Why is ghosting bad?

It’s immature and disrespectful to the other person whose time was wasted.

I’ll ask you this: would you prefer to be left wondering or be told straight up?

idk that girl saves your time. better for both party to be honest, you cannot force her to feel better right?

It the behaviour of the ignorant and low value types.

If you no longer want to see someone, own it and tell them.

Generally it's about wasting other person's time and toying with their feelings by giving out mixed/vague signals in fear of facing bitter confrontation for longer time. If you feel that other person is oblivious and you are definitely not interested, it would be in a good manner to spare them the struggle. Also, if "not feeling the vibe" is making you question your value so deeply, I think that there may be some issue there, it's natural that your appearance and character won't be perceived as attractive by plenty of people, even if you feel otherwise for them. We were being too deluded by this natural equally reciprocated feelings, which is not the case at all, it's in the spectrum and varies from person to person, from relation to relation.

Cancelling ahead of time with an apology and efforts to reschedule, fine. If someone ghosts as I scheduled my evening around that date and showed up, then I will move on.

It’s a dick move and you don’t want to make dick moves as an honorable human.

Agreed both is very negative ghosting is leaving someone in the desert rejecting is a shot in the heart I don’t like that

There is a difference between mutually staying silent after a first date and ignoring a message in my opinion. The first one i dont necessarily consider ghosting. If one party is interested to continue dating they are free to reach out. Ghosting for me is not replying.

Because non of us exists without emotions. And we are meant to feel bad when the adieus are not done with grace.

Avoding conflict is always a signal of a bad mental status. If you find ghosting a better alternative could be because your self esteem is low and someone telling you his PoV can break it.

Because it's selfish to make others suffer because of your immaturity

InterestingGate7002 · 2025-03-04T04:12:23+00:00

Neither feels good, but ghosting feels like a slap in the face because the person is essentially telling you that you're not even worth the courtesy of a message or call for closure, or that there's something so inherently wrong with you that you don't deserve it.

I don't really let it bother me like it used to though, most of the time it's a reflection of the other person more than you.

Letting a conversation naturally lose momentum is not the same as ghosting. Ghosting is when you ignore someone even when they are talking to you.

Ghosting is bad because it reeks of cowardice. Be a man.
