This is a good article. Thank you for sharing it because this is a good topic. I think there is a lot of this going on. People are leading complicated lives these days I guess.

Oddly enough, I expect to be ghosted. Is that wrong? I wondered as I read this... what is wrong with my self esteem that I expect friends to leave?

I do think it’s a good idea to consider what my role may have been in the ghosting situation. I am certain I’ve been an energy vampire at times and I’ve worked hard to change that... hopefully....

But other than that, as the article says.... it’s usually something going on with the other person.

I bet the old friend you ran into felt embarrassed. I bet she missed you and didn’t know how to say that and didn’t feel she deserved your friendship anymore... just my guess... I can understand why you felt hurt. You seem like a loyal friend. [emoji3590]
