"Please don't talk to me ever again" - it's better to say this or just ghost?

I admit I find somewhat romantic the idea of disappearing not only from that person, but from everyone else.
Like - "he stepped out to go to work one morning and nobody ever saw or heard from him again. From that day onwards, no trace of him would ever been found."

I haven't the faintest intention to be found, alive or dead.

Say it. Being ghosted really really hurts. I've been ghosted by someone I loved and I cried every day for 3 months straight. It made me feel like what we had meant nothing to him he eventually did come back and apologize and we're on good terms now but not like we used to be. So yeah dont be selfish and spare yourself 2 minutes of being uncomfortable at another person's expense. They might not be able to get over it easily they will always wonder what they did wrong and it will cause them a lot of emotional suffering

I would ghost.
Because I live in community, where most men just can't accept that relationship is ended or any kind of rejection. They start whining, chasing and become even more annoying. More you talk to them and explain, more clingy they become.
So better ghost

[Elsa143]

You're correct. I hate my ex so much. He lied and manipulated me. The more I explained, the more he became clingy, demanding for my attention. He's a selfish crap. So now I blocked him everywhere

Always say. If you don't like someone tell them to get lost pretty simple helps life a lot. The only time to ghost really is if that person is just kinda lowkey to dumb to understand. Like this girl at my collage she has messaged me pretty much everyday with a hi, I told i didn't want to speak to her really out of collage cause frankly we have nothing in common. Guess who still messages me? Smh

Just disappearing like that is abusive tho it's intentionally making them think you got killed or something bad happen and makes them worry. Or that you just left everything cause you don't care.
That's not romantic. Just a dark morbid story.

Ghosting is extremely rude and leaves unanswered questions, which in turn will cause some internet stalking.
People that weren't worth it will threaten you or verbally assault you if you don't ghost. However, I'd just make sure I got a response at least (and maybe read it) before deleting them out of my life.

If you can end the conversation or friendship in a sweet way - its better - ghosting hurts more than almost all words in my view

Please say it. Keeping someone waiting is wasting time. We earn respect by respecting others.

If u care even a little about that person... and if u think it'll hurt them... I guess u should say that.. and even more if they want to know more...
It's cruel to leave a person without giving them any closure...
Happened to me twice and took me years to get out of it...
When it was my time to break it, I took days... Responded to every doubt she had... That's the least I can do...
But if u don't care at all... even then... say that and then ghost...

[TheLittleInnocent]

I do either depending on the situation. There some people who won’t go away from simply ghosting and those you can’t just avoid because you see them to often

[GraveDoll]

I would say lets go our separate ways. nothing personal. keep it short and to the point.

I think it will be more like a confirmation, so if they do bother you in the future. you can than ignored. After all, you were polite enough to part ways with no questions left.

[HeyMikeyLikesIt]

I would say it once and then stop responding. Even though the other person knows this already and keeps trying to text you, if they don’t have closure or a complete understanding that your done with them, let em know instead of them wondering what happened

[proNutro]

Being open and honest is the way to go. Even if you’re ending things, communication is still so important.

[amyba]

If you treat me like crap you deserve to be ghosted but it all depends if we just spoke online blocked or ghosted. if I know you face to face and you know my friends then I would have to say don't talk to me again because you mite start asking my friends about me

[TheDementedSinner]

Being ghosted typically messes with a person's mental health way more and leaves a longer lasting effect on it - unless you're some sort of psychopath that enjoys torturing others you should always give closure to them

[1stranger]

There is a saying. Don't do things to others that you don't want to be done to yourself.
Better to say (But I think this is not the appropriate sentence.).
Disappearing without notice is a bad and disrespectful behavior.

[DavidHart]

Say it..
However women are complicated..
Sometimes they said not to talk to them again,
but deep in heart, they still want it.

[Licia_hersheys]

Say that don’t any communication with them anymore, tell them why then stop talking to them. Never “just ghost” someone, it could leave them wondering what they did wrong for a good minute.

If it comes to the end of a road with a relationship that's toxic to me (may it be a lover, friend or even family member), I'd strait up tell the person that I find it best we cut off ties then just ghosting them cold.

[FireRedPikachu]

I never understood Ghosting someone? It is so much better to say "I dont have any more interest in commicating with you please delete my number and soicals.

[MrCheese]

It really depends. If the person you are talking to is giving you the hebety jeebities then say it and screen shot it (in case anything happens). If it's a one off thing then ghosting is reasonable. If it's out of a reasonable relationship tell the person how you feel and then break up. If they know what they are doing they can start to fix it.

[Snakeyes7]

I mean what’s the harm in doing so? In most cases when you do it you probably never met the person so what are they gonna do?

[girlzruleboyzdrool]

Sometimes it’s good to ghost
I’ve done it lots and just left people behind when I had to
running away and not looking behind is the best way to really get free
then start over

[BackAgain602]

I think it's better to tell them that; you'll give that person closure.

[2Pink]

I agree. Instead of just having them wonder if your phone service is off or you died and when you might be returning. Plus when ending a relationship of any kind on good terms it can benefit you later on.

[jgokgotit]

It is better to tell someone to never talk to you again rather than just ghost. The message is much clearer.

[jhnny1331]

okay how do you feel about the situation do you want some of these ghosts you or do you wish you could further just came and told you up front that they did not talk anymore doesn't being ghosted and have a bunch of unanswered questions?
