Search Results: being strung along

I see people complain about being ghosted and others complain about the friend-zone so I thought yo myself.

If you had no alternatives which would you choose?

I’d preferably be ghosted, at least I know you don’t or have never particularly cared for me. This making it easier for me to move on. It seems to be the most honest way of say nothing.

If I were strung along/friend zoned, the person would know how I think to just keep around barely. It’d take a lot of willpower to be able to break said manipulation as it’s not like I know if they actually care for me anyway.

I know that the friend-zone and strung along aren’t mutually exclusive but they both take willpower to escape so I want to kind of categorize them similarly.
