My old person trait is that I think ‘ghosting’ is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

        no you dont. you dont owe people jack shit.

        a relationship is a voluntary situation that can be interrupted at any time for any reason. Theres a reason usually these ghosting winers have incel vibes…

          a relationship is a voluntary situation

          Except if you’re standing next to me in the supermarket. Or at the bus stop. Or sitting near me in a restaurant. Or at the doctors office and so on. And in all of these situations, I expect common courtesy from you. Or I consider you as an asshole.

            since we are talking about ghosting and not a random interaction id say you are off topic.

              No, you are talking about “ghosting”. You are the only person in this comment thread to type that word, twice. This post is not simply about ghosting, it is about “old person traits”. You can tell because you can read the title.

              Common incel energy.

                    It was mentioned in the original post in the body of the text, just not in the image. I think that’s the confusion.
