Have you ever been ghosted? Ghosting, if you don't already know, is when one withdraws all communication with someone without explanation. My personal experience with being ghosted? Well, I've been ghosted four times, two times in one day. Recently, I talked to a guy all night long and when he said goodnight, that was the last time we ever texted, the next day he blocked me, and I was in shock because things were seemingly going well. Ghosting can be so hurtful and even surprising when things were going in the right direction. The reason I am making this blog about ghosting is that I have a message for those who are going through this right now- It is a problem with them, not you! I really thought it was me, especially the first time when I was only 19 years old. Ghosting is a sign that the person who ghosted you is too immature to end things the right way; they have communication issues. Ending relationships is hard, but there are right and wrong ways to do it. Communication is key, it would've been better if he told me it wasn't working out rather than ghost me. It would have hurt less if he didn't lead me on. Ghosting is taking the easy way out. Though people say you don't deserve an explanation, everyone deserves at least some explanation. So, girls, and guys, it's definitely not a you problem, if you were coming on too strong, they should've let you know. If they weren't looking for the same thing you were, they should've told you. I think it's a rising trend to just suddenly cease communication with people you are talking to, romantically or not.

It was a learning experience for me it definitely hurt but I'm not giving up, and you shouldn't either. There's no shame in getting ghosted and remember to take time to love yourself.
