- Description

"Ghosting" is the act of suddenly stopping all communication with someone without giving an explanation or a proper goodbye. The term is strongly associated with texting, dating, social media, and other situations where contact can be silently cut off. It carries a frustrated or hurt emotional tone because the ignored person is left to guess what happened. Casual online speakers also use it for businesses or service providers, such as a hairdresser who stops replying while an appointment or request remains unresolved.
- Example
-
— Did the hairdresser reply about your appointment? — No, she’s ghosting me so thoroughly that even my split ends feel abandoned. — At least your hair has learned the meaning of emotional distance.
A hopeful customer stared at an unread booking message while their abandoned hairstyle entered its own quiet ghosting era and began applying for new friends.
