I had this acquaintance who seemed really interested in getting to know me better. We met at an event and exchanged numbers. For a couple of weeks, we were chatting regularly. Then, one day, all communication ceased. I saw her online on social media but no reply to my messages. I think she might have found other friends and just dropped me. It was a bit of a bummer.
One of my worst ghosting stories was when a friend I had known for years suddenly stopped responding. We used to talk every day, share our joys and sorrows. Then one day, after I sent a normal message asking how they were, there was just silence. I sent a few more messages over the next week, but still no reply. It felt like I had been dropped out of their life without any explanation.
I once had a so - called friend who suddenly ghosted me. I found out she was spreading false rumors about me. So, I simply showed up at an event where she was trying to impress some important people. I walked in looking amazing and confident. I started chatting with the people she was targeting and casually mentioned how she had been untrue to me. By the end of the night, those people were looking at her with suspicion.
A group of friends were planning a trip together. One of the friends, who was really involved in the planning initially, suddenly ghosted them. The rest of the group had already made bookings and arrangements based on his participation. His ghosting not only ruined the trip plans but also made the others feel betrayed. They were left wondering what they had done wrong and had to scramble to deal with the financial and logistical mess.
One success story could be in a business negotiation. A company was being pressured by a difficult partner. By 'ghosting' (temporarily ceasing communication), the company was able to regain control of the situation. The difficult partner, without the expected responses, became more eager to reach a reasonable deal later. So, ghosting here helped the company get better terms.
One ghosting karma story is about a person who constantly ghosted their friends. One day, when they really needed help, all those friends were unavailable. It was like the karma of their past actions coming back. They had made others feel unimportant by disappearing, and now they faced the same feeling.
A family member was supposed to come to a family reunion. But they didn't show up and didn't call. Everyone thought they were being ghosted. Later, it was discovered that they had written down the wrong date in their calendar. They were so apologetic when they realized their mistake, and the whole family now tells this story as a funny 'ghosting' incident.
One story I heard was about a girl who was ghosted by a guy she really liked. Instead of getting sad, she started posting amazing pictures of herself having a great time on social media. She made sure to tag mutual friends. Eventually, the guy saw and realized what he was missing. It was a simple yet effective form of revenge as it made him feel like he made a big mistake.
I knew a girl who ghosted her whole group of friends. She was part of a really tight - knit friend circle. One day, she just left all the group chats, stopped answering their calls. Turns out she was going through a really tough time mentally but didn't know how to communicate it. So instead, she just cut everyone off. It was a shock to her friends, and they were really worried about her for a long time.
I remember a time when I was on a city tour. I tripped on a curb while looking at the amazing architecture. But then I noticed a small, cozy café right there. I went in and had the most delicious coffee and met some really interesting locals. That accidental trip turned into a great cultural experience.
I went on a road trip across the United States. We drove from coast to coast. Along the way, we stopped at national parks like Yellowstone. The geothermal features there were incredible. We also met some really interesting people at the various roadside diners. It was a long journey but every part of it was filled with unique experiences and beautiful scenery.
