Have you ever "ghosted" someone? Why?

Have you ever "ghosted" someone? Why?
We've all dealt with difficult people in our lives; whether they were crazy, annoying, angry, negative, or whatever else. Sometimes, we end these relationships somewhat directly and, hopefully, amicably. Sometimes it sucks when friendships/relationships end, sometimes it's for the better, and sometimes it feels like lifting a million pounds off of your shoulders.

Ghosting someone is basically cutting contact with someone with no heads up, no end of relationship conversation - nothing. I've also been ghosted one time as well, and to be honest I'm actually glad that the person stopped contacting me. It's a long story, but we were lifelong best friends until I recently discovered some disturbing things about him... and while I tried to look past that and maintain some kind of friendship, he pretty much ghosted me and everyone else we grew up with. He lives in my city and even though people say they see him around all the time, he doesn't say hello to anyone or exchange numbers with any of us.

Looking back, I'm actually glad this person ghosted me, though I was admittedly a little upset about it at first.

However, sometimes getting ghosted sucks, but it makes you wonder, "was there something so irritating/disturbing about me that this person cut contact with no warning?"

I don't know if I've ever ghosted someone... at least I cannot think of a specific person or incident. I do know that I've slowly backed away from plenty of relationships without ever really confronting people. At the end of the day, very few people are mature enough to examine their own faults and hear you out about why you don't want to hang out/be with them anymore.

I feel like, 90% of the time it's just probably not worth having that conversation, unless you truly feel like you owe it to them to explain why you'll no longer be around. But sometimes the crazy is just too much or they're just too toxic.

Have you guys ever ghosted somebody? And why?
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
