I think there are a lot of reasons for this in today’s world. Maybe people’s connections just aren’t as strong as they used to be, and sometimes friendships and relationships are taken for granted. With so many choices and options now, people can end up focusing more on what they need, want, or what works for them at the time, instead of building something real that lasts. I think social media has played a big part too. It’s made it easier to meet people, but at the same time it’s made some connections feel disposable. People always feel like there’s another option, so the value of building deep, meaningful friendships can get lost. Finding someone who genuinely wants a proper friendship with loyalty and effort feels harder these days. I’m not even talking about romantic relationships because that’s a whole different story and probably even more complicated. People are becoming more focused on themselves, and things like ghosting have become normal because some connections don’t really have much depth behind them. Obviously, not everyone is like that, and there are still good people out there. But sometimes friendships from before social media feel different because they were built on time, real experiences, and actually putting effort into each othevr.

I agree with this; ghosting is definitely not the right way to go about things. That being said, exceptions do unfortunately exist.

@Igor I don't categorically deny what you say, but what would you consider valid exceptions?

While I myself do subscribe to the concept and idea of addressing a problem or issue versus avoiding it. I do want to address this often mentioned idea of closure. Closure is invariably viewed as something someone else usually has to give you, instead of understanding that you yourself have all that power. Closure is something you give yourself, not something you expect from other people. And let’s be honest, in a situation, where any type of relationship/friendship ends, and you are looking for some type of explanation or reason to gain closure. And let’s say the person does answer with you’re really just a terrible, insert really bad name here, person, and I don’t like you anymore. Is that really going to give you the closure you’re seeking?

Exception example: if you’re in a situation where someone won’t take no for an answer and always keeps asking the same questions.
