Ghosting occurs in a few different scenarios. Have you been ghosted by recruiters/jobs you spend energy on applying for?
Ignoring (someone) completely: a ‘cold shoulder’ treatment so severe that the targeted individual effectively ceases to exist to the person by whom they have been ‘ghosted’.
“Liam, I never see you with a partner. Are you dating?”
“Hey, Fifi, thanks for asking. I am currently ghosting. No, I am not explaining.”
