 because the opposite of love, as you all know, is not hate, it's indifference. And ghosting feels like massive indifference. It's like, I don't care about you. I don't care how this makes you feel. So the indifference with which I treat you creates this massive sense, I think for us, of emotional withdrawal and abandonment. When you feel emotionally abandoned by someone's withdrawal from your emotion that was there, then suddenly is not there, with no explanation, it feels like a form of abandonment, of being dumped, as it were. It's more damaging because we have to assign some meaning to it to make peace with it. Or when you assign meaning to it out of your sense of abandonment and disappointment and hurt, the meanings going to by definition be ego-driven, and by definition is going to be an outcome that puts you down, puts them in a by blight, puts you on the receiving end of their clumsiness and their indifference. So if no meaning is given by the ghoster, then you have to speculate. And if that comes to you as a person that's riddled already with self-esteem and self-doubt issues, that space in which you feel their indifference and abandonment, then your mind and emotions are overheated.
