so many people are pissed about ghosting but what people who don't have the fearful-avoidant style don't understand is that in moments like those your mind simply stonewalls any rational thought of communication by sheer, insurmountable dread. it takes time and effort to overcome it, and at least some kind of therapy-adjecent strategies. I don't expect it from yesterday's teenagers in the environment that breeds drama. so while I find the whole misunderstanding trope exasperating, no one is really in the wrong here. just kids being idiots.
