Note to All Listeners: Ghosting is defined as: The practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication (Oxford Languages). When you leave an abusive situation without saying "goodbye," it's not ghosting, it's "self-protection." When you quietly exit a relationship after a boundary has been violated, it's not ghosting, it's "self-respect."

Delve into how societal norms and communication pitfalls contribute to ghosting, and understand the unique challenges different genders and identities face.

Topics covered include:

• Why do women ghost men? Why do men ghost women? A deeper look at how gender dynamics can influence ghosting.
• Ghosting within the LGBTQ+ community.
• How past experiences of invisibility can amplify the emotional impact of being ghosted.
