What It's Like To Be Ghosted

Why do people just stop answering?

What It's Like To Be Ghosted
washingtonpost

We guys and girls have all been there before. We have either ghosted someone, been ghosted or both. It really does suck when that person you are talking to just out of no ones stops answering texts, calls or applications, like Snapchat.

It feels as if you said or did something wrong, but you will just never know what it is because the other person just won't answer you anymore. I don't know about you, but I always wondered how someone can just forget about you and the conversations you had. How can someone just not answer a text or call out of nowhere. It just seems so weird to me the whole process of ghosting.

It usually starts with the person always messaging you, to slowly and slowly not replying. I have had many times that I am into a guy and everything goes great, until one day I just do not hear from him. I feel like as if I was not good enough for him, he found someone or I did/said something wrong. None of this could be true, but I feel as if they are just done or sick of me.

In the 21st century ghosting happens more than we think because it is so much easier to block someone on a cellphone and just never have to reply to them again. It is not like the old days where you had a home phone and anyone could answer or when people just showed up to your house for no reason. Now sadly, technology is more advanced and you never really have to see that person, instead you can be texting them for months and just randomly never see or hear from them again.

Now think of a time you have been ghosted. How did it feel? Would you want that feeling for someone else? Ghosting is a terrible thing and we need to put a end to it today.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
