Sometimes it is not our fault at all when a relationship stops abruptly. One of the instances is ghosting. This happens when one of the partners involved in the relationship starts to avoid the other person to the point that they stop existing in their lives. "Being ghosted is never your fault, even if the relationship ended for a legitimate reason. It is important to remember that ghosting is a reflection of the other person's actions, choices, and communication skills, rather than a reflection of your own worth or value. It is not your fault if someone chooses to ghost you," explained Therapist Israa Nasir. (Unsplash)
