ive yet to be ghosted by someone i've met in person, but i had a work friend who gave me the silent treatment for 8 months after a fling that ended badly, that's as close to ghosting as they could get away with considering we spent most of our waking hours around each other. and yeah that left scars for sure, i've been paranoid that my most recent ex love interest was ghosting me a few times even though she's never been anything but kind and loving and accountable to me.
what happened in your case if you don't mind my asking?
def better long term but probably feels more unfun in the moment lol
