Why do people ghost or go MIA?

[cth2188]

Instead of coming out expressing how they feel, why do they ghost or go MIA? It seems childish and immature, plus it's emotionally hurtful 💔..

i didn't have a choice. her sister said a lot of harsh and cruel things saying i was delusional and never dated her sister and her sister was scared of me and other mean spirited stuff. at that point i told her i'd stay away from everyone if she felt that way. i didn't want to come in between her and her family or cause any family problems for her

[cth2188]

Sorry to hear that

Sometimes space sometime perspective other times they might be with somebody else and they’re trying to narrow their choices down

It seems like playing games to me and I don’t entertain anyone like this - quickest way to get cut off for good

[Justneedtokno]

Trust me, I understand and I would do the same thing I’m just trying to understand what the ghost maybe thinking. If they’re ghosting or you don’t hear from them, that’s a good way to just block them. If I don’t hear from you within two days or something chances are you’re out with somebody else and you don’t need to talk to me unless there’s a family emergency but even then I would hope you have the courtesy to say something and that everyone do that I’ve learned

[cth2188]

Yes , I’ll just move on with no disregard - no blocking you’ll never hear from me again

[cth2188]

Unless you have a legitimate reason to why you distant yourself
/ death / health crisis - I had folks tell me they were busy I tell them we’ll stay busy and don’t contact me anymore

[cth2188]

I don’t like ghosters
