Boo!

 

Is this an attempt to frighten me or a commentary on my posting ability?

 

wuts ghosting

 

jk looked it up that's fucked up imo.

 

Cutting off someone without explanation after you decide you don't want to see them

 

Yeah man, I've been ghosted a few times before, but it's hard. I've got a little sister so whenever someone is being a creep to her, I advise her to never talk to them again. So when someone does it to me, I have to wonder, "Am I being the creep?"
Which is never my intention. I suppose there are other reasons to want to ghost somebody!

 

I don't think there's any scenario where it will make you feel good "oh phew they just don't like me that much"

 

I've done it before, but would never do it again. It speaks to one's character, in my opinion, and it usually is coupled with the trope of "she is too crazy to deal with", etc. Better to be honest and deal with the fallout than to disappear and leave them in the lurch.

 

Never been ghosted but I think step one to being ghosted is go on dates and I def never do that.

Seems like such an unnecessary thing though. Isn't it easier to just tell someone you aren't interested and break it off?
unless it is mostly a way to deter creeps? in which case it sort of makes sense cause part of what usually makes them creeps is they aren't taking the hint.

 

Haha, very true. I always try my best to give people a firm 'no' if I'm not interested.

 

it's an uncomfortable situation to have to tell someone you're not interested, and a lot of people don't handle rejection well. Technology makes it easy for people to ignore each other instead of have that unpleasant interaction

But it's always strange when they don't answer your texts for a while and then come back weeks later like nothing happened

 

I thought it meant like you just cut off all communication with your boy/girlfriend cuz you don't wanna go through the hassle of having to break up with them. I guess I can see it if it's someone you don't know super well and they're really shitty though.

 

Oooh, that's the worst. I live in a pretty small town and have absolutely seen people later that have ghosted me. They just act like nothing happened, haha

 

I didn't know there was a name for it but yes, I do.

 

On one occasion, I was "ghosted", then a few weeks later, I got a text asking to help them move. I respected the boldness of that. Ha.

 

Very bold move, haha. Did you help?

 

Ya I've just told girls I'm not interested in a relationship with them and then they stop talking to me. ez

 

Nope. It had less to do with having been ghosted and more to do with laziness, honestly.

 

Yup

 

but why do it and have to deal with them like texting you for a bit until they get the hint? Is it just cause the conversation might be difficult and you are anxious about it?

 

Because I'm a ghost

 

My wife is pregnant, I am gonna be a dad. I don't play WoW, but if I wanted to it would be a bad time to start.

 

Congrats!

 

well yeah that makes sense ghosting is just what ghosts do
