Is ghosting someone ever justified? If so, when is it okay?

[ClosetHoe]

Yes, ghosting CAN be justified sometimes.

No, ghosting is NEVER justified.

Other?

[LordSnuggles]

I ghosted someone that I wasn't particularly close with. We didn't really connect and had know each other a short time. They'll take the hint. In a previous case, I decided to tell them I wasn't feeling it which turned into hours of explanation. A lot of times people just can't handle it so ghosting is the humane thing to dom

[OlderAndWiser]

I can envision circumstances in which you discover that your partner represents a clear and present danger to your personal safety and ghosting would be justified, but those circumstances would arise very infrequently.

[HomoFuge]

Ghosting can be justified in certain situations. Traumatic events like rape, car accidents etc. might make you not want to talk to anyone for a while. People are hardly going to tell someone they barely know about this so they find it easier to just ghost them until they feel ready to date again.

[ClearerAtN1ght]

Possibly if someone were off warnings that they maybe dangerous to you.

But mostly I feel most people deserve at least an I'm not interested text. Even if you have to block you outgoing number because you don't want them to have yours

[Máiiréad]

When they stalk you.
When they threaten and harass you.
When they just won't give you space.
When they don't respect your boundaries.

It depends how evil or selfish the person is - if they are jerks - ghosting is okay.

[Derick529]

It's only okay IF you've made it clear and the person still keeps on going after many tries. Normally its not the best way to avoid situations, however, the other person may not know the things that you've been through so you should at least say things like "bad experience".

If you don't make the message clear, it can be misinterpreted and can go out of hand (they might go stalking, harassing, etc.). Be careful with that.

[Frogazz]

Sometimes life hits you hard and "ghosting" is an effect that occurs. Sometimes people have severe anxiety that hinders social interaction. Ignoring someone because of preference is attrotious however if you've spoken your mind about not wanting certain type of communication and they persist then there is viable ground. Turning your back on the ones that love you for no particular reason is obserd and greatly frowned upon.

[Funlovinggirl82]

If u tell someone repeatedly to leave u alone or that ur not intrested and they keep pushing its fine to ghost

[md_tilley]

Ghosting shouldn't be a thing because of the psychological aspect behind it. It can affect people pretty badly. I don't think it should be justified ever.

[luvstoned4him]

well if you have already explained why it won't work and they keep pushing or coming off creepy or rude then thats that

[Anonymous]

being ghosted after 4 months of talking and just because he was “too busy” and didn’t even communicate just that he was, is bs. ghosting is never justified because all you have to do is send a single text to let them know you’re not interested or that you don’t have time, don’t just not communicate with them because you think it’s easier, just man up and tell them instead of being scared

[Cybernizer]

I would never ghost someone, I would at least leave a truthful and brutal message of why I am no longer going to talk to them.

[BestUserName100]

If they are to slutty. And act worse then most guys. If you aren’t compatible etc.

[Creepazoid]

If they are a stalker or if you don't feel safe around them.

[RHK36]

Go with your gut instinct. Don't worry about the perception of your actions.

[Jltakk]

Ghosting or flaking is never justified. Its a bitch move. Communicate that you're not interested. Do not send mixed messages.

[13IsALuckyNumber]

If the person refuses to listen to your needs and are being incredibly disrespectful.

[Ray_Lala]

When they are stubborn and not ready to listen to you.

[Anonymous]

Yes when you find out the girls is a gold digger or an attention whore

[1965199820002003]

Only if the other person is being quite aggressive or won’t take a clear hint

[Anonymous]

I dont understand why someone would ghost when it's so easy to just say you're not interested anymore

[MysteriousDarkness]

If you got a brain injury and do not remember talking to a certain person.

[loveslongnails]

Such a "first world problem" LOL. does it matter?

[Agem123]

If you guys are not official yet.

[Optymistyk]

If you made plans with a colleague to go play tennis together and he didn't come and didn't tell you then I guess it's fine because you're not oficial friends yet

[Agem123]

I think she meant in a romantic way.

[Optymistyk]

What's the difference there's a person on the other side and it feels really shitty to be set up like that. It's really unlikeable behavior

[drifted4]

When its not youdiing it

[slurreyboy]

It's slimy

[Sasuke124]

Being ghosted sucks.
