    I think it can be either of those things, some people just don't feel like speaking anymore because it's exhausting getting little communication back, or they just don't have the guts to tell someone they're not interested. There can definitely be a few reasons behind it.

    I say cowards. I always tell people this, I don't bite just tell me I won't be mad, so ghosting someone is just kinda a I'm too scared to say anything and a big fuck you.

      @AnusNdaPainus I can promise you, getting ghosted hurts so much more, a little part of you will always wonder why you weren't good enough. Yes they will still be hurt but it will be easier to get over

      No it won’t because ghosting is the nicest way to let a person know you aren’t interested the reason doesn’t matter

      You’d be much more hurt if some said to your face “ You are ugly and fat I do not like you “

      @AnusNdaPainus I would so much rather someone tell me im ugly and fat and that they dont like me than ghost me
      I would rather someone use my deepest secret against me than ghost me

      Why do want to be with from someone who clearly doesn’t want to be with you

      Rejection is rejection you sound like an entitled child

      NEWFLASH you are not THAT interesting and not everyone you meet will like you

      People like you are why ghosting exists because you definitely could not handle face to face rejection

      What do you expect to gain? It’s rejection regardless the method doesn’t change the outcome

      The world doesn’t owe you understanding

      Do you comprehend that there is nothing you can do about ghosting? But get over it.

    Possibly cowardly. But I might just ghost if the person was annoying. One girl would send 300 text messages between 1 am and 3 am. Even then I just turned my phone off massed deleted her texts in the morning. If she expected me respond she was highly delusional.

    you know how you can come back to a fire long after it has burned out and dig through the ashes to still find some glowing material that can start a new flame?

    you could see ghosting like going away from a fire that you may wanna turn back to much later.

    Some times its just not worth that last piece of drama that the woman wants, for instance my last relationship I found out that she was cheating on me, we both had our own places, so I policed any of my stuff that I'd left at her place, and at the same time dropped of what she'd left at mine, I left a note on her kitchen table "I know about the affair, We are done, Do not contact me" with my key to her place on top of it, left her place and moved on with life, and never looked back.

    I believe it because people are afraid of getting her and falling in love, and are very emotionally disconnected nowadays. I believe that’s the main reason for friends with benefits Situationships or whatever you wanna call it everyone is afraid to get to close and Wahl mom because they’ve been severely hurt by an ex, I had a friends with benefit for over a year, and he even told me that

    In general cowards, but I can see some occasions where ghosting and moving without leaving a forwarding address might be the best option for dealing with a nutcase.

      Being reluctant though isn't a choice that they make it's a feeling before a choice needs to be made. I'm asking about the choice.

      The feeling will influence what choice is made. I am suggesting that among the people that feel reluctant, ghosting is more likely to occur.
