Or have you ever been ghosted by anyone?
Just read an article on how ghosting is becoming a trend to end friendships or relationships / dating. I've probably only ghosted some people who I hardly know, so I'm not sure if that is strictly ghosting, since there usually isn't that much of an expectation to reply. But I guess some consider it ghosting. On the whole though, with people I know better, I usually let them know why I'm distancing myself or if I've taken issue with something they did, and then I cut contact if that's what I want to do, because I don't want to have some big drawn out argument if it's clear we don't see eye to eye. I have definitely been ghosted a few times, but not in any situation I particularly cared about.
