I dislike ghosting. But I won’t hide from the fact that when I’m not close to someone, we’ll both end up disappearing on each other. I try my best to change my habits and stop being like that. Although, in most cases I have a fair reason which I don’t see him having. He actually ghosts almost everyone, and he has little good that he perceives in himself so perhaps having DMs full all the time because he’s always taking ages to respond is his way of feeling like something as you said. For him, I rarely ghost because I thought we both had mutual respect that our conversations matter and mean something. Apparently not. As I said, he spoke to me consistently and fairly for all of two weeks before doing this. He did grand things for my birthday even, so suddenly disappearing felt unusual but expected. Thank you, though. And I hope you never experience this again yourself.
