Let’s delve into a topic that has a modern name but has been around for generations—"ghosting.” Ghosting occurs when two people have been in regular communication and then one person abruptly stops and seemingly disappears—or becomes a "ghost"—as the other person tries to reach out and retain or re-establish contact. In my podcast, I explore behaviors and mindsets associated with the increase in stress, anxiety, worry, and irritation that so many are experiencing in today's society. The act (or non-act) of ghosting is a contributor to, as well as a by-product of, these stresses.
Has someone in your life cut off all communication with you, suddenly and without explanation, leaving you feeling sad, abandoned, and perplexed?
