These questions presented themselves from within the recent tread about new users not responding to our writings or advice (originated within ‘Anybody need some advice from the voice of reason ?)
“Ghosting” is when someone just doesn’t respond to you at all despite you fully expecting them to do so, in any event. I would distinguish "ghosting" from blocking or outright ignoring someone. I would equate the feeling of "ghosting" to feeling like you have been overtly given the advice to "take the hint, mate."
I hate the experience…..SO many unanswered questions...and you should be polite and not push for an explanation? Right??
Felt intensly - and often at great length. Sometimes there's the strange sense that it is happening, and trying to engage more to communicate...
And these last few years have had some great - and trying - examples.
Thanks for posting James, I was beginning to wonder if it was just me ! Like you, when it happens, I feel it intensely and seem to ponder over the possible reasons for ages. I am trying to overthink less - but with little success.
