Anyone else constantly getting ghosted?

[hopeless302]

Do people just go no contact with you for no discernible reason? I don't just mean romantic interests. I mean anyone. It's weird seeing people I've had a good relationship with for so many years suddenly going cold on me, not making any effort to make contact or respond to me. And when I do swallow m pride and attempt to reach out, it's clear that they're not interested in speaking. If I'm lucky I might get some canned speech about how "busy" they've been, though I know they're likely finding time for other people.

I usually ignore it. I laugh it off and act like it's no big deal that my friend of literal years is suddenly ignoring me. But deep down, I'd like to feel for once in my life feel like something more than a disposable background character in people's lives. Oh well.

They do. But I also ghost people (I have no energy to reply) so it's even I guess.

It's been a while, but I don't care. It's generally been because I'm an introvert, also because I never used to have sustained conversations, nor did I want to have people with whom I had something to talk about, whether it be friendship or common interests. Currently, I don't talk to anyone; in fact, I'm not interested in talking to anyone anymore, not even through private messages or anything. If it has an "N," I might be interested, but other than that, no. Besides, here I also feel like I'm being ghosted, but it doesn't matter, it's not like I'm dying to make friends lol

I ranted elsewhere about this. When I want to be left alone, I tell people who reach out to me that I want to be left alone and expect them to respect that. I don't leave them hanging or wondering. Ghosting isn't just immature it is mean because people who don't care won't care and people who do care will think they did something wrong even if they didn't.
