Gerald Lex A. Cultura XI – Fibonacci Ms. Mariell Eunice A. Conde 03/07/2023 “The End” By definiton, Ghosting, simmering and icing are colloquial terms which describe the practice of ending all communication and contact with another person without any apparent warning or justification and ignoring any subsequent attempts to communicate, or to be exact ending a relationship with someone without any explanation. A lot of people have experiences when it comes to this kind of phenomena, specially on teenagers and myself is not an exception. I have also ghosted someone through out my whole life. It was benificial for me, because I did cut ties with someone. It was done for a reason and well for my experience, they made me feel uncomfortable enough to make me don’t want to be with them any further. I felt guilt after doing such thing but honestly for some time it also made me feel relieved because I lost something that I usually do but also losing it was good, because it wasn’t good for me. So, the guilt the I felt somewhat vanished, that itself made me realized that it was something that I should’ve done long ago. But, honestly after being ghosted myself I somewhat felt the guilt once again, because it also made me realize that ghosting someone is indeed a painful thing to do to someone. It is like a story that ends in a cling hanger, where you would like to know the end of the story, but you can’t do anything about it that just making assumptions on what reasons they did it. It is going to make feel like you don’t deserve anything, because you overthing that you’re the problem. So because of such event, you should also be reminded that they probably left because you did something that made them feel bad or maybe it’s them that has a problem. So instead of making assumptions, be a better person that you are before, to make yourself know your worth and you need someone who knows your worth. Again, it is indeed painful but just think of it as a lesson, a moral of story, an experience. Ghosting does happen to everyone, not just teenagers.
