Getting ghosted in chat feels personal. It usually isn't.
Someone stops replying mid-conversation and the silence feels like a verdict on you. In most cases it has nothing to do with you at all. Here's what's actually going on.
📱
Most ghosting is distraction, not rejection.
A notification came in. They got up to eat. Their flatmate walked in. Online chat is low-commitment by nature — people drift away from conversations for entirely mundane reasons.

Sometimes the conversation just ran out of energy.
Not every chat has a natural ending. Some just slow down and fade. This isn't ghosting with intent — it's two people running out of things to say at the same time.

Occasionally it's avoidance — and that's okay too.
Sometimes someone realises the conversation isn't for them and the easiest exit is silence. On anonymous platforms this is actually fine — no one owes anyone a goodbye.
