Have you ever ghosted someone? Did you feel bad about it?

Question

It wasn't usual ghosting where they guy shows interest and stops suddenly texting and meeting with a girl. I never gave them any sign of 'romantic' interest. I wanted a friend and they misinterpreted that.
Yes. I felt bad. Those girls were very nice and objectively attractive, but I didn't want to hurt them because I had someone or didn't feel any kind of infatuation/excitation while spending time together. As I started to avoid them for the sake of cooling down their interest, no one wanted my friendship that I still offered after some time, but too often was aggression the result.

I have and do semi-regularly. Most of the times it is actually my mental health that means I struggle talking to people online. Sometimes if on dating apps I'll let the conversation die and not feel too bad, more disappointed in myself. Other times I'll send another message a while later explaining things a little. Those that respond seem pretty understanding.

I have, because I didn’t owe that player any explanation after he did me wrong.

He wouldn't take no for answer so I just quit replying.

I'm not sure if what I did could be considered "ghosting". But it does have the features.

Basically, if I'm chatting with someone I'm interested in, and they seem distant, their replies are closed or short, they take longer and longer to respond, or I realize I'm the one always "chasing" them for attention; I will withdraw. I will back off and wait for them to chase me instead. If they don't, I will cut them off from my life.

Perhaps you could say they ghosted me first, perhaps I did the ghosting. I am not sorry if I'm the ghoster in this case. "Do not make someone a priority when they only see you as an option, or do not see you at all (and do not tolerate being an option)". This is a rule I follow diligently in all my relations with people.

Ghosted no, faded away over time yeah, but that's life. I've been ghosted hardcore before, was seeing this girl, one day i'm snapping her asking what she's up to, "oh nothing just with my bf". She sends me a picture of them fucking. WELP. Good thing she did it sooner than later, I got over it relatively quick but that weekend was a mind fuck that I filled with tinder hookups.

I was talking to a guy for awhile, found out he was sexiest af, and way too religious. I told him flat out I didn’t wish to speak to him anymore, he demanded that I owed him an explanation, he physically tracked me down on my way from work (we worked at the same place) and held me hostage until I spoke with him. I guess in his mind, I ghosted him, I’m 99% sure I didn’t though.

I've never ghosted, I prefer to be honest as to why I don't want to talk to someone rather than taking the cowards way out and ghosting.

DeviloftheValleys · Answer

I have. I didn't feel much of anything, the person had little to no significance to me.
