Life coach Nick Hatter explains how to find closure after being ghosted - an unfortunately common occurrence in modern dating
If you've downloaded a dating app in the last decade, then chances are you know what it means to be ghosted. Or perhaps you've been the ghost-er?
Below, Nick explains what you should do if you think you've been ghosted, why people ghost and how to pick yourself back up. Nick explains: "People ghost for a number of reasons -and it's important to not to take it too personally. For example, they could have found a partner, maybe they just didn't feel a connection - which isn't a reflection on you. They could just be really busy, they may have intimacy or love avoidance issues, or they may secretly have a partner already. They could be a catfish, and so on.
I think I've been ghosted - what should I do? Nick advises that the worst thing you can do is 'chase' a ghoster. Shaming and blaming someone 'is likely to put them on the defensive and make you look needy,' he says. "For example, I wouldn't recommend sending: 'Why haven't you replied :( ?'" But the very nature of ghosting can leave you to draw your own conclusions as to why someone cut contact with you. As Nick previously explained, most of the time it just isn't that personal. Yet without closure, we can often blame ourselves for other people's shortcomings.
