Talk:Ghosting (behavior)

“Ghosting (Relationships)”

“Ghosting” is a term that has come to existence in 2014. The term is in reference to someone disappearing off, erasing, or blocking himself or herself from someone ells in which they are in a friendship and or relationship with. This term and article fit my topic of technology in today’s age effecting relationships of all ages. I see this as a perfect example of the disconnect that has formed in todays world because of social media and technology. The fact that it has become so easy for us to ignore and simply ‘block’ with the tap of a finger has created coldness in us. The fact is that because of these new modes of communication, we are no long to dependent of human interaction as much, thus we are loosing that intimacy that is accosted with it, making us socially awkward and in some cases unable to communicate effectively with others as well as we might have been able to in the past.

Section: In personal relationships
The aspect of ghosting is quite new, so it explains itselfe, why it is difficult to be objective. That said, this section does not take one thing into account, that I would like to take out of source studies (German: "Quellenkunde"): If someone does not say anything, we do not know the reason at all. This is the same thing like in history studies, if we do not find a source for something, we do not now, whether it is or it is not. The rule here is: "Absence of proof is not proof of absence!". What makes ghosting so problematic for the one ghosted is, he does not know any reason. It may also be, that the person is dead or missing. This is what makes it so problematic for the ghosted. But what is good about the english article, more than the German one, that is less good, is, that it incoroprates the knowledge, that for the person that is ghosting, it may be e good idea. it is only bad for the person ghosted. This does not make ghosting a good behaviour, but for an article, we would have to describe ghosting neutrally. --Bufi (talk) 11:08, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Ghosting (relationships) → Ghosting (behavior) – Proposing a new broader title and a merge with Ghosting (employer). Both pages cover the same concept (cutting off all contact with someone without explanation), and the term ghosting seems to have colloquially moved beyond personal relationships, and has also been used when referring to psychics and their clients, insurance companies, and entire countries.
