Why he actually ghosted you... 👻

5/2 Edited to

... Read moreGhosting can feel like an emotional whirlwind, especially when someone suddenly disappears without explanation. From my experience and talks with others who've been ghosted, it's often not just about losing interest, but sometimes internal regrets and confusion that set in afterward. Many times, the person who ghosted doesn’t expect the silence to cause so much turmoil—not just for the person left behind, but for themselves as well. This silent gap can lead to intense overthinking. The regret starts eating at them, especially if initial reasons were due to fear of confronting deeper relationship issues or personal insecurities rather than genuine disinterest. I’ve noticed, in situations shared within support groups and tarot readings, that taking a 'no contact' approach not only empowers the person ghosted but often triggers a shift in the ghoster's mindset. They may begin to realize what they lost was valuable. This can lead someone to reach back out, sometimes hoping to reconcile or at least explain their disappearance. Having a personal reading or some form of insight, like tarot, can provide clarity and peace during this confusing time. It helps to see the situation with fresh eyes and understand underlying emotional dynamics. For those wondering if an ex will come back after ghosting, patience and self-care are key. Ultimately, ghosting often stems from unresolved fears or struggles rather than a cold dismissal of the other person. Recognizing this can help you heal and decide how to move forward—with or without him.

3 Reasons You Don't Need Closure
Sometimes, we trick ourselves into thinking closure is a conversation, an apology, or an explanation that will magically make the pain stop. But let me tell you something hard to hear: Closure doesn’t come from them. It comes from you. They ghosted? That’s your answer. They pulled away?

THEY “GHOSTED” YOU
If someone ghosts you, let them rest in peace. If they can treat you that dismissively, they don’t deserve you. Only have people in your life who value you. You are worth more than second thoughts and maybes. If they wanted to talk to you, they would’ve. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
