The Basics

Let's start with the basics. What is "Ghosting?" I'm sure you're familiar with the term, but if you're not, "Ghosting" is when a person abruptly cuts off communication with someone without any explanation. The term is most commonly applied to romantic relationships, but it can happen with friendships, too.

Ghosting tends to leave you feeling anxious and makes a person over-analyze and become critical of themselves.

"What did I do wrong?" tends to be the question you ask yourself.
