Do you think it’s ever appropriate to ghost someone ?

The obvious example of it being the right thing to do if you have reasonable cause to fear for your physical well-being. I'd go a step farther as to say that if someone psychologically torments you in a fairly deliberate way, you're free to do it just bc I wouldn't want to put them burden of smoothing things over on the victim who's already struggling.

Upfront and honest, ghosting is sign of week people in my opinion, if you don like me tell me so and i will stop bothering you, it is not the end of the world,

It mostly happened with friends in my life. I’m not confrontational so if someone was standing 2 feet in front of me, I’d probably make up some bullshit lol

No..ghosting is for cowards

People don't realize that sometimes we ghost people because we're undergoing our own development. I have ghosted many. Some have ghosted me. Silence or lack of action speaks louder than words ever could.

And if that ends up our choices, then I just let it. If the person means more to you, you could try reaching out to see what happens. But if they don't, don't be too hurt. Try to wish that person well. Maybe for some reason, they need space.

I have ghosted people for different reasons. When I felt they want from me more than Im willing to give. When I realized they're toxic and left me draining. You don't go out and say to someone, "Sorry but I realized you're bad for my mental and emotional health. I need to take care of me. So please keep distance. I'm putting up a wall for me now." So ghosting it is.

It’s not generally my style, but if I suspect they’ll loose their shit for me bowing out I’ve decided a couple times I’d rather not put myself in that hazardous situation.

Normally I just respectfully end communication though.

Aha, as nice as I am. Sometimes I just don't care about the person enough to even give them that.


I've also noticed that when I'm in a ghosty mood there's a lot of anger behind it lol

Imo just be honest. It saves people wondering. If the person is toxic, then ghosting is fine

No I do not.
Be mature, like an adult and have some care. It's the immature and the cowardly who do that.

Sometimes you're very direct and they still don't get it. Hence, ghosting

I done it but no I don't like it one bit, I mean some people do just pester you 24/7, so without blocking you got no choice but when you been perfectly nice to people I honestly don't see when someone says hello to me every couple of weeks why I can't just take the time to say hello back, its just stupid I mean dont ask people to talk to you then treat them like sh!t.

Yes. In cases of abuse or really toxic people, you owe no explanation for walking away and holding healthy 'no contact' boundaries. I've had to and didn't want to, it really hurt my heart to turn my back but it was so much healthier for me [and him].

i can understand why some people do so, but i really hate when it happens -_-
like, atleast tell me what i did first, you know? :/

Dat pic. 👀

Sure.

If there is *cause* in a legal sense, morally, ethically, your safety, security, health...yes.

For all others/else, I think you have to go by what makes sense for the closeness of the relationship.

You might have a coworker with whom you are much closer than your immediate family, so *that* person might well deserve an explanation/a "goodbye" before your family.

Every pairing is a different relationship; only you can figure out what your own level of connection with someone is, and whether or not they deserve/are owed an explanation. And your own evaluations might be quite different from their evaluations.

No, feel being honest in anything. Ghosting is an ignorant form of attention

It's cruel to be left wondering what you did or didn't do. It says more about them though they must have issues.

Normally telling then would be the best, I think.. There are cases imaginable where that wouldn't work.

If they’re truly being a dick idc but I’d prefer honesty

Yes but usually just with people who aren't emotionally attached to you. Or shitty people.
Older I get the less patience I have for people's personal BS and I'm much happier for it.
It's very contextual though and it's not something I'd usually do.

Under certain circumstances yes

Only if the ghoster was threatened

I think it’s wrong 😑

I want to change my answer to: not unless you are referring to the process of sensually making pottery with them in an off hand way, in which case yes except for in a working relationship. Found that one out the hard way.

Nope

If they cross certain lines then they don't necessarily deserve any explanation or forewarning from you. Also, if they're just a casual acquaintance then you don't owe them much. If they've been good to you and have done nothing terminal then it's a bit shitty to ghost them, but I've done it. I've been a shitty person at times.

It's really a last resort. I may have done it once in my life.

I have been ghosted and it sucks. I can certainly see why people do it when the person they are talking with is toxic but if someone’s toxic I don’t let it get to that point. If you are feeling guilty about your situation don’t ghost, just be honest.

When I ghosht friends and they usually know I'm going through something. Also I will contact them later when I'm better. However, for romantic, if the person is toxic most definitely.
