I agree. Was the “friendship” actually just someone they chatted with on Signal occasionally? That’s not really what I’d call a friend. It would barely class as an acquaintance. They also mention they interact with hundreds of people this way. I’m sorry but those aren’t friendships. Has modern life completely done away with actual friendships where you know each other fairly intimately and actually spend a good deal of time together? If you barely talk to someone’s online persona why should you even bat an eye when they ghost? You haven’t actually invested anything so you haven’t lost anything.
