Nothing is worse than the feeling of uncertainty. With work. With family. With school. With relationships.

When you ghost someone, even if it isn't someone you were interested in romantically, it messes with their head in a manner no one should have to go through.

For those of you who are not aware of what the term "ghosting" means, Urban Dictionary defines it as "When a person cuts off all communication with their friends or the person they're dating, with zero warning or notice beforehand. You'll mostly see them avoiding friend's phone calls, social media, and avoiding them in public."

If you are someone who has never been ghosted, you are extremely lucky. I have seen this new phenomenon affect WAY too many people in my life, and it's time we talk about it.

The bottom line in this situation is that if you come to the point where you feel things aren't working out between you and your Significant Other, TALK TO THEM ABOUT IT!!!!

It is beyond selfish and immature to do to someone you once cared about. It doesn't matter if you are afraid of their reaction, you need to at least give that person closure. Honesty is always the best policy. It doesn't matter if it is not something they want to hear, it is better than hearing nothing at all. Not giving the other person closure just forces them to overthink and second guess their own worth.

Social media doesn't help the situation either. Not only does the "ghosted" have to endure the situation as it is, but they have to see the "ghostee" continue to post on social media! This basically just rubbing it in their face that you are on your phone but completely ignoring them.

The moral of the story is, ghosting needs to stop being a "norm" in society today. We have enough to worry about as it is!
