6 Reasons Why People Ghost You

Have you ever heard of the term “ghosting,”? If so, are you familiar with what it is? Ghosting is when someone suddenly ceases all contact with another, often ignoring their attempts to reach out without any explanation. Whether you are ghosting someone or ghosting people, or the one being ghosted, can leave both parties in a lot of pain. If you're looking for answers or comfort to why someone might have ghosted you or why you might have ghosted someone (whether intentionally or not), hopefully, this video can give some answers.
