It depends on the intent and the pattern of the ghosting.

There's different types of ghosting.

In most cases, you don't get to know those things.

In most everyday friendships, ghosting isn't a power play.

It's more of a breakdown in the communication under emotional strain.

When there's emotional strain, which, by the way, if you're being ghosted, you might not

know about that emotional strain.

You might have an inkling and you might be able to justify, oh, they're overwhelmed.

They probably can't handle me, which doesn't feel good.

But it's not emotional abuse.

It's more of removing yourself from something that you can't handle.

Have you noticed that the world that we live in has been doing most of the

thinking for you? That your beliefs, perceptions, reactions, fears, and doubts have been shaped by

unsolicited outside noise? How easy it's been for you to slip into that default sleepwalking

mode and label it as life and reality. Yeah, that ends here. Welcome to the

Make Sense with Dr. J.C. podcast. This is your opportunity to start thinking for yourself,

reclaim control, and step back into that role as the shock caller and dominant force of your

own reality. It's when you change the way that you look at things,

that the things that you look at begin to change.

So let's wake up, let's rise up,

and let's make sense of why and how shift happens.

Makes sense.
