Are you tired of being ghosted?
If you meet someone and they are there one day, everything seems to be going well and then the next day, “poof” they’re gone, you’ve been ghosted!
Being ghosted hurts even more than being dumped. It leaves a level of uncertainty but not before going through numerous emotions starting with paranoia. If it takes an uncharacteristically long time to receive a response you start to wonder if you are about to be ghosted. You then pull it together and try to convince yourself that they are just busy, perhaps their phone died, I mean, you are such a catch, there is no way they didn’t see that. You tell yourself they will be calling any minute….Panic starts to kick in once you have not heard from them for 24 hours. They have had a full day, they have gone to bed and woken up which normally requires some contact with their phone, even if it is putting it on the charger. You wake up and the first thing you do is check your phone, and you are quickly disappointed to see that there was no explanation of their sudden disappearance. You quickly slide into denial and start telling yourself that they wouldn’t do that. You have had such deep meaningful conversations and perhaps have even taken things to a more intimate level. Maybe something more serious has happened to them. Were they hurt in an accident, or perhaps a family emergency? After giving them more than enough time to respond, you get angry. You start driving your friends crazy trying to dissect everything that has happened. They have now been characterized as an inconsiderate jerk. You have decided that now you are going to ghost them back. You have told yourself you aren’t going to call or message them and show them how it feels. The agony quickly sets in once a few days have passed and they haven’t contacted you to see if you are ok. You find yourself checking your phone multiple times to make sure it’s on and still working. Even though you are pissed, you are still hoping for a logical explanation for their sudden disappearance. You are left with wondering what went wrong and questioning yourself, however sooner than later acceptance sets in. There was no accident, no emergency, no sudden death of their third cousin that you had never heard of. Their phone wasn’t broken, they weren’t busy with work, they simply weren’t serious or considerate enough to offer an explanation. Sometimes you have met someone that isn’t that serious about a real relationship. Being communicative is such an important skill level in developing a relationship, and the truth is if someone can’t do that while the beginning of a relationship, it would never work in the first place.
