What is ghostlighting?

It is the worst among the two worlds. The trend suggests that when a person ghosts you and thinks that the ghost was not painful enough, they decide to take it up a notch with pro-level gaslighting, where they show off that you had imagined their sudden disappearance; In fact, he never gave you a ghost.

In simple terms, they first pull the magical function of disappearing into the thin air, and then come back after weeks, non-apological, with tones excuses who would doubt you whether they had ever given you a ghost, or all this was in your “overthinking” mind. Fortunately, this trend has been equally recognized, named, and embarrassed by General ZS and Millennials.

How to recognize?

The signs can be subtle, but ghosalitters are not as timid as they consider themselves. The first signal is often left in the grip, and a good day, the message begins to be abandoned. And the next clear indication is that when seen and uninterrupted, the same person suddenly conveys a message with the Bengers, as “you don’t read me anymore”, “You ever called me back”, “I told you that I will be busy these days.” The purpose is to question your memory. At the end of treatment, 5 out of 5 people claimed that these were the most important indications.

The reason behind this trend

Emotional immaturity, issues of commitment, or avoiding technology. Some people run into being very close and finally, do not feel the same spark in the early days. However, they have a lack of maturity to communicate it and choose ghosts.

How to dodge it

trust your gut. If your instinct says something, it is worth checking. Keep mental notes of conversation; It seems petty, but it will help you remind yourself that it is not “overthinking or imagination”. Finally, a good match will never leave, especially without a goodbye or proper explanation.
