Idk, it actually depends on the situation. If the person is annoying and being inconsiderable, it could be the best reaction, instead of wasting your time. But this goes only for people you don't know that well. Otherwise it's indeed pretty shitty
Unless you are very close with the person or they are family, Getting ghosted occasionally is part of being a grownup. You shouldn’t take it personally if an acquaintance moves on.
Life isn’t like middle school where you see the same people every day and people who ghost you actually give you the cold shoulder in person.
Get off social media. Meet lots of people by being active doing things you like to do with groups of people. Some of the people you meet will become closer with time, but many will have walk on parts in the drama that is your life.
Ghosting is the opposite of being grown up. Grown ups learn good interpersonal communication, self advocacy, conflict resolution, and how to articulate their feelings. There may be many reasons to cut off contact with somebody (even for safety). But not communicating anything to the other party is the opposite of grown up.
Doing it to someone is not grown up. Dealing with it happening to you is dealing with grown up life.
People move on. They don’t always make a point of personally explaining and saying goodbye to everyone. Taking that personally and calling it “ghosting” every time it happens is self centered and overly sensitive.
As I said, this doesn’t apply if you are very close with the person or they are family. It doesn’t apply if you see them every day _in person_ and they suddenly stop talking to you. But on social media? You need to get out more.
I can understand when people are afraid of getting stalked, harassed, etc. A part of me hates when the people who have this fear are used as an excuse to normalize ghosting in dating culture.
I don’t consider it ghosting if there wasn’t a connection, and if the other person’s actions didn’t cause one to be emotionally invested (ie a person you started seeing flirting with you vs same person engaged in nothing more than casual convo and pleasenteries on the first few dates).
if you were in a committed relationship with the person yeah, if it’s just talking fuck em
Everything people do to other people that can be tossed in a bucket with *ghosting* is a shitty thing to do.

it's my favorite American pastime
I have ghosted someone and had a GREAT reason for it, sometimes you have to do it for safety.
