'Most people who are ghosted assume they did something wrong. While others are losing sleep... the ghoster is already moving on to the next victim.'
ghosting is a character disorder that stems from trauma and conflict evasion. They aren’t wrong. While legendary ghosters immortalised in literature have often been men , ghosting is actually gender-neutral and equal-opportunity. Anybody with a healthy dose of avoidant-attachment is capable of callously leaving without a trace.My first ghosting episode was senior year of high school with Fernando, whom I met on an exchange program to Magdalena, Mexico.
Most people who are ghosted assume they did something wrong or that the ghoster just wasn’t feeling it and wasn’t brave enough to admit it. We’ve allowed this bad behaviour because it happens so often that now it just seems normal. Once it dawned on me that there were no imminent emotional consequences to disappearing, it was even easier to pull a Houdini the next time a romantic prospect invited me to their brother’s bar mitzvah.Even when I myself was ghosted in the most humiliating ways , it wasn’t enough to deter me from the dark path.
