Ghosting: What Is Ghosting, Why Do People Do It, and Is It Ever OK To Ghost?

The Pretty Uncomfortable Podcast

Last night you had the most amazing second date. Things went great and you can't wait to see them again, so you text them to tell them exactly that. You hit send, and your heart flutters in anticipation, waiting for them to respond that they feel the same. A couple minutes go by. Ok, maybe they're in the shower. You've made it to the afternoon, and still no response. Maybe they went out with a friend and they're just not glued to the phone.

The sun has gone down, the sound of those crickets coming from your phone just keep getting louder and you're left wondering, what happened? Did you say something wrong on your date. Did you offend them? They were SO nice, there is no way they would just ignore you.

Did you....did you just get ghosted? It happens to the best of us. The temptation is strong to call the Ghostbusters and get some answers. It's natural to want to reach out again and again, to try to get some sort of an answer. Some sort of closure. But is it worth it?

In this episode I discuss why people ghost, and why it can hurt so damn much. I also explore the idea that there are times that it may be ok to get a little paranormal and do some ghosting of your own, and I share situations where I chose to be the ghost, and why I felt I needed to. Come join the conversation and let me know your thoughts!
