i feel like "ghosting" includes a component of ending an existing relationship

you can't ghost someone who never tagged before. it's just... not tagging them.

no one owes anyone anytime for anything holy shit.

The ghosters and blockers are the real assholes because they can’t handle trying to resolve a molehill THEY made a mountain about

I've ghosted and blocked a lot of people in the past and eventually realized it's too much work to deal with.

So I just tell people upfront I don't want to rp with them if I don't.

I still feel bad about it either way but I feel less bad about telling them than aggressively avoiding their whole circle. That's tiring shit.

(Though I still avoid people I don't like. As long as we don't have contact, we are good.)

Thank you for finally being upfront about it more people should because fuck I don’t know who ghosted me fucking odds are I will bump into you again and not know though you are still a coward for blocking individuals

ayrt

I don't block them anymore, just not engage. I won't deny the coward part though.

Hugs sorry but whatever happened may not have been intentional not everyone tries to be

you really sound like a piece of work

Re: da

blocking is an option on sites for a reason and more people should utilize it when needed. we'd probably have less explosions between people if we normalized being able to walk away and permanently end contact.

People who ghost and block NEVER try to resolve the pinched nerve

yeah, and more often than not the person they say is bad was not at fault for more than miscommunication or sleight that they weren't even aware they'd made. look at who people are friends with and what those people say. i almost cut someone out who is a good person but a mutual said some nasty shit about them.

Re: +100

some people just don't get along. and sometimes someone can be awesome with you but a dick to someone else. it's best to just make your own conclusions about people and call out your friends if you see them being a dick to someone.

also generally a confusing response to a thread basically about how people should be owed access to others who avoid or have blocked them because MUH CLOSURE

Re: +100

[(Anonymous)]

if a mutual unprompted "warns" me about someone it's usually the mutual that is the issue

Re: +100

[(Anonymous)]

not to a lot of people out there. there's plenty who would sooner believe the mutual is innocent.

i did try but they were nuts so i was out of options

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

+1 if i'm blocking you, you've shown your ass enough that i've come to the decision the nuclear option is the best one

i don't block willy nilly or on hearsay alone

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't say never. Sometimes people did try, but then it still doesn't resolve itself.

Sometimes you just don't want to outright tell a person you're ending a relationship so you pack your bags, run away and don't leave a note. Then that person gets anxiety for the rest of their life and perpetuates the neverending cycle.
