Well, perhaps they are not fully ready to cut off all connections. By watching the stories, they are maintaining a minimal level of engagement without having to actually communicate. It might also be that they are just nosy and like to see what you're up to even though they've chosen not to be present in your life actively.
There are several reasons for this. Firstly, they might be in a state of indecision. They've distanced themselves, but the stories give them a sense of familiarity and they can't resist looking. Secondly, it could be a form of self - assurance. Seeing your stories might make them feel better about their decision to ghost, like they are still 'in the know' without the commitment. Thirdly, they could simply be bored and your stories are a form of entertainment, even though they don't want to interact with you on a personal level.
It might also be that they are just bored and watching your stories is just a form of entertainment for them. They don't really have any intention of re - engaging with you, but your stories are there and easy to look at. They have cut off communication in a more serious sense, like messaging or talking, but the stories are a more passive form of seeing what you're up to.
It could mean they're still a bit curious about you. Maybe they don't want to fully engage in a conversation or relationship but are interested in what's going on in your life. It's like they want to keep a bit of a connection without actually talking.
There's also a possibility that it's just a habit. They used to be part of your life and watching your stories has become something they do without really thinking much about it. It doesn't necessarily mean they want to get back in touch, but it could also be a sign that there's still some level of interest on their part.
It could mean they're still curious about you. Maybe they don't want direct interaction but are interested in what's going on in your life.
It might be that they're just being nosy. They don't want to interact directly but like to keep tabs on you through your stories. It could also be that they're trying to gauge your reaction to their ghosting. If you seem unbothered, they might be more likely to reach out again in the future.
It could mean they're still curious about you. Maybe they don't want to directly interact but are interested in what's going on in your life. It's a bit of a mixed signal.
They might be in a complicated state of mind. On one hand, they ghosted you, which could be due to things like not wanting to deal with the relationship's potential complications or being unsure about their feelings for you. However, watching your stories could be a form of passive interest. It's like they want to keep a connection, but only in a very low - key way. It could also be that they are simply bored and your stories are a form of entertainment for them, though that's a bit less likely if there was a more personal relationship before.
It might mean they're not interested anymore or they're just too busy.
It could mean they still have some level of interest or curiosity about you. Maybe they're not ready to fully engage in a conversation but enjoy seeing what you post. Or perhaps they're just being a bit passive - liking your stories is an easy, low - commitment way to stay sort of in touch without having to actually talk to you.
It could mean they're still curious about you. Maybe they don't want direct interaction but are interested in what's going on in your life.
