Why do people just ghost someone for no reason?

A friend of mine from high school (let’s call her Janelle) just suddenly stopped talking to me. She stopped talking to me on November of last year. Last time we talked was I November and we had a great chat but she answered with short answers. So November I texted her to see how she’s doing, BUT she hasn’t texted. I thought she was busy so I left her alone. Then two weeks later I texted Janelle again, STILL no response. I kept texting her every week but NOTHING. Then I stopped for a couple month. She wouldn’t answer. I don’t know if it was something I said. Then I decided to try again in March. I was like, “Hello. Why haven’t you been answering my texts? If it was something I did or what I said, I’m sorry.” But NOTHING. Then today I decided to try one more time. I was like, “Hey Janelle girl, how you doing?”
Then 15 minutes later, she texted, “Hey there! 🙂 Who is this please?”
When I told her it was me, she didn’t answer back. It’s been five hours!
I’m about to give up! WHY WON’T JANELLE ANSWER ME BACK?????!!!!! 😡😤🤬😖👿😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬

Sometimes friendships just run their course.
It is kind of annoying when it happens.

I think sometimes when things happen, some people decide it is easier to just cut things in the clear rather than fight about it.

I know i have had friends in the past that I would just "ghost" because they had a habit of canceling plans.

In this case, it is probably just best to accept the fact that the friendship is over, even if it does hurt.

@CestManan I guess. It hurts very bad. I didn’t do anything. I even apologized

@LaylaTheTallGirl People are not sincere. The older we get, the less serious we take friendships because of that very reason. Like people are cool one day and gone the next.

Plus, even though this isn't quite right but it is like as soon as high school is over, people tend to move on like their friends never even were.

I doubt you did anything wrong, so try not to feel too bad.
I find ghosting to be a cruel and cowardly act. Especially when the ghostee has done nothing wrong. I would only try to contact someone twice and if they don't repond, I won't try again. But I feel like one should at least be informed of what went wrong to be ostracized like that.

When it happened to me, it was by someone I work with, so I saw him everyday, and he acted like I was invisible. It wasn't until a year later, that he informed me his [ex] girlfriend had forbidden his contact with me so it was easier for him to just stop talking to me.

A couple of reasons one reason is attraction is lost or was never truly their in the first place. I was talking to a girl and things were good and she was good looking woman but something was missing and she could feel it too because when I stopped talking to her she never messaged me to see if I was ok or anything like that . Another reason is the relationship is not moving in the right direction.

Janelle never took as much meaning to your friendship as you did upon her. I'm sorry that happened and understand your hurt. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise, cause in truth, when you develop a friendship you do so with the hopes it'll last. She made it clear, she's not there.

Best advice I can give you, is move on.
