Do you consider ghosting people a reasonable way to deal with today’s overwhelming and constant information and notification overload? Or do you find it offensive and unfriendly?

Would you equate it to a person ignoring you irl or is ignoring a text different?

For this post let’s assume the people involved are or were in the past friends, and ghosting is leaving someone on “read” for more than 2 days.

    Obviously, everyone is free to do as they wish provided that it doesn’t harm others.

    Someone can choose to ghost you if they so choose, but of course you might feel offended at that which is fine too.

      Take away your opinion, and then there is taken away the complaint, ‘I have been harmed.’ Take away the complaint, ‘I have been harmed,’ and the harm is taken away.

      A person being offended by someone ghosting them is entirely up to that person. Coincidentally the kind of characteristic that some people rather ghost.
