Dealing with Ghosting and Rejection: A Guide
How to Protect Your Confidence and Communicate Better in Modern Dating
👻 Ghosting Happens—But It’s Not About You
You matched. You chatted. Maybe you even made plans.
And then… nothing.
No explanation. No goodbye. Just silence.
It’s called ghosting, and if it’s happened to you, you’re not alone.
Studies show that up to 80% of online daters experience ghosting at some point.
But here’s what matters:
Ghosting says more about them than it does about you.
It often reflects their discomfort with confrontation—not your worth.
🧠 Why People Ghost or Reject
People ghost (or disappear after seeming interested) for a few common reasons:
They don’t know how to communicate disinterest kindly
They avoid confrontation or emotional discomfort
They’re overwhelmed or distracted
They were never looking for something serious
This doesn’t excuse it—but understanding it helps you not take it personally.
📌 According to a 2021 study in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health,
ghosting often stems from low emotional regulation skills and fear of conflict, rather than malicious intent.
🛠 How to Handle Ghosting with Confidence
You can’t control how others behave—but you can control your response.
