The Vanishing Act_ Decoding the Psychology of Ghosting

About this episode

Imagine you are talking to someone, things seem to be going well, and then—silence. The texts stop, the calls go unanswered, and your presence in their digital world simply evaporates. This is ghosting: the abrupt, unilateral end to communication without a word of explanation. While we often think of this as a modern dating hazard, it has become a pervasive behavior in our friendships, our professional lives, and even within families. To understand why people do this, we have to look past the character judgment and dive into the psychology of avoidance. At its core, ghosting is often a maladaptive coping mechanism. People who struggle with avoidant attachment view intimacy as a source of stress, and distance as their primary safety net. When a situation becomes uncomfortable, their instinct isn't to communicate, but to disappear
