Ghosting is an ABRUPT, out-of-nowhere, cessation of communication. . .
I never stated otherwise.

Boycotting is also an abrupt, out-of-nowhere cessation that involves not only communication, but all business entirely.

In either case, blocking texts, emails, and phone calls, and then going out of my way to avoid them entirely are the same activities whether I am boycotting a business or ghosting an individual.

Ghosting is a terrible thing to do and should never be done, except maybe in extreme cases where someone is harassing you or scaring you and you can't come up with any other option.

I have been ghosted my many women on the dating apps. I have had conversations with at least 10 of them on the apps.

Sometimes ghosting is justified.

Sometimes the relationship hasn't existed for long enough to justify trying to explain why you don't want to interact with the other party.

Sometimes the other party is dangerously unhinged and vindictive.

There's plenty of other potential justifications, but those are the two that seem most common.
