I did a lot of ghosting in college because I didn't know how to end things

In these situations, I feel like it's harder with friendships than romantic relationships, honestly. I had a really close friend-a best friend- and we had a rough patch of fighting a lot and kind of stopped speaking. She has ghosted me a lot over the last 10 years on and off, and it's insane since we used to talk every day. Long story short, the ghosting sucks because she treated me like shit and I feel like I need to iron some stuff out with her for my own sanity. We've been in touch recently and there's a chance we'll see one another this summer (she lives on the other side of the world so it's kind of a big deal if it happens) and I'm sincerely hoping this will give me closure. Or she'll go back to ghosting me .

I can't think of a poll today... so shamelessly bumping this one for more votes! Haha. Hopefully more stories too.

I had this happen with a friend a few years ago...we kind of ghosted each other, ha.
I was living abroad in a place with really shoddy communication...like, there was one public phone in the town, no internet, and I had a cellphone that sometimes worked but mostly didn't. A good friend (probably my best friend at the time) had a rough patch, was hospitalized, etc...I was just never able to get a hold of her...and the more time that passed the more awkward it felt...and then she deleted her facebook & no longer responded to emails....and it's been nearly 8 years at this point and it still kind of bothers me. But I fully admit I ghosted first!!
Her mom came into my workplace a few years ago and I really wanted to talk to her to see how my friend was, but it was SO busy with customers that she slipped out before I had a free moment. Booo.

When I was 20/21 I dated a guy who was 28 or 29. For five months. And then he stopped talking to me. I was really upset and confused, mostly pissed though. Ashamed of the number of drunk dials he got from me. But I got over it pretty quickly. Turns out I never really liked him that much.
He remains ridiculously immature to this day. We have a mutual friend, and I comfort myself by knowing that he considers me "the one that got away" (faulty logic there, bro).
Pretty safe to say I dodged a bullet there. His mom still leaves leftovers in the fridge for him to pick up.
