If it was a friend I would definitely try to reach out again after a while just to check up on them but other than then I’d probably just leave them be and cut my losses.
The only reason I would ever do this is if a situation came up that I absolutely had to. If it was a close family member yeah I may see what’s up that’s a bit different.
Other then that I agree if someone isn’t interested in talking to me. Oh well…. If they’re too big of a coward to just communicate that they don’t want to talk anymore. I don’t need them anyways.
People who genuinely want to be around you don’t ghost you, now at the same time ir someone’s not responding in five minutes or texting someone for instance at 3:30 am when they have to get up for work. That’s another story but if it’s taking days to respond then it’s not even worth my time. If they tell me something is coming up and end the conversation that’s fine.
I also can’t stand people who leave a conversation in the middle of it even if they don’t mean to be annoying. They don’t just simply walk away in real life without saying anything else. It’s not hard to say I have to go eat. Sleep. Do this or that….. I don’t do that to people unless something emergent comes up.
Oh I fully agree! If it was a friend or a family member then I’d definitely try reaching out again multiple times but if it was a love interest then they can f off lol.
Also, great point about leaving mid convo! It’s definitely gonna be very awkward if it were to happen irl lol
Really asker even friends doing it I would probably just leave them be. It just depends.
Now love interest or friend if I knew I did something that hurt them that may be a different story. But other then that absolutely people aren’t worth being in your life or they aren’t even gonna give you the time of dag
Yeah asker that’s kind of the thing it’s very frustrating when someone leaves in the middle of a convo. Without saying goodnight or I gotta to do this or that.
I never try to leave anyone hanging. I don’t want someone anticipating a reply and it never happens
It really depends on the situation. Most of the times I've done that, it's because I simply didn't realized that I was being ghosted. Nothing about the situation was tense or hostile, so the thought that the person might be trying to get rid of me never crossed my mind. I have enough other shit going on in life, that I just never really noticed that the person wasn't responding to me, or that they took a really long time or whatever.
After that, it becomes a point of intellectual curiosity, where I'm fascinated by the fact this person can't stand to be around me. Usually, I get a kick out of making them mildly uncomfortable (because fuck them, by that point).
I agree with what you wrote and have experienced it, too. I gave your comment a "thumbs up."
I was in a relationship with a woman who disappeared on me, only to reappear months later and then repeat the pattern multiple times. It's now where I'm just curious what's going on. Also, I'm confused why her ghosting me doesn't bother me that much.
@Bob92220 It's always such a bizarre thing to watch! Clearly SOMETHING is being taken out on you when it happens. The person wouldn't be ghosting you if they felt like they were able to communicate whatever the issue is.
It's just sad that the person's response is to end the relationship rather than do whatever work needs to be done to move on with their life.
@ProbablyClueless
"The person wouldn't be ghosting you if they felt like they could communicate whatever the issue is."
You are absolutely right! I know the healthiest thing to do is move on and forget about that person, but my curiosity gets the best of me because I would love to know what the issue is/was.
That makes sense. Sometimes the ghosting do happen completely out of nowhere. You could be vibing with a person in one minute and the next poof radio silence… it’s only human nature to be curious and to be asking for some clarity regarding the situation
In my life, it's been most times. The vast majority of times, there's nothing about the situation that would lead me/someone to think I/they was/were about to get ghosted.
I think the clarity is especially important as well in those situations because the entire point of the ghosting is to destroy the relationship. Clarity just makes the situation more palatable for everyone involved. So you've already made up your mind, you clearly don't give the slightest fuck what I think or feel about the situation anyway; why pretend like there needs to be any civility?
I don't ghost people specifically because of that reason. I don't want to run into the person at the store, or find out that they're a friend of someone else I'm dating, or some other stupid shit later.
Nah I leave talking to me up to others, I learned the hard way about growing an attachment to a prick and how communications feel when you want to talk to them but they can't be bothered to talk to you. So if someone ghosts me I usually delete them out of my friends, if they want to talk again they will hit me up and if not well then good bye.
It definitely sucks when you can sense that it’s one sided. If the ghoster were to reach out to you again in the future, would you respond back tho?
Maybe.. it depends. If he literally ignored a message I sent him for months then no I wouldn't but if he just stopped messaging me for a while, I probably would. Tho I would never consider anything with them it is usually just to chat and waste time.
Makes sense. It just sucks how common ghosting has become tho
Yeah I know it has gotten bad.
HA NOPE 😂 but it’s a good laugh. And on the serious note- never give ghosts a chance. They choose not to see me I definitely
won't see them. ✌️
Lol yeah, it’s not like you’re psychic and can see the “dead” 🤷🏻♀️

No. I have some self respect. If they chose to ghost me, it means they deemed me as not worthy of dating them, meaning if they had other options, they'd be likely choose them over me. I refuse to be the fall back guy.
Preach! Conserve your self worth, they don’t deserve your energy
Hell nah. By trying to reach out to a ghoster you look like you want their attention and connection so badly. If somebody drops you, let them have it. And if they try to come back messaging you later on, don't respond. Respect yourself.
