Yes, honestly this is me every single time. I'll have a good few days of chatting with someone and then one pops up and I just stop opening the app until it's gone, and by then they've usually moved on.
Great question, and you are not alone with this. Catching the trigger early is where most of the difference comes from.
Honestly yes, I've ghosted people I actually liked because I couldn't face explaining why I suddenly wasn't free that weekend. Took me way too long to figure out that the ones worth keeping around barely even noticed, and I was the only one making it a big deal.
Yes, every single time. I just let the conversations die for a week and then feel awful restarting them, but honestly the people worth talking to never even noticed I was gone.
Yes, every single time. I once left a really good conversation hanging for a week because I couldn't face a video call, and I still feel a bit silly about it, but it's nice knowing I'm not the only one.
Honestly yes, I basically ghost everyone for a week and then have to awkwardly restart conversations like nothing happened. It helped me a little to realize most people are way less observant than my brain insists they are.
Yeah, I've definitely done that, just ghosted a really promising conversation for a week because I couldn't face explaining why I suddenly didn't want to meet up. It helped me to remember that basically everyone has something flare up at the worst time, and the right person honestly won't care as much as we think they will.
