Curious if, amongst your friends that you keep in touch with regularly, do people ghost each other or not respond to questions sometimes?

Unfortunately one of my best friends struggles with anxiety and depression. It makes it more challenging for her to respond if she’s in a low. Worst part is, it’s my only way to check on her since we now live states away. So yes, it happens with her! Not normally with others. We all have our own lives, so sometimes there’s a delay, but never ghosting.

Nope. We have healthy relationships, boundaries and communication. Ghosting and non-response doesn’t fly in my circles.

If you don’t feel to respond to a certain question, or can’t, there are better ways than ghosting and not responding.

I wouldn’t say it’s ghosting. I don’t look at it that way I guess. I’d say, life happens. And I get that. It used to be we had one phone in the house. If you weren’t home and got a call you’d never know about it unless someone left a message. It sure was a different time

I don’t expect anyone to immediately answer my text or call. My friends don’t expect that from me either notwithstanding an emergency update etc
