I walked into the house and my mum’s friend said I put on weight. I replied wow, I was thinking the same about you. My dad was bussing up and my mum was in utter shock.
I watched some video on ghosting and the psychological effect it can have. But it’s not just ghosting for me, It’s the way people will switch from clear consistent communication to emotionally withdrawing from you with no explanation. It’s a mindfuck & people downplay it a lot.
