Ghosting is the same as rejection. The only difference is that ghosting is an extended form of rejection.
It is the worst kind of rejection you can ever give to someone.
A lot of people would take the route of ghosting you if they feel like they don’t want to be in the relationship with you anymore. It’s an easier route for them to take, that way they’re able to avoid confronting you.
There are no big dramas or theatrics involved, so it’s more beneficial for them. There is also no room for them to justify why they’re distancing themselves from you.
The truth is rejection hurts.
But ghosting is a much more severe form of rejection and it hurts twice as much as a normal rejection.
A Ghoster is only thinking about themselves. Why they’ve been able to make themselves avoid the consequences of their actions, the person or the people they’ve ghosted are more likely to feel the pain and aftermath of their decisions:
In the long run though, a person who ghosts people frequently will battle with communication issues and complicated relationship life because they’ve trained themselves to always run away from issues.
A person who has been ghosted feels very insecure and uncertain about what they’ve done. There really is no closure for them. They spend a chunk of their time trying to figure out what went wrong.
When they eventually realize that they’ve been ghosted, it messes with their self confidence on a huge level.
Now they’re wondering if they’re not good enough or if there is something wrong with them.
Can You Get Over Ghosting And Rejection?
The answer is Yes! You can.
It will of course take some time and a lot of internal work but, you can eventually get yourself to a space where you can begin to feel more confident and secure in yourself. You will also get to readjust that being ghosted has almost nothing to do with you and has a lot to do with the person who ghosted you.
They lack accountability and empathy.
Once you realize this, you will be able to get over.
