Being Ghosted
When someone suddenly stops responding without explanation.
30-Second Summary
Ghosting is one of the cruelest RSD triggers because your brain fills the silence with worst-case scenarios. No closure means endless rumination.
Key Insight
Ghosting almost always says more about them than you. People ghost because they can't handle difficult conversations - that's their limitation, not your fault.
Right Now
Stop checking. Stop texting. Resist the urge to keep reaching out. If they wanted to respond, they would have. You deserve someone who shows up.
