Massively prefer ghosting. At least it isn't wasting my time.
- falcor84 3y agoBut ghosting is wasting your time, as our brain is wired to need closure [0]. Not having that closure, is like a psychological DDOS attack, especially when done by a romantic partner, whereby (assuming you're looking for monogamy) you can't tell whether to make yourself available for someone else or not.

- simbolit 3y agoI agree with everything you wrote. Yet, as my parent comment suggested an AI indefinitely continuing the conversation, which gives me no closure either, I still massively prefer ghosting.