Yeah it’s so disrespectful when a ghoster think they can just waltz in as if nothing happened
No. Not only that but I usually ignore it when they try to reach me because 9 times out of 10 they are looking to scam me out of something in my experience. Sometimes you just gotta move on in life.
Oh yeah I hate it when the ghoster comes back as if nothing happened, would never tolerate the disrespect and let them get away with it
Depends on how well I knew them before. If it was someone I'd known for a while, it could be easier to give them the benefit of the doubt that something may have happened. If it was someone I just met, take it as a clear message they don't want to associate with me and honor that wish.
Yes I agree! Sometimes people do ghost when they’re dealing with something so it doesn’t hurt to check
Nope. I have too much self-respect to do that kind of thing. I don't ghost people, so if someone ghosts me and then comes back, they'll get the same treatment.
Yes! You disrespect me then you don’t deserve my respect
m In 1996, my first ever relationship lasted three days, it was met with what you call ghosting the 4th day, I'm very well aware of what it means by now. And the conclusions to draw 😶🌫️
Well that was a short relationship… 😅
Extremely short, and very disappointing when I was, unreasonably, expecting it to be life long !
But I used the cure that is crying, sad songs really helped. And after a week or two, I was back on track, with a positive approach, but my unreasonable expectations took a long time to turn into something more sane lol
In the past, I have, but at this point, I'd probably cut my losses. I'm sorry you got ghosted.
Yeah it’s sad that it happens so often but hey just gotta forget and move on
i've never done it but she reach out to me after a year of ghosting me. I was so desperate for her I replied and we dated again. it did not last long at all.
Did she ever tell you why she ghosted you?
yes I’ll try my best to find out why they ghosted me. I’ll probably give up if they continue to ignore. If it’s somebody i love or care about I will try to find out
That’s understandable. Sometimes you do need the closure or just to confirm that you have indeed been ghosted. How long will you be making an attempt at getting a response tho?
No unless it’s to check on them and see if everything is okay before deciding that they’ve actually ghosted me
Yeah this would be my only reason to reach out one last time. I’ve had a friend who ghosted because she was depressed and suicidal so I’m glad I checked up on her again.
If they mattered to me I would at least once. Twice maximum. If they don't reply after that, I won't bother anymore
Or if they give half assed replies
I’m the same way, sometimes people do shut down and distance themselves when they’re going through something so it doesn’t hurt to check up on them one more time
I didn't think about it like that, but you're right
Honestly at this point I'd do anything to be happy, including trying to get to be around those who ghosted me
It happens, I can relate. Sometimes you just need the closure and would swallow your pride to reach out to a ghoster… Just gotta learn to let go of the people who doesn’t deserve your energy
Maybe once here and there but if they're not enthusiastic about me reaching out I'm moving on.
Yeah don’t wanna be wasting your energy on someone who won’t reciprocate
Hell no. ✂️ The loss. Plenty of other guys out there who will treat you better.
Yep! Ghosting is so immature, but it is necessary in certain situations
Nope. Once trash takes itself out, I leave it be. 🤷🏽♀️
No they ghosted you for a reason learn to live with it
no. fuck them. if they're ghosting me, they're out. it's not a "loss". it's a dodged bullet.
I did. And his number is not working anymore. I think he died from Covid.
Oh no… I hope you’re able to find closure now
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me….
Couldn’t agree more
Ghosting, so-called friend zones. It is all utter nonsense to me. I ignore it all.
Oh HELL nO! If someone ghosted me they can go pound sand.
Never i want my own peace if someone doesn't like me that's not my problem
When I ghost someone, it is forever.
Take a hint.
I have a friend from 42 years ago. I'll not put out another ghost chance.
I have dignity.
Hell no. Ghosting is ultimate disrespect! Respect yourself never reach out to a ghoster
Never. If they want out of my life then that’s exactly what they’re gonna get
I might give one more chance
Does that apply to everyone (friends, family, love interest)?
You ghost me.. your dead to me
Nope waste of time
No I would not.
No, ghosters deserve no second chance.
They blew their shot.
Nope I cut them from my life
Never
As you should
Nope, the people who ghosted me wants never to do with me. it's not worth reaching out to them
What if it was a family member or a really close friend that ghosted you out nowhere?
I don't have a lot of family members or friends. It's just me now. My family and friends passed away a long time ago
Oh I’m so sorry, I hope you and your loved ones can find your peace now
Thanks, life happens
Hell no
Probably not. I would be too insulted.
No, I don't think so.
no never
If they’ve ghosted then they’re dead to you huh
absolutely
There is no friendship between guys and girls… ghosting from a friend? He found a gf… he is doing the right thing by respecting his new woman.
But who knows… you should know if you two were true friends… which doesn’t exist.
@midnightmoon05 Oh I agree, if it was a male friend then I’d back off and respect it. I remember tho, my ex’s “girl best friend” wouldn’t take no for an answer and even started spamming my ex bcs he ghosted her
Hecc no lol
No, that is done
It never goes the way you want it too.
Wouldn’t be worth it
Nope
nah,
No sure tbh
Why not?
Nope!
Nah fuck the cunt
Nope
ha nope
Never.
Never.
