So, you’ve connected with someone digitally for a few weeks and things are heating up between you two. Then all of a sudden, your potential bae stops replying back. You’ve been ghosted! But no need to stress out about this. Don’t think that you’ve done something wrong. It’s not you, it’s them.
When someone ghosts you, it’s usually because that person feels uncomfortable or awkward expressing their own feelings, or they are afraid of letting the other person down. And in an effort to avoid the difficult conversation, they run away and ghost you.
When you are communicating digitally without the face-to-face interaction, people can easily ignore someone without any consequences. They don’t need to explain why they are leaving, they can just disconnect you.
If you want a long-lasting relationship with people, you should talk it out with them and understand how they are feeling in the relationship. This will minimize the chances of people ghosting each other.
While ghosting isn’t always personal, sometimes it’s best if you take a step back and reflect if people are ghosting you all the time. Try to understand what’s going on and understand what the other person is thinking behind the screen.
Here are 3 ghosting symptoms to look out for:
- Long gaps between texts
- Canceling and not rescheduling dates
- Not returning your phone calls.
