What to do if someone has disappeared from your life without explaining anything: 4 tips to help you survive this unpleasant experience

26.03.2024 08:23

Throughout your life, you may have encountered a situation where, after some time in a relationship, your partner suddenly disappeared from the radar.

The "disappeared" person usually does not respond to attempts to contact him, leaving calls and messages unanswered. Of course, you may think that something happened to him, but in fact, this is not so - he turned into a ghost and began to visit you.

Ghosting is, in a sense, synonymous with ignoring or avoiding, except that it sounds nicer to the person being dumped. But whatever you call it, it doesn't make it any easier for the person who is left in a suspended, awkward, and even somewhat humiliating state.

What to do if you have a guest

1. Understand that it is not your fault

Being ignored doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you - on the contrary, your ghost is the one with the problems that need to be addressed. You can't bear the heavy burden of responsibility for another person.

2. Accept the end of the relationship

Even if it happened in an awkward way, the relationship is over - if the person wanted to date you or be friends, he wouldn't play hide and seek. If he disappeared, it means the breakup happened, he's just afraid to tell you about it.

3. Burn your bridges

Cross the “ghost” out of your life – delete joint photos and videos, block them on social networks – in general, do everything to remember them as little as possible.

4. Move on

This negative experience should not in any way affect your self-confidence - continue to live your normal life and do not be afraid to make friends or enter into new relationships.
