Ghosting a Loved One

What is “Ghosting”?

My personal uncensored definition of “Ghosting” is leaving someone in the dark, or, never speaking to someone again, without a verbal reason why.

Sounds fucked up, doesn’t it?

It is, and to be honest, I hate being ghosted. In some cases, it can be heartbreaking.

Regretfully, I’ve ghosted three people on the same exact day.

I regret not speaking up for myself, and working through a problem; instead I shut down, and I ran away from an issue rather than tackling it. Ever since that day, the people I’ve ghosted haven’t said a word to me. In fact, they never chased me for an answer. It makes me wonder if I wanted to be chased, and maybe that’s why I ghosted?

I believe most of us like to feel wanted. Doesn’t it make us feel like we’re worthy when someone chases us (emotionally; not physically)?

I miss these people immensely. I think about them every single day, and I have dreams of seeing them again. In my dreams, they are crying and so am I. I just had a dream about one of the three people last night- hence why I am writing this. I wonder if I hurt them? Did they not care to see me go? Three years later, I have so many questions. Do they?

Have you ever been ghosted/ or ghosted someone?
