In a romantic relationship or otherwise. I’m being ghosted over a job, so I ask randos on the internet about what they do. WBY?

Edit: Thanks everyone for the advice I’ve been trying to follow. It helps having it reinforced. It’s just hard for several reasons any of which would make it my top choice.

  1. It’s in the city my sister lives in. I haven’t lived near my family since I finished high school
  2. My job is inherently transient; I move every 1-2 years. This one gave me some permanency
  3. I’ve been doing the same thing for the last 10 years. This one gives me additional responsibilities
  4. It’s prestigious and would come with higher pay

I’ll be working on it, but like I said it’s tough. It’s almost like the universe gave me the perfect go fuck yourself.

    Move on, it’s a sign your not important to the other person, so they are both worth worrying about

    As someone who is in incredibly extroverted, you just have to take the hint and move on. Being ghosted is many people’s solution to the problem of “I don’t want to be around that person/do the thing but I don’t want to be impolite.” Just gotta accept it and move on to the next person you want to annoy into being your friend.

    Sign them up for something embarrassing or offensive via snail mail and use their first and last name (ghoster) but instead of their actual address, you use the neighbor’s address.

    Ghost them back. Or sometimes ask politely “so that’s it?” and then continue ghosting them.

    There’s really nothing you can or should do, except move on.

      Yeah, remind yourself that anybody who would do this isn’t a person worth having in your life. They don’t care about you.

    You aren’t entitled to a response if someone doesn’t want to respond. Suck it up and move on.

    People need to understand space and respect it. Not everyone needs to be communicating every single hour of every single day. If you can’t handle that, then you probably have an insecurity.
