Want To Know If Your Boo Is Ghosting You?

  If you face trust issues in your relationship, You may feel your entire relationship is an issue!

A relationship standing on trust issues is nothing but havoc. A red flag for you if, anything that we talk about further in this article is relatable in your relationship. 

Trust is earned and takes time to build upon, so anyone should be watchful of them for this. 

The triggering factor could be anything small or big. 

 

Out of many millennial terms, one such prevalent is “GHOSTING” - a newly invented term in the dating culture.

You might be wondering what the heck is ghosting? Well, it defines an act of breaking all kinds of contact with your romantic partner.  

As if you don’t exist in their life anymore and become like ghosts (on a frivolous note) for them. 

  The pain caused is equivalent to physical pain according to studies on this. The distress caused is often harder to overcome and leaves a long-lasting impact on the person being ghosted.

As communication in this era is mostly online…

Discontinuing relationships online becomes easier than cutting all ties in person. Something that hurts the most and can leave you with unanswered questions about why someone isn’t in your life anymore.

It is said that men usually pull themselves away after being close, but it could be either men or women. Ghosting is worse than a breakup. Sitting beside your window and wondering what went wrong can sure be one of the toughest things. Getting over the fact that someone just left, completely disappeared is never easy...

Sure signs to know you ARE being ghosted- 

  • Decrease in the number of texts sent to you or your versions going unanswered more often
  • Getting unfollowed on social media. The conversation becomes mostly a one-way thing. It becomes mostly you asking questions and the other person answering bluntly.
  • If you have stopped receiving comforting words from him
  • If you feel you are being cared less and not getting enough attention as was given before (not if he stays busy with work, though!)
  • If your partner stopped wishing on your birthday, or on any of your bid day.
  • Or even if he is not committing to you.

These were a few ghosting cues experienced by a close friend, Monica. It was a silent treatment that made her feel powerless. According to her, she felt like her sanity was questioned and was made to believe that she was not good enough for anyone.

You will not be surprised to know what psychology says about ghosting ☺

A person doesn’t need to be wrong if they are the one ghosting. It may be that the person who is ghosting has previously been ghosted at some point in life during the relationship.

If the same person is ghosting, maybe they are trying to avoid any conflict or uncomfortable situation that comes with confrontation...

Consequently, the person doesn’t even want to hurt someone’s feelings. But actually, when he/she ends a relationship by ghosting, it causes more hurt and anger.

 Avoiding conflict fortifies anxiety. Therefore, it is better to speak about the issue openly, rather than bluffing coldly. 

Thank god! There are so many ways to deal with this terrible feeling. Some of which works best and can probably help you get over this disappearing behavior and move on to look for a better partner.

1.Working on self

Expose yourself to discussions that scare you and make you feel terrible. Chances are you will be surprised to see yourself handling it well. Practice behavioral therapy to get the hang of it.

 

2.Reading books

Books have the power to reprogram your mind. Anyone can get out of a horrible mood or break up and enjoy life again if books are your friend. So read books and get over your relationship issues!

3.Set some limits for your future partner

Before giving someone your heart and attaching your emotions with them, try to get to know them and their intentions behind the relationship. By doing so, you will make sure they don’t get enough courage to play with you and your emotions, making it hard to move on later.

4.Know your worth

Besides all this, the most important thing to understand and remember is your own worth. It will make the job of not taking it too personally if at all you have been ghosted or in case you may get ghosted.
