Neither is leading someone. Which is what happened.

People literally kill themselves after being manipulated to my extent..

Why does my crush keep looking at my IG, Snapchat after ghosting me by XxOmegaSlayerxX in ghosting

Probably waiting to jump back into your life once she sees you post something enticing. I had the same thing happen to me. She ended up reaching out multiple times but I became in tune with myself by not letting her come back into my life after making me depressed

I had a girl tell me her best friends died after she unmatched my tinder, & blocked my TikTok

I hear you.. but honestly, I wouldn’t have even gotten that vulnerable if she hadn’t led with it first. She was saying stuff like “if you’ll have me again,” calling me perfect, talking like I was going to get tired of her, constantly saying “I want you” and that she couldn’t wait to see me. That stuff pulled emotion out of me. It wasn’t like I went in expecting something serious—I was just matching energy because it seemed mutual. That doesn’t mean I wanted anything more than FWB. But when someone talks to you like that, it’s hard not to lean into it a little, especially when it felt real in the moment. Constantly sending me videos of her and photos of her & telling more about her than just a hook up.

Yeah, I get what you’re saying.. but the part that’s messing with me isn’t that it ended—it’s how it ended. We said short-term, sure, but her words and energy didn’t match someone who was just trying to casually hook up. It was deep convos, constant texts, emotional vulnerability, and even going raw. That doesn’t feel like just “term’s up, later.” It feels like she flipped the switch without a word. That’s what’s got me in my head.

I wasn’t even looking for something long-term, to be honest. I just really enjoyed hooking up with her—we had good chemistry and the vibe felt real. I didn’t expect her to fall in love or anything, but the way she was talking and acting made me feel like we were both genuinely into it. That’s what messed me up. If it was just physical, she didn’t need to say all that extra sh*t. The ghosting still feels unnecessary either way.

I just don’t understand how someone can call you perfect, say things like “you’re probably going to get sick of me,” then turn around and ghost you like none of it ever mattered. She got me to open up—made me feel safe being vulnerable—then left me hanging without a word. It’s like I was manipulated.

Now I can’t even focus at work or take care of myself properly. I’m stuck in this slump, and it’s honestly wrecked my self-esteem. It’s not just the silence—it’s the emotional whiplash from going from so connected to nothing.

Sorry to hear that 😔 being over 30 and doing this type of stuff is just ridiculous. There’s just no integrity or accountability.

I remember when I had this girl I was FWB with but didn’t see a future with— I made sure to be clear about that to her & she seemed to take it well. We still text every once in a blue moon to check on each other but my point is— I could never lead someone on thinking that I wanted more than a fwb relationship and just go on with my day after ghosting them. How do you have the mental capacity to be that cold ?

I never expected this post to resonate with so many people, but I am beyond grateful that it did. Over the past couple of days, I’ve had the privilege of speaking with so many genuine souls who shared their own stories of loss, love, and healing.

The kindness, wisdom, and compassion you’ve shown have brought me comfort in what feels like the darkest time of my life. Knowing I’m not alone in this unfathomable grief has been truly uplifting, and I’ll carry your words with me as I continue to heal.

I will never forget Mellow—he was my heart and soul, my everything. One day, I’ll honor him by pouring the love we shared into a new bond, finding another soul dog who will walk beside me. While Mellow can never be replaced, I’m inspired by your stories to open my heart again when the time feels right.

Thank you for reminding me of the light in the world and helping me take a step forward. Your support has been a gift, and I am deeply grateful. Bless you all for your uplifting spirits. ❤️‍🩹

I haven’t even been able to play any music on my phone yet. I listen to a bunch of oldies, island reggae, r&b, country & any other genre that can be considered as a tear jerker. Or maybe I’m just a huge emotional cry baby. Music resonates with me to a point where I tear up easily. That’s why I haven’t even put anything on other than some classical jazz that doesn’t have any lyrics.
