It's not really a nice thing to do until you don't have a choice.

We've come up with a term for someone who was talking to you, then disappearing without a trace.

Ghosted.

Everyone can agree it's a horrible thing to do.

But is there a time and moment to ghost someone, and would it be accepted?

Just back away and cut off all contact?

How bad do things have to be to justify ghosting?

Have you tried to speak to the person?

Than again, you don't need a reason to step away from someone.

So, why is ghosting looked at as a bad thing?

You don't owe anyone an explanation, but it's always a nice feeling to get one.
