I am fascinated with the concept of ghosting. I don't like being ghosted. I feel it's deeply disrespectful to ghost anybody. Once, somebody was quite rude to me. I was supposed to go to their birthday party, I told them that my car needed to be fixed which they knew to be true. I just didn't want to fix my car for that day because I didn't want to be their friend anymore since they disrespected me. Anyways, I didn't show up so they accused me of ghosting them. When I refer to ghosting, I am specifically referring to the term used when somebody will all of a sudden avoid another person without any warning even if a specific schedule was supposed to be arranged. Anyways, what are your opinions on ghosting?????

I was under the impression that ghosting someone meant spontaneously disappearing from their life without any explanation, especially when it comes to phone calls and texting. what you describe just sounds like not wanting to associate with someone anymore, so gradually distancing yourself, which sucks when it happens, but is an unavoidable part of socializing.

I think ghosting is pretty rude. At the same time, as someone said below, some people don’t handle rejection graciously. some people become combative and even dangerous.
