It feels personal because you're on the receiving end. But the decision to ghost almost always lives entirely inside the person who does it.
People ghost because saying goodbye feels harder than disappearing. It's an avoidance strategy, not a judgment of your worth.
Anxiety, a crisis, overwhelm — people vanish for reasons that have nothing to do with the conversation they were in.
The real danger of being ghosted is the story you tell yourself about it. Most of those stories are wrong.
The person you haven't met yet isn't the one who ghosted you. Keep the door open.
