If you’ve recently been ghosted you are left feeling confused, abandoned, and overcome with self-doubt. Ghosting is the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone suddenly and without explanation, ultimately withdrawing from all communication.
Ghosting has been around since the beginning of time, however with today’s technology it’s more overt and we notice it more quickly. With smartphones, instant messaging, social media, texting, and dating sites, we know when someone has received our message or voicemail but has chosen not to respond. One of the worst feelings is when you see on your text messaging that the person read your text hours ago and chose to not respond, which leaves you wondering why. The “why” is the thing that keeps us guessing, looking for answers, it’s what keeps us up at night.
More often than not, after we’re ghosted we usually do all the wrong things. We reach out to the person numerous times, getting no reply and feeling worse about ourselves. We tend to turn our sadness inward and look for fault in ourselves and we resist meeting new people in fear that they will ghost us as well.
In an effort to help anyone who has experienced or will experience ghosting, I have compiled 5 instrumental steps that you will want to take in order to feel better about the situation and get back on your emotional feet again.
