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.
