i apologized and she hates me. But why do i feel so good about it?

[Anonymous]

Why because it hurts someone's feelings?
Because it's rude?
So does rejecting somone but people do that. And they should if they're not interested.
I had a woman accuse me of ghosting her because she showed interest in me and i didn't return it. That's not ghosting, that's rejection. Ghosting is starting something and then changing your mind and walking away leaving the other person hanging.

Let's just be honest while it's not a nice thing to do people are going to ghost because it's just easier most the time.

I'm guessing it's becase it was a little payback for any wrong womwn have done to you. And the fact that she won't accept your apology means you genuinely got to her.

Does an apology atone for your sin?

[stormbreaker06]

kinda

[OlderAndWiser]

Based on whose judgment?

[stormbreaker06]

based on my actions which was immature despite having valid reasons for ghosting.

Here's what I think, if you're ghosting me, don't text me to apologize. Firstly because I will not respond, the only way that someone is allowed back into my life after ghosting me is if they have the courage to come and talk to me in person, but don't text me some flimsy ass excuse. Also simply because I accept your apology it doesn't mean that we're back to where we used to be, because now I don't trust you, and now you've disappointed me. So basically don't ghost, because it will be worse for you than it is for me.

Yes, have some respect. Why? Because it's the right and strong thing to do to lead by example. Too many people are weak and spiral into the negativity creating a more and more narcissistic society. If that's the world they want to create for themselves and their loved ones/kids or whatever then let them carry on. But for the strong ones amongst us who are smart enough to know better, errrr yeah, no thanks.

LEAD BY EXAMPLE UNLESS YOU'RE WEAK.

[Cynicaldreamer]

Nope. While I absolutely hate it, you know why they do it: they're not interested in you or want to talk to you.

Why would I want some fake or insincere apology? If anything I rather they just say, "Hey, I'm really not feeling it, so maybe we shouldn't talk anymore. I enjoyed getting to know you, or, sorry for wasting your time..." something along those lines.

[ChronicThinker]

Not if you don't plan on continuing any sort of relationship with them.

How To Apologize After Ghosting Someone

We've all been there before - you meet someone, you hit it off, you exchange numbers... and then you completely ghost them. It's not the most honorable thing to do, but it happens. If you find yourself in this situation, the best thing you can do is apologize.

But how do you go about doing that?

• First, it's important to realize that ghosting is generally not taken well. The person you've ghosted is likely to be hurt, confused, and even angry. So, it's important to be as sincere as possible in your apology.
• Start by reaching out to the person you ghosted and express your regret for your actions. Take responsibility for your behavior and explain that you understand why it was hurtful.
• Then, offer a sincere apology. This is not the time to make excuses or try to rationalize your behavior. Simply say that you're sorry and that you'll do your best to make things right.
• Finally, ask for forgiveness. This may be the hardest part, but it's important to humble yourself and give the other person the opportunity to forgive you.

Ghosting someone is never easy, but with a sincere apology, you can start to repair the damage you've done.

Should I apologize for ghosting someone?

It's a tough question, and there's no easy answer. On one hand, you may feel like you did nothing wrong and don't owe the person an apology. On the other hand, you may feel bad about the way you handled the situation and want to reach out to the person to apologize.

There's no right or wrong answer, but there are a few things to consider before making a decision:

• First, ask yourself why you ghosted the person in the first place. If it was because you were simply not interested in them, then an apology may not be necessary. However, if you ghosted because you were afraid of rejection or you felt like the person wasn't a good match for you, an apology may be in order.
• Second, think about how the person you ghosted feels. They may be hurt, confused, and even angry. If you're not sure how they feel, it's best to err on the side of caution and apologize.
• Finally, consider your own conscience. If you're bothered by the way you handled the situation, an apology is probably the right move. Even if the person you ghosted is okay with what happened, you'll likely feel better if you apologize.

So, should you apologize for ghosting someone?

It depends. If you're not sure, err on the side of caution and reach out to the person to say you're sorry.

How do you reconnect after ghosting?

When you've been ghosted, it can feel like a big rejection. You may feel hurt, confused, and even angry. But there are ways to move on.

If you want to reconnect with the person who ghosted you, there are a few things you can do:

• First, try reaching out to them directly. If you don't get a response, don't take it personally. They may just need some time.
• If you're still struggling to move on, talk to a friend or therapist about what you're going through. They can offer support and help you find healthy ways to cope with your feelings.

[Logorithim]

That would be the respectful thing to do

[NaomixSuicide]

Yes, I def think it’s respectful & I’ve had a guy tell me he was having issues with an ex & I completely understood. I’d never attempt to date him because I feel like he’d be the type to leave or go ghost again. We’re friends now though.

[SexyAshh]

If they were to come back and explain because they wanted to make it work, yes. Just a random out of the blue apology though, no. The whole point of ghosting is to not have to go through explanations..

[Michelleshalley]

Lots of people like to do it although I think it's very silly

[TacosRAwesome]

No unless you bump into them but contacting them to apologise gives them false hope.

[Anonymous]

I apologized before I disappeared, and even after, I did.

[Secret6620]

No. That's their personal choice

[PrincessGrail]

Definitely

[MarketData]

It's not ghosting if you apologise.

[stormbreaker06]

Umm ok

[ivanhunterjo]

yes, definitely
