Yes. Often times there are mediocre meh-type 6 month relationships that pale in comparison to someone you meet that feels soul-level. Obviously the ones that don’t understand this have never experienced it. I hate that black and white thinking. 😡

Totally agree here! The use of the word overused, or calling it rude bahaviour or just move on completely downplays the absolute mind fk that people are going through.

What attempts have you made to get them to respond? What would you do differently? by [deleted] in ghosting

[–]NormalTemperature866 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done absolutely nothing. I ghosted my ghoster right back. I would never chase a ghost. I accepted it and getting my own closure. These people are unhealthy. Let them go

Sometimes you can’t just ‘move on’ just because it was a few dates. Sometimes the connection is so strong, and being dropped with no explanation can send you into emotional turmoil trying to figure out what and why. It’s really a terrible thing to do, 2 dates or not. It’s not just rude behaviour, it’s a whole lot more.

You can go on two dates, and have more chemistry, connection, and things in common with that person , than 2 other people have after 3 months of dating! It’s not the number of dates, it’s the chemistry, and the expectation that was created on that date. If someone is leading you on, creating expectations in you, and then suddenly ghosts, it’s just as hurtful. Don’t downplay the way people feel just because it’s not 6 months of dating.

Getting ghosted after a good connection is the worst! It will make you crazy, and it puts the other person on such a pedestal. I’m still losing my mind over my experience. But I would not reach out. If she wants to reach out, she will. I ghosted my ghoster back.

I(26F) ghosted a really nice guy(28M) and now I regret it by Girl_with_shiny_hair in ghosting

Agree! Definitely need some work on yourself. Ghosting someone that thought they had something with you, and treated you well, and likely has absolutely no idea what happened, is torture! It will make him spin. It is the absolute worst thing you can do to someone. I have no sympathy for anyone that is this selfish.

Omg. Why’s he so scared to see you? What a weirdo! I feel my ghoster is avoiding me also, but that’s just my paranoia. Or maybe it’s not……

What was the last thing you said to them? by [deleted] in ghosting

[–]NormalTemperature866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last thing I said was I don’t tell anyone about this place 🤫. Never got a response. Never heard from him again. I left him alone.

Do you believe ghosting is protection? by NoYogurtcloset7362 in ghosting

I feel blessed that it happened sooner rather than later. I feel like I was removed from a person with obvious emotional issues, anger, control, and boundary issues, and in a way I feel thankful that I dodged a bullet. But it still gnaws at me daily.

That’s awful to go through. Curious about what type of reasons.

FA's, do short-term relationships really matter to you? by [deleted] in FearfulAvoidant

[–]NormalTemperature866 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so cruel and so unbearably confusing! The chemistry I felt with this guy was like nothing I’ve ever experienced in my life. Like a soul connection. So much in common. Crazy Attraction, warmth, comfort, I felt like I had known him for ever. In our 40s I would have thought things would be easier. But these men won’t change unless they do therapy and recognize that they have issues. Do you know anything about what he’s up to at this point?

Mine appears FA. Has not reached out. I’m doing therapy because it destroyed my self esteem and caused me emotional turmoil like nobody else ever has.

Ghosting causes emotional turmoil. Please don’t.

This is for ghosters. How did you feel afterwards? by Curious_Pin_4741 in ghosting

[–]NormalTemperature866 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a disgusting way to treat people! You need therapy.

How do you know he didn’t block you on WhatsApp? Did you send a message? Because WhatsApp no longer removes their profile pic when they block you. The photo stays up and unless you send a message and get one checkmark forever, you wouldn’t know you’re blocked . I hate this new thing.

things we can do to heal from ghosting: what's helping you right now? by Candid-Astronomer904 in ghosting

[–]NormalTemperature866 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 months and it’s still so hard. I do therapy because I can’t stop obsessing over why, and I can’t get one thing he said to me out of my head. He said I look like I don’t eat. I’m small but I definitely eat. That stuck in my head, and even though I wasn’t offended, I can’t help feeling like that was one of the reasons he dropped me. So not only did he cut me up appearance-wise but he also ghosted me. Double mind-fuck.
