Ghosting sucks... I dunno if people realize this when they do it, but it's not always obvious to the other person at all.
It leaves them in limbo, wondering if something terrible happened, for weeks. Months. Indefinitely.
It's not a clean or kind way to end things. It's messy and mean, and puts all of the stress and emotional cost on the other person, without their consent.
It means they never get to know why.
Thanks for writting this, I need to hear how I hurt people when I left. I honestly thought no one would care, and I was very wrong.
I hope your ghost comes back or at least tells you goodby
