ghosting-

_A_Real_Mouthful

would you/have you?
was it someone you met online? real life?
was it a friendship that just went awry, or were you in a relationship and got tired of them?

alternatively- if you were the ghostee, are you still angry about it? or did you just have a laugh and move on?

Define ghosting.


eta:

Ahhh, yes. I have been the ghoster and the ghostee. Both in friendships and relationships. Well, technically I was never the ghoster in a relationship but I was ghosted! And I talked to him years later and he didn't even realize what had happened, then subtly asked for topless pics (we were both married to other people at that point).

How about those friendly MFPers who are just suddenly gone? Poof! They commit a mass-ghosting. We notice, ya'll.

takes guts to do a mass ghosting I think. I plan to go that way myself one of these days.

I'll fly the pirate flag at half mast.

I ghosted a "good" friend last year. I feel bad about it but I didn't know how to tell her that she was pyshco and I couldn't deal with it anymore.

Ghosting as in the guys you go on a few dates with and then never hear from them. Yeah had that happen a few times.

So are those pictures posted on the internet anywhere? Link?

I did it to an ex (well, we went on a few dates without "relations) that tried to stay in touch...

I found out she was a serial liar. The last facebook FR she sent let me know she'd gotten married...I feel for that dude.

Ghosted an ex. He shared some seriously disturbingly gross things about himself that I just could not handle. Like not kinky gross but gross gross. Like really really sick gross. We were on and off for three years. I'm an *kitten*.

Not anywhere I can find. If you do find them let me know

Sure I do that. I didn't know people gave the "phenomenon" a name. If I don't want to talk to someone anymore because I feel they are difficult or troublesome or they set off danger signals, I don't. I don't owe them some explanation, because I have found in the past what will happen is, if they have already set off warning signals, they will often whine beg and plead for me to not cut them off, give them a second chance, and I will regret it. Or they get mad at my reasons. Why bother with the drama?

i don't think you can grow older and better as a human until you've done it and had it done to you at least once.

I've done it, but never had it done to me. Does that mean I haven't grown to my full potential as a human?!

I read that as serial killer and agreed with you. Obviously been watching too much Dexter.

no. it has to be soul crushing and ego bruising. like where you go purge a meal or two after.

I could use this, I'm close to my goal weight.

Or maybe you didn't realize it because you ghosted each other at the same time...

_dixiana_

I think I've had it done to me more than I've done it to other people. Bad boys are so overrated.

StacyChrz

Yup, I've ghosted a few people. There are only so many times you can have the same conversation about the same problem in their life and give them the same advice. If they aren't willing to actually move forward I need to walk away.

That's a whole lot of mutual not caring. : (

Iv ghosted a couple of people but some people just don't get the memo
In fact ghosting can make the ghostee come on stronger, hunting you down for an explanation
I remember my mum really wanted to ghost a 'friend' of hers and the woman would appear at my mums door, chapping the letter box trying to get in. My mum would put all the lights off pretending she wasn't home lol
Then came various text messages each one wierder than the last.
Moral of the story, be careful who and how you ghost or you might end up with a stalker.
Ghosting requires skill
