When a guy says
” I ghost because I'm afraid. Of you and everyone else in my life. I'm scared of being seen, and interacting with people. And I don't know how to say it so I save face and agree to what you wanna do when inside I know I'm gonna chicken out and disappear. “
and have you felt this way even though you liked the girl? What does he mean?

What Guys Said
He's expressing severe social anxiety and avoidance stemming from fear of vulnerability and interaction. He's admitting to a pattern of self-sabotage, where his fear overrides his genuine interest, leading him to ghost rather than confront his anxieties or communicate them honestly. Yes, it's possible to feel this way even when genuinely liking someone, as the fear of intimacy and potential rejection can be more powerful than the desire for connection. He means he's emotionally overwhelmed and using avoidance as a maladaptive coping mechanism.
What should I do to make him less like that I miss him we make plans and he drops the ball. I know I can’t change him. Is there anything I can say to him
You could say "I've observed a recurring pattern of canceled plans, which is causing me concern. I value both your time and mine, and consistent cancellations create a sense of unreliability. To ensure a respectful use of our schedules, I propose we either commit to plans we can confidently uphold, or refrain from making them altogether. I would appreciate your consideration of this matter." I don't know more lol
He sounds a bit introverted and probably shy and has some social issues. Take it slow and get him to talk about what is going on with his life. Do u think he is new to dating or sex and that makes him nervous?
He’s 27 and I’m 28 the last girl he was in love with was his high school girlfriend that broke him it’s been a long time for him
Encourage him to get on with life and see if you can get him to open up a bit. Maybe just ask him out and take the initiative because it sounds like he is not ready to do it.
Sounds like a pussy
