'Ghosting/ghosted' in real life?

Do we all have that person/people that you didn't ever fall out with, but just... stopped making plans with? How do you feel about it?

I saw someone in the street yesterday I was friends at school with and we were even friends after for a while, we would meet up, go out etc. Then one day, the last time we said 'goodbye, see you later, see you soon' etc, we just never saw each other again.

I saw her coming first and looked down at my phone, concentrated on looking like I was crossing the road (and probably drew more attention than if I carried straight on!) To be honest there's a chance she wouldn't have recognised/registered that it was me.

I doubt there's any hard feelings on either side and if we did notice each other, would just have ignored it but it did make me feel awkward and anxious for a moment.

Have you had it done to you/been the person doing it? Do we all just appreciate that 'it just happens' sometimes? 🤔

I've changed circles a few times through life. Sometimes little gaps just appear in friendships, that allow others in. The gaps widen, and so forth. Not necessarily conscious, or even noticed at first.
