Have you ever been ghosted? Share your story so we can all feel less alone haha xx

Ignoring one's gut feeling when it comes to dating is the greatest mistake that most people make when blinded by hormones and chemicals.

I hate when friends ghost you as well. They leave and act like you never existed or you never meant anything to them in the first place 😢

i knew there were crazy people out there, but ghosting lana is a whole new level

I was ghosted and abandoned too many times, and they always try to reach back several months later, casually like "how are you?" like nothing happened. I never replied. But I realized, love or relationship is not worth being hurt that many times and that much. I am now on my own, alone, and now people hate me because I take care of stray cats, because this is who I am now. But, unless they arrest me, or harm the cats, I can live with hate from few strangers. Better to be alone than with someone who will betray and hurt you.

This was so healing to hear. “Even the smartest people can fall victim to emotions.” More story times plzzz ❤

“We all suffer from a lack of judgment from time to time”

That felt like tons of comfort…I can relate to the confusion of knowing yourself as a logical well grounded human…then suddenly comes that mistake that no one would believe you went through…not even yourself..but I believe some things are destined to be and happen regardless of how much control we got..

You’re not alone! I’ve been stood up on a planned date to a fancy restaurant. To save myself the embarrassment I called the restaurant to check when the reservation was made and if he was there and turns out it was for a late time, he wasn’t replying to messages or call, and he wasn’t even at the restaurant. I cried in my car and took myself out instead. My lesson learned: only go on a date with someone if they’re actually consistent.

Most ghosters actually re-appear out of the blue and then ghost you once again (called "zombieing": coming back to life)
As an expert in this (lol), BLOCK the hell out of your life because if they had the nerve to ghost you in the first place, they would do it again, trust me.
Be a bit selfish, in a positive way, by prioritizing your emotional wellbeing

Lana — we will never ghost your uploads. That is a promise!

[jboughtin]

The irony is that he turned his back on you, but in so doing revealed character flaws in himself. If affect did you a favor.

I love how open she is omg this makes me feel HUMAN 💖

[ChrisGaultHealthyLiving]

I think we all have been ghosted at times. Great story, Lana! Not sure why anyone would ghost you. Keep being your awesome self!

The exact same situation happened to me last year . And in fact, the biggest blunder I did, Is the fact they when he came back months later, I actually answered, to his random “hey” . As I was afraid that he left, I was just accepting his fruitless excuses . Not a single time did he apologize. But I was actually glad he came back . Few months after, he ghosted me again. And I realized I was just being played with. It left me trust issues, I can’t trust someone fully since then . Furthermore I refuse to get attached again . I am genuinely afraid that people do that again . Ghosting experiences gave me several issues and I refuse to get attached to people again

Literally, I have no words. All I want to mention that this is the situation where I was going through just 1year ago. And the most surprising part is that all your said words are literally the same I was also thinking and speaking, the same goes thereafter and thereafter. Truly incredible ! Hats off for the truth.

I wish dating was more natural but there's too many factors that make it feel SO shallow nowadays.😭
(dating apps being unpleasant, people not going out as much because of work or other reasons, people being afraid of settling, and social media making us be delusional relationship expectations)

[ocansavenue]

Yes please share more of your stories! Love the honesty and openness :)

[TomorrowsVibes]

I was in a relationship for 5 months and then my ex broke up with me and blocked me everywhere. Afterwards I never had the opportunity to talk to her anymore, not even to ask her how she is doing. The fact that I couldn't talk to her anymore and I never knew why probably hurt more than the breakup itself

[dahylhan]

No one should judge you for being ghosted, I think we've all experienced ghosting at least once, whether romantically or professionally. Generally speaking, people ghost because they're afraid to say where they really stand, so it's up to us in such cases to take a step back and move on from these kinds of situations without feeling sorry for the other person. Love your content Lana, thank you for sharing your story with us 💞

[AD-dmxb]

I am so glad you shared such a personal story with us. It shows that being ghosted has nothing to do with you as a person but more with the person that ghosted you.
And I think in the end you can be happy not going on further dates wirh him bc you don‘t want to be together with a person that leaves someone without any explanation anyway.
I think it is very important learning that I’ve also made in my 20s that you have this gut feeling that you can always trust on. So don‘t lie to yourself, this will safe you a lot of tears
