Do you find it acceptable? I’ll start

On here or facebook or Twitter someone I don’t really know I find wholly acceptable.

A friend or relative does it, I find it so downright disrespectful

It is a shitty thing to do to someone.

I always tell someone if they have upset me

If I have lost interest for whatever reason

If my plans change etc

Been on the recieving end of ghosting and it is very frustrating

Happened to me just today....to be honest though think I may have dodged a bullet. It is a horrid thing to do to someone, especially with no reason, knocks your confidence and you doubt yourself, perhaps people get a thrill from doing such a shitty thing?

Recently happened to me. Very annoying. If you're not interested, say so!

Having said that, I'd only consider is ghosting after a quite a lot of talking and repeated conversations over a period of time. Otherwise I'd just assume they were simply being friendly and then the conversation was over.

One of our best Fab friends just suddenly stopped replying to our messages earlier this year. We had met, had video chats and messaged each other frequently. Then one day, nothing. No explanation.

She had found a new guy through Fab and we suspect she has turned her back on everthing to do with swinging, including us even though we were purely platonic. It's a real shame. We wouldn't mind if she just explained, but going silent is not a considerate was of treating people.

It's teeth grindly annoying and rude.

If I message a lady and she ignores it, Ok they get hassled on here.

If they reply and say not for me, fine I say thanks for reply and move on.

If they engage in chat for a few weeks, send photos and videos and then nothing. How many messages do you send without reply? That lowers your esteenm and confidence. What did I do or say or whatever. It's hard to convince yourself it's not you but them.

Because it is the easiest way out for them.

I am fine if someone changes their mind. Just tell me that you have made an error in judgement and don't want to pursue anything any longer.

The irony is we would all react a whole lot better to the situation with a little honesty.

I think it’s acceptable when you’re in the VERY early stages of chatting. Sometimes conversations just fizzle out or you change your mind. If you get to get to the point of making plans or if you actually meet, then no it’s not acceptable. It’s so disrespectful and leaves the person who is ghosted questioning what they did wrong usually. It’s really awful.

I totally agrer as it happened just like that. Made a date in my diary to actually meet then boom....ghosted. Though her profile said that she sometimes goes AWOL for a few days with work and family stuff but a few days turned into 4 weeks and couldn't even be bothered to read my last message yet alone reply.

As I said after 4 years of friendship, always being there for someone. Then they don’t tell you anything about what’s happening in there life. Everytime you text to ask if they are ok? They just blank you! It’s not fair, part of me wants to drive over and ask wat the fuck I did wrong

There is no excuse but I don't dwell on it now. I think a week or two just out of politeness is

more than enough to reply. After that delete messages, unfriend and move on.

There's a huge difference between being ghosted (which is truly horrible and soul destroying) and suddenly being ignored (seems very common online)

Just being ignored is rude ... plain and simple, if a conversation fizzles out I don't believe people think about it to be honest as we all tend to be having more than one conversation at a time, this is just lazy and thoughtless but how the world is going unfortunately ... sad

It’s one of them things that has become part of online life, it’s a shitty thing to do of course, usually because the person doing it doesn’t have the heart or decency to say what it is that’s caused the silence, so they just ignore you in the hope that you go away and don’t become a problem, it’s happened to me, probably happened to most on here at some point.

My last relationship ended this way...more a fade than a ghosting, but it fucking hurt all the same. After 12 great months together there was a sudden change in communication that totally threw me as there was no rhyme or reason to it that i was aware of.

The lockdown was a huge factor as we didnt live together and it caused a great deal of stress for him on a personal level because of work and access issues over his daughter, but still, he never really explained why i was no longer important to him.

Is there any wonder we sometimes get accused of being crazy bitches...its things like this which drive us mad!

Some people really cannot grasp how many messages women get.

So many "entitled" men on here.

How is she ghosting you if she has never spoken to you?

Also, in the sense of what OP had written, she doesnt even know you to ignore either.

You probably went in a bulk delete.

Get over it.

I think the worst ones are those who do it, then reappear and try to do it again.

Many years ago I had one who just disappeared after we had met a few times. Then came back as if nothing had happened and expected me to just meet up again. Err no that's not how it works in afraid.

I'll throw my hands in the air and say I'm guilty of this.

Not all the time, not because I think I'm superior or have the power or any of the other negative associations with it.

Sometimes, sometimes my brain gets so overloaded or just plain exhausted that the thought of engaging with another human is enough to reduce me to tears. I know they'll say stuff like "how are you?"

A simple enough question but one which pretty much forces me to think, and when I'm trying to forget or I'm wallowing in my own life loathing, I don't want it. I don't want to worry people because I know full well in a day or a week I'll have snapped out of it.

Am I an insensitive ignoramus?

Or am I simply someone who struggles quite badly at times and needs that space to protect myself?

It ain't always cunt behaviour, sometimes it's no more than being overwhelmed.

OK, this was the last post on that thread.

So you cleared the air then applied the thumb screws by getting arsey coz she didn't reply in a time frame that suited you?

Close friendships don't mean you have to speak every day. If you've never been in a situation where you can't really handle convos with others due to your own head spinning and barely having enough emotional/mental energy to deal with the important problems you're facing and nothing else you've been very fortunate.

I've been known to scream "fuck off and leave me alone" at my phone just for beeping coz I simply haven't got anything in the reserve tank to talk.

Whilst you were writing memory lists, do you not think it may be possible she was doing something similar as far as thinking goes regarding her nan who's dying?.. but you weren't patient enough to give her that grace without kicking off at her.

You've admitted here you've had issues in the past where you've began to isolate yourself, so you do understand it. She spoke to you at work you say, so face to face? Where you had no choice but to face up to it and talk to her. She HAS done the same...

She's told you full well she wants some space, what is it about that you're unable to understand?

She has. She's told you she wants some bloody space and she's upset because her nan is dying.

Then you ask her things like "how is your nan?"

How do you think she is? Fucking dying, thanks for the reminder mate. She's suffering trauma. There's the black n white of it, and grief isn't rational.

What Peach has said is your friend has said she needs space. Give her space. Leave her alone. Let her come to you if she wants but other than that LEAVE HER ALONE.

And if she forgets you then I'm so sorry, but you just have to have a cry, eat ice cream and get wankered with your mates. Because that's what happens sometimes.

If you're that good friends she won't forget you.
