I’ve seen a new term lately called “ghosting.” The Urban Dictionary defines it as “the act of suddenly ceasing all communication with someone.” It’s done in the hopes that the person being ghosted will come to the realization on their own that the other person wants nothing to do with them and they’ll just go away. The idea being that the person doing the ghosting is avoiding a difficult conversation or hurting another person’s feelings by ignoring them.
