Ghosted…. Who hasn’t been? And if you really think about it, it’s not just being Ghosted by a partner/lover. Family and friends are just as quilty of this act. I have no idea where this term came from. But dang it, it’s HORRIBLE. Why can’t people just be clear, be open, be honest about their feelings with someone? What is so hard about that? Isn’t that what we were taught, to tell the truth? It escapes me when I hear about someone who has gone through this. I listen and try and see where their Ghosting experience is similar to many I have been through. And if I can gain any knowledge, in case I go through it, yet once again.
This is perhaps why I am still single. It’s been a long time since I have been in a relationship, and all that comes with it. The last one I was Ghosted, so badly, I found out 2 weeks after no phone calls, no text messages, ZIP, that he had gotten a hugh pay cut and decided to move back down south. Humm and you didn’t think to let the women you were exclusive with about your plan? I mean who does this? What adult man or woman would think this is ok? Clearly this guy thought it was fine, leaving me hang from his last message until finally 2 weeks later to get the so called full story. Just unbelievable. What’s really sad about Ghosting, is it can happen to anyone, anytime and because it’s happened more often than not, our guard is up, and we are more cautious then ever. Sometimes so much, you end up missing opportunities, because those walls are up and strong.
I like to believe most of us were brought up to treat others with respect, tell the truth, and be honest. Where and when did this fall short in society today?
Here is what I know…… Be better!
