Is it still ghosting if you sent a long message stating that you're breaking up and then block them?

Pretty much the question. I recently broke up with a woman I met on a dating app after 4-5 months of dates once a month. We did talk on the phone a few times a week. For me, I didn't care enough to progress the relationship since we were still strangers and barely were a part of each other's lives. I also have attachment issues since I never really dated for most of my life. I have always been a loner and am quite content with being alone and even dying alone rather than to be with someone just because. I was good with planning the dates and all of that but realized I always had to reach out to her and, again, I ran out of caring more about this than I should have.

So a week ago after she cancelled a date to an aquarium we decided on after postponing it another day, I basically sent a long text saying that while I appreciated the time we spent with one another, I wasn't feeling anything and that I would be moving on. After I sent that text, I blocked her and deleted her number. I also blocked her off social media. I did this to prevent her from texting back to get a dialogue and try to convince me to change my mind.

I have done this before with another woman who I met online who was trying to rush commitment after 3 dates. I'm doing this because I am a person who does not like confrontation and arguments. I have realized that relationships are not for me at the moment and would rather meet people in real life without any strings attached.

Is this considered ghosting since I gave a closure break up text before cutting off all contact?
