It's a cowardly move. If you don't want someone in your life anymore, just say it.



This. And It's very disrespectful.


What puzzles me are some of those people who stops replying you yet they keep you as 'friend' on FB.

Can they tell if someone is ghosting them?
Recently I am trying to avoid my aspie ex, I wonder if he senses that and knows that I do this because I'm sad


Ghosting....is something way more often to happen between two of opposite sex; frankly I feel that it often happen when one doesn't find the other attractive or not interested anymore - or one suspects the other is attracted to him/her but doesn't want to give a false impression by replying ; it's not uncommon for example for a female, after she gets a new boyfriend, to ghost her male friend she suspected he likes her.

I was like emotional sensitive like your ex, and my ex was like you, we always argued too, and after split, I asked if we could get back together too for a few times. The difference is he didn't block me and still wanted to be friends. He was the one who kept approaching me messages everyday and still even though I ignored or postponed to reply. I don't know how long can it last. I'm ignoring him again right now, this time I want to go for a month. He seems to not know what I do is trying to getting rid of my feeling for him. Should I go back telling him? If so, should I say "I will answer your messages when I have time" or bluntly tell him " i want to be friend after I lose all my feelings for you"?

The answer is pretty clear for me:
"Sorry, I need some time. I still have feelings for you and I have to deal with them before I will be ready to treat you as a friend. It might be a week, a month or a few months. I will let you know."
That's what I did when I confessed to my friend and she said she can't feel anything towards me other than sisterly love. We had a few months "time out" back then before I could contact her normaly. 6 years passed since that incident and we are still friends(although she is currently "ghosting" me for some reason as I mentioned before).


We had a bicker two nights ago. He told me to stop loving him, and I told him I said nothing. Then I said I didn't want him no more. We exchanged "good luck". I ended it with "I'm getting busier with my life, I would only respond you when I have. If you have anything big concerns or issue you still want to tell me feel free to message me, I'll respond asap." And I started to postponed to reply his messages.

In my case, he claimed that he has no feelings for me anymore yet he keeps messaging me everyday, he seems enjoying his single life starting to interact with some more girls at the same time. But me? Sadly I still feel for him like I always did, therefore I know I should get over the feeling, and come back someday to just be friends.
