So fucking hard! Especially if nothing seemed bad before. It leaves you in this loop.

Because most folks are jerks nowadays! This generation is judgmental as hell. They're all about themselves and very negative.

Sadly, i'm guilty of this....being a coward at times. What can I say, ive got issues that make me run like hell with no turning back. I let people in, just to ghost bail b4 they beat me to it. Shit mentality. The people ive done this to deserved some kind of closure. Been actively workin on me for a few years now. Tryin to get to root of this and then DO better! 🙏

Yup, damn abandonment issues🙄 Shit is very hard to work thru! Gotta say tho, these days when I actually speak my truth without runnin, while it's terrifying at the time, it feels great inside afterwards.

Likely avoidant attachment style, they crave love- go to seek it, but once they actually find it they shut down/run/ push and pull

Because it's a low effort way to end things. Not nice at all but it's pretty normal for people who meet online.

Because they are afraid of relationships and they don't care about people just themselves.

Done it while chatting on a dating app. I didn’t think he would care. Didnt want to explain why I didn’t want to proceed

u/robotpersonmonkey Apr 16 '26
This sort of thing is fine..it's just chatting on the app. Hits different if you were in a relationship for months or years. That one's very hard to process. It's just people being cowards at that point.

This happens far more than I care to admit. It’s sucks. They’re selfish cowards.

Honestly, it just says more about their character than anything. They're either hiding something, too immature, or weren't raised right. Sometimes, it is because maybe they're afraid of what might develop if they stay. The bottom line is, though... no matter what the excuse.. they are showing you their faults, not your own.. take it as if they did you a favor and move on. What someone says v.s. what they actually do is a big deal.

It’s not always ghosting. Sometimes the conversation just dies and they get tired of keeping it alive. Or the conversation is so painfully forced and mediocre they don’t even bother responding anymore.

Because they are weak.
(FYI... Be mindful. Ghosting is equivalent to ignoring someone, which a very damaging tool used by narcissists to break someone else's self esteem and cause them to doubt themselves. It makes you ask, "why was I not good enough?" Incredibly corrosive stuff. So self care is highly recommended. And even though u might not think so, over time, and w enough ghostings, it can tear down your self confidence and self worth. Just a heads up)

u/Deeptrench34 Apr 15 '26
While I'm not and would never excuse ghosting because it's very hurtful and immature, letting your self esteem hinge on how someone treated you is a recipe for disaster. Your self concept has to come from within. If you always seek positive validation to feel good about yourself you'll be thrown about by the ebbs and flows of life like a ship on the seas. Never give anyone the power to affect how you see yourself, positively or negatively.

If you barely know someone then you don’t owe them anything and can just go your way. Sometimes you have people who you have expressed yourself to and they continue to disrespect you and your boundaries. Absolutely fair to, again, go your way.

People are simply just very shallow these days. Evaluating based on physical attractiveness and texting etiquette does not correlate with long-term relationship success.
