How to respond to ghosting

How to respond to ghosting
Ghosting isn’t confusing. Your response to it is. Most women don’t stay stuck because they didn’t see the pattern. They stay stuck because they kept interacting with it. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀: He doesn’t choose → but he doesn’t leave He disappears → then checks if you’re stil

Ghosting Culture is TOXIC as hell!!
I was talking to someone I matched with, and for a few weeks it felt like we were really vibing — texting every day, sharing memes, even making loose plans to hang out. Then out of nowhere… silence. No explanation, no ‘sorry, not interested,’ just straight-up ghosted. At first I thought maybe somet
