I can't read through all the other replies, but I will tell you what I JUST told my 20yo nephew yesterday. "People do that (ghosting). I think it's rude, but they do it. I think it's because they don't have the balls to just say what's bothering them." That makes it a them problem. Keep trying and interacting with people. Eventually, you'll find your tribe. Hugs offered from an "old" lady if you want them. I'm sorry people often suck, but not everyone deos.

If saying what is bothering me would not provoke the other person into an act of physical violence against me, then I would risk my "balls" more often to say what is on my mind, in person and face-to-face.

It is better to avoid angry, violence-prone snowflakes (and another hospital stay) than to put my "balls" at risk again.

All environmental causes aside, people make their own 'luck'.  Consistently being 'ghosted' would seem to imply that someone is not making the right kind of 'luck for themselves.

i dont know how to make friends. i cant just be like hey whats ur fav color. i dont know how to make a convo flow. they never taught that in special classes. im 27 in college but from daycare to grade 4 i was in special needs. all we did was movies, clap hands and stupid stuff like cursive. everyone i meet ghosts me. i was friends with this very sweet adorable girl on wechat. i am in canada and shes in china. she told me she has a gf and she even said she cherishes our friendship. we met in 2019 and 2022 dec she unfriended me that time she said she said she was hacked. this time it happened again. i sent her a request asking if i did something wrong. another person a philipina (gemini) she blocked me. before she would just leave whatsapp and come back. idk whats wrong with me. am i boring? i dont talk about nsfw stuff or anything like that. i try to cheer people up her cat (the wechat one) passed away and i tried to consoler her.

and then some people say maybe its something with you. like what? is it a blob over my head? dark energy? aura?
i wanna go back to special needs and do ul ul ul (stimming).
i sometimes wish i was still in special needs and never ever used the internet.
no such thing as best friends forever like in spongebob or cartoons.
all fake. why have we come to this.
like its your fault if u say something inappropriate or threaten someone. but what if you are friends for years and then they block you. like wth?
im seething and so betrayed.


Ghosting gets more & more common everyday, is a huge lack of concern. It simply means that the other person didn't see your connection deep enough to own you an explaination, they just ghost. I'm sorry.

Usually when you're autistic you get blamed for being ghosted. It's like we're expected to read other people's minds but they're not expected to read our minds. So the burden is on us to be perfect while NTs are allowed to be imperfect. This is why I wish to be NT so badly.
