Why do I ghost a girl I like when life gets overwhelming, and can I break this cycle?

[Anonymous]

you like a girl, you wanna do stuff together but life gets overwhelming and you become too stressed over life to respond back, then embarrassment comes when you haven't responded and then shame for ignoring the girl and the cycle continues, what does it usually mean and have you done this, and have you ever broken this cycle and how? Was there still attraction just life issues?

yes

no

No, never happened. If you really like someone, they are on your mind. Even if life gets in the way you can communicate about that.
That doesn't mean sending messages multiple times a day, but at least one every two days or so. Depending on the travel/life and the status of the relation.

I wouldn't intentionally ignore someone I'm very interested in. Is it possible he didn't get your message?

He ghosts when life gets stressful then gets embarrassed for not responding then spirals he’s said to me.. He and and I both like each other it’s a cycle and he admits he does it with his family too like his dad who he hasn’t spoken in a month he doesn’t know why he loves and cares about him but he says it’s put a strain in their relationship.

I had something similar. I don't think I intentionally did respond to her, but I did ignore her for too long.
