The Impact on Self-Esteem
Ghosting, the act of abruptly ending communication without explanation, leaves deep scars on those left behind. This sudden abandonment can significantly damage self-esteem, leading to feelings of worthlessness and insecurity.
Feelings of Worthlessness
When someone ghosts you, it sends a powerful message: you are not important enough to deserve closure or even a simple goodbye. This rejection can deeply wound your sense of self-worth. You may start questioning your value, wondering what you did wrong or if there is something inherently flawed about you. The lack of explanation only amplifies these feelings, leaving you to grapple with uncertainty and self-doubt.
Self-Doubt and Insecurity
