That’s very true. But, it’s something that appears to be way more common that it uses to be.

If you get ghosted, it only proves that that person is emotionally immature and wasn’t ready for a relationship anyway, so they did you a favor by outing themself.

Meh, can also easily reflect on the person being ghosted. Why would I continue to engage with someone who’s insulting, rude, etc? I recently stopped engaging with a friend of 20+ years when they expressed a perspective that I (and most people) would consider morally reprehensible, hypocritical, and completely antithetical enlightenment ideals. You’d say I was being immature, while I’d consider my former friend’s attitude juvenile and offensive.
I’ve had friends/acquaintances where we just stopped talking to each other. So, who ghosted who? I’d even argue this kind of distancing is organic.
Also, if you’re consistently being ghosted, maybe it’s you.
