Ghosting is bad for other reasons also.. Imagine one of your parents "ghosted" you. Would you feel rejected? Or would you think something bad must have happened, and break down their door assuming they must be in duress and need assistance?
That's an extreme example, but I was trying to point out that dropping off the face of the earth to avoid an uncomfortable interaction, and lead to a _much more_ uncomfortable and awkward interaction later.
- eswat 5y agoIt would be especially bad if the person experienced ghosting-like behaviour when they were young, including from their parents. All those little events build up and can make one insecure about their relationships if any hint of abandonement is in the air, let alone complete abandonement through ghosting.
- jollybean 5y agoIf a very significant other ghosted you it would almost invariably be an emergency. That or an extremely problematic relationship. Parents don't 'ghost' children. I mean, unless there's something very, very wrong already like an abusive relationship etc. etc.. For 'recently dating couples' the issues is that the one couple doesn't want to own up to saying 'no' so they just duck and avoid.
