Is ghosting nowadays a common trend?

[ChicanaChick]

I don't do that but had this done on me several times. I hate it. If I'm not interested or undergoing through a hard time, I'm straight forward about it.

My parents aren't the type to ghost people. They were shocked when a family friend ghosted them suddenly. It took many months later to find out that friend was undergoing a crisis. They still thought he should've said something instead of disappearing and saying nothing for many months.

Is ghosting nowadays the new trend? The new from of ''communication'', lol?

Apparently it is. people these days lack the respect, manners, courtesy, as well as courage for confrontation. Why do you think micro aggressions are an offense in some circles?

[ChicanaChick]

True

Thanks for MHO

Having no manners, no etiquette and no common sense are the current trends. So that’s a part.

[ChicanaChick]

yeah it's a sad generation

Disrespect is becoming more common. People don’t get it so they feel they don’t need to give it.

[ChicanaChick]

yes it's so unfortunately. My parents are disappointed with this growing generation of disrespectful people.

[Brando10222]

Yeah, people ghost a lot these days. They don't care much about others. It's hard when someone ghosts but I'm kinda use to it now cause I don't expect much from people.

[ChicanaChick]

It's a sad generation indeed.

[Brando10222]

Yeah, it definitely is. Can I dm you I want to ask something?

[ChicanaChick]

It's been a trending thing for awhile.

[ChicanaChick]

true and it's sad. People with no manners nor respect is common. Sad

[LimitedBenefits101]

It's not a trend, it's perfectly normal

[ChicanaChick]

I don't do it though. I'd rather be told ''not interested'' than getting led on when you've had a great chat, the date is good or you're talking with a friend to all of them sudden get ghosted.

[Redstang88]

Seems like it

[ChicanaChick]

it's sad
