling.

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?

Smart.

I think the ideal way is to convince the other person to ghost you. Way less messy.

It was such a relief to be rid of her baggage.

Getting ghosted by a friend in my opinion is more hurtful and cruel than by someone romantic. And so unnecessary.

Otherwise it's cruel and cowardly and making society worse.
