Another Take on Ghosting

I certainly believe that ghosting can be a manipulative control thing for the person doing it. That doesn’t mean that they do not also have difficulty communicating about uncomfortable topics or that they are not simultaneously feeling emotionally overwhelmed.

I could certainly see a person allowing their frustration with communication difficulties or feeling emotionally overwhelmed to fuel a desire to inflict emotional pain. I could also see someone that has a very rigid personality that is being challenged resort to ghosting with the intent to hurt the person challenging them.
