"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)
I had a friend at work and he and I and another feller talked about music all the time.
We organised to go see a band in Brisbane and he never showed up. The other feller and I both sent messages and rang but no answer. Then he didn't show up to work, stopped talking to anyone that knew him at work, got a new job, moved house but still lives in the same town. He just doesn't talk to anyone that used to know him and no-one knows why. If I ever see him I'll fucking corner him and make him tell me what the fuck's going on. :-) It's a real mystery.

The simple fact is that he had major trust issues.  (May 5, 2020 at 11:50 am)Gwaithmir Wrote:(May 4, 2020 at 12:20 pm)arewethereyet Wrote: It's sort of the opposite of stalking. I would say it's less deliberately ignored/shunned and more not even giving enough of a rats ass to answer someone. Deliberately shunning someone requires energy to avoid them. I'm fairly certain that ghosting involves the attitude and absolutely as much energy as letting your spam inbox fill up and deleting them once a month without even opening the spam folder.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

I've never ghosted anyone, that I can remember. I can't recall being ghosted, if I have been, it wasn't memorable.
