Ah ghosting, this bizarre and totally immature trend that has lately been going around. Ghosting is basically where you could be talking to someone and suddenly they disappear off the face of the planet. Yes, it’s true, boys are the main culprit, but they’re not the only ones guilty of ghosting.

1. That old best friend you had

You heard it right, your own best friend can start to ghost you, it might not be as obvious as a boy ghosting you but let me tell you you’ll wake up one day and think, “what happened?” When people ask what happened between you two, you don’t really know what to say because you don’t even know. You can try to confront them but chances are you won’t get a response, because they ghosted you, and yes, it’s rude as hell.

2. That job/internship/club you've applied for

Man, this one just gets under my skin. Like, ok yes I understand if it’s some huge company that is getting an enormous amount of applications sent per minute, you can get the hint that they haven’t responded (aka you did not get the position). BUT, when it’s an on-campus club or something geared to your specific school, they could at least have the common decency to send the dreaded, “We regret to inform you…” schpeal.

3. Your professor

Believe it or not, there are some professors who you will email and they will never respond to you. You can get around this by hunting them down on campus or catching them before or after class. This, however, is made more difficult if your class is online. It's fine, I'll figure it out on my own.

While boys are still the pros at this (not a compliment by the way), there are tons of people in our lives who ghost us. Frankly, it's unnecessary and emotionally draining to others trying to figure out if something went wrong. If you just realized that you also ghost people in your life, cut it out.
