What It's Like To Be Ghosted

Why do people just stop answering?

What It's Like To Be Ghosted
washingtonpost

We guys and girls have all been there before. We have either ghosted someone, been ghosted or both. It really does suck when that person you are talking to just out of no ones stops answering texts, calls or applications, like Snapchat.

It feels as if you said or did something wrong, but you will just never know what it is because the other person just won't answer you anymore. I don't know about you, but I always wondered how someone can just forget about you and the conversations you had. How can someone just not answer a text or call out of nowhere. It just seems so weird to me the whole process of ghosting.

It usually starts with the person always messaging you, to slowly and slowly not replying. I have had many times that I am into a guy and everything goes great, until one day I just do not hear from him. I feel like as if I was not good enough for him, he found someone or I did/said something wrong. None of this could be true, but I feel as if they are just done or sick of me.

In the 21st century ghosting happens more than we think because it is so much easier to block someone on a cellphone and just never have to reply to them again. It is not like the old days where you had a home phone and anyone could answer or when people just showed up to your house for no reason. Now sadly, technology is more advanced and you never really have to see that person, instead you can be texting them for months and just randomly never see or hear from them again.

Now think of a time you have been ghosted. How did it feel? Would you want that feeling for someone else? Ghosting is a terrible thing and we need to put a end to it today.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
