Have you ever ghosted someone?

Question

Citizenkirk · Accepted Answer

Sure, in Panama, Kuwait, Iran, Seria, Guatemala, Iran, Thailand, and a couple places I had too turn my dog tags in before being dropped below the radar curtain.
Saying that's classified, sounds like a lame cliche,🙄 and I wasn't a Military intelligence officer (had to taxi them around the Islands often enough though) so I don't like talking that way, anyway. So I said had to turn in my dog tags before deployment, that pretty much says it right there.
By the way🌴⚡
You were referring too wet🩸work, weren't you🤨?

Almost. I tried to, once. This one girl said something that really pissed me off. Since I wasn't her type, I didn't want to talk to her anymore, but at the same time, if I did, I would've lashed out at her and been pretty rude. She wouldn't leave me alone, though. Eventually, I did respond back to her, and let her know how I feel and didn't want to ever talk to her again, but said it in a polite, more respectful way than how I was feeling, at the time. So besides her, I have never come close to ghosting anyone before.

Is said yes but I only have for tinder matches that I talked to a few messages back and forth. If we met in person I have never ghosted anyone. And if I didn’t want to continue I always give them a respectful closure/reason so they can move on.

I never ghosted someone but like after someone's done me wrong, and I'm really hurt, I usually just disappear. I block, stop answering their phonecalls... I wouldn't say it's ghosting because they know they induced that reaction out of me.

Sun_Kim-Ai · Answer

Sadly, yes.
It was because they had gotten so negative and toxic about pretty much everything that I fel the need to completely disengage from them. I tried my best to support them and get them out of a rough patch, but everything I did and tried was never enough, and for them I was nothing but a sponge on which unload their problems, not a support and helpful friend.

So, even though I'm perfectly willing to put myself on the line and invest time and resources to help someone who needs it, I'm not willing to be a walking punchball for someone to take out their frustrations on.

Browneye57 · Answer

I have not, but it's not uncommon. Especially when the girl has proven to be mentally unstable. You've already argued to death what's wrong with the relationship, but nothing changes, so you walk out. There's no point in discussing it further, you just leave.
Women will stalk you, feign pregnancy, show up at your job, lie to your friends and family, embarass you on social media. So what's the point, really?
A brief announcement is in order, best done by phone or face to face, something simple like:
"I can't do this anymore, it's over."
I'm done, it's over. Goodbye.
We're done, it's over.
No more explanation is needed, no blaming or finger-pointing, just be done. Cease all contact.

We have a rule for guys - don't stick your dick in BSC.

CringeKing8228 · Answer

Yeah, I'm afraid I have and I felt bad about it after but it was the easy way out of telling them they were just a hookup and I didn't actually like them. You wanna actually tell them that personally that's your funeral honestly and you just do that but in my experience people don't like being told those things and it creates friction between us. I'd rather just cut them off and make it easy

Dvchill · Answer

I have done this on a few occasions but never intentionally. I open the message like when going into work or something like that. Get done with the task and forget.., like 2 weeks later think what ever happened to such and such… I liked talking with them. Find out ima jackass 😂😂

TwistedSukuna · Answer

I ghosted this really obsessive girl I met on Xbox, like I was just tryna be friends and apparently she told my buddy she was gonna try and steal me from my at the time girlfriend. Blocked her immediately.

TwinkleLily5 · Answer

I have ghosted plenty of times when I was younger and dating, but not intentionally, it was usually because I started talking to someone I was more interested in and replied less and lesser to the other person until I would just forget to reply, I’m not proud of it now but that’s how it went.

Coulis · Answer

Had awkward convos. Had stalkers as a result. Had a dude cry in front of me but never ever ever have I ghosted someone. That's cowardly and heartless.

luvisrager · Answer

Yes, because it got to the point where they kept bugging and I didn’t want to seem rude. But I should’ve just said the truth from the start.
Also I have been ghosted before as well. It’s not the best feeling

AgentRED · Answer

I’ve been ghosted before so I started doing it just to be an asshole or when I genuinely do not like someone.

After 7 years talking to this one girl after being rejected when I asked her out and did the most stupid thing to still be friends with her, one morning I woke up angry so I just blocked her.

readyplayer001 · Answer

no, an adult talks it out. a coward ghosts because they cannot handle the situation

The_Outlaw · Answer

No, but I've been in those shoes once. I did, however strongly consider ghosting someone that was WELL more than worth it. I didn't in the end and while it's wrong, sometimes it's justified if they're rude or disrespectful.

dustybiker · Answer

Only after being very clear where I stood. Some people can be very thick.

insignificant_person · Answer

Yes. May times. Sometimes I ghosted random people who messaged me. Sometimes those who I know.

Or I ghosted even my best friend who was annoying me with sending him done homework. I helped him many times but I don't want to do whole homework alone and then sending him because he is lazy.

Xylem1992 · Answer

yeah I'm not proud of it. I had the talk. Broke up with her. Then she started sending me really long messages and calling me day and night. I tried telling her to stop and that things are over. This was futile. So I had to stop answering altogether. Which is unfortunate because I had to see her everyday.

beebella · Answer

Yeah, several people. I've been ghosted before as well.

Anonymous · Answer

Sadly yes  But I got to say I got the karma back to I have also been ghosted! However when I ghost guys it’s because I know their mind and what they want meaning I ghost “bad” guys..

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I've ghosted girls who plainly would bully me and I wasn't taking it so when they were down and out I just ghosted them.. You ever notice when people want something after they treat you like shit well that is the kind of ghosting I'm talking about.

sazsazkingg · Answer

Yes. I said “no stop” twice loudly during sex. He didn’t stop. I ghosted very hard. Still trying to get over the effects of him not stopping.

Iron_Man · Answer

For three days the silent treatment for discipline reasons

Anonymous · Answer

I warned her before that, she took it as joke until one day I was done now she's regret and changed to quiet girl and want me to back with her I'm thankful she doesn't know my place and my work place.

Ghosting is last solution generally but it's so powerful the correct way is wiping everything that she have access to see you block doesn't do much
