How Does the Ghoster Feel After Ghosting Someone
Most people have been ghosted before, and you may have done it yourself. Ghosting is the act of ending a relationship with someone but not having the courage to tell them face-to-face.
It’s cowardly, sure — but ghosters usually feel bad about their behavior. Of course, that doesn’t make it right, but it helps explain why they did it in the first place.
Ghosts regret ghosting.
If you’re a ghost reading this, don’t beat yourself up too much. Most people on the receiving end of ghosting have probably done the same thing to someone else at some point in their lives (or maybe they still do). Even those who are against it and refuse to participate in ghosting often do it by accident.
It’s human nature to want what we can’t have or what seems like something unobtainable or impossible — we keep trying until we eventually succeed. This is why so many people find themselves getting “darker” when they feel they aren’t getting any closer to their goal: They start downplaying their feelings for fear that this wayward crush will realize how much they like them before they get a chance at winning over their heart with whatever method works best for them.”
