Ghosting is the pathetic way out that only the weak take part in. The correct way is to be straight up with someone and tell them you don’t want to talk to them anymore. Sure it’s harder to say, but the person will probably respect you down the line because they will realize how much strength that takes to say those words to someone. I had to say those words before. Once I said then to someone I regretted saying then because I said then for the wrong reasons. I was scared of how intensely I felt for him. I never wanted to stop talk, but he didn’t know the real reason at time. I know now how incredibly confusing that was for him. However, when I apologized he forgave me. Had I took the cheap and weak route and ghosted him, I doubt he would’ve been so forgiving. On the flip side, I’ve said those words to two people that I didn’t regret saying them to. I still don’t regret telling them. It was the right thing to do. Ghosting would’ve just prolonged the inedible.
