What is ghosting?

Ghosting refers to the act of suddenly withdrawing from a relationship or communication without any explanation or notice. It commonly happens in romantic relationships but can also happen in friendships or professional situations. The person doing the ghosting stops responding to messages, calls, or emails and disappears without any explanation. Although it may seem like an easy way to end a relationship or confrontation, it can be hurtful to the person being ghosted, leaving them feeling confused, rejected, and wondering what went wrong. Ghosting has become more prevalent due to the increased use of social media and online dating platforms. It is important to communicate clearly and respectfully in all relationships to avoid the hurtful effects of ghosting.
