Why Do People Ghost Without Giving You an Explanation?

People don’t like confrontation, as it can be unsettling.

It’s much easier to ghost without giving an explanation.

When he stopped calling you, it was a conscious decision.

He purportedly had his reasons for disappearing on you like a magic act.

However, said reasons weren’t all that justifiable.

Knowing this, the last thing he wants is to have to explain said reasons to you and deal with the likely pushback.

Any reasonable pushback forces him to question himself and his decision.

It’s not so much that he worries that you would convince him to change his mind, but that you shed a spotlight on his character to such an extent that he is forced to question his morality.

He becomes the villain.

The bad guy.

Giving you an explanation for his reasoning for ghosting means you could enlighten him on his own questionable character, which means he would be forced to take accountability for it.

It’s likely you aren’t the first woman he has ghosted without an explanation.

Any pushback from you would mean that he has to look back on the previous women he ghosted without explanation.

Some of whom did nothing expressly wrong to be ghosted without explanation.

He would have to take account of those women too, and that is too much accountability for him to tolerate.

Every time he has ghosted a girl without explanation and gotten away with it, he has been emboldened to keep doing it.

It’s feasible he felt a degree of guilt when he did it to the first girl.

But, with each subsequent girl, it got easier for him to ghost without explanation.

Practice made him less guilt-ridden with every girl.

By the time he got to you, he no longer felt any guilt, and it had become second nature for him to ghost without explanation.

Even worse, by this time, he already knows the girls he is going to ghost without explanation before he has had much of an interaction with them.

Yes, this means that he already knew that you were a girl he would use for attention and conversation for a short while before ghosting you.

He already knew.

A guy knows what his type is on a physical and psychological level.

Knowing his type, he can make a quick judgment on where you fit in.

If you don’t meet what he usually gravitates to physically and psychologically, he can categorize you as someone he has short-term fun with but won’t date.

Before he gave you the first compliment, he already knew what category he had you in.

And sadly, he had you in the category of short-term fun for an ego boost and entertainment.

Meanwhile, you had no idea that you had already been categorized as such.

Rather, you thought that the robust conversations and all that energy he was exuding was a sign that he liked you and that this was heading in the direction of a potential relationship.

He knows that you were righteous in all of this.

There were no games, merely you showing the interest back.

This is also what makes him that much more reluctant to ghost you with an explanation.

He can’t point to you being abrasive, manipulative, lacking in energy, etc.

You were none of those things.

Any pushback you give him means he has to contend with the reality that you were innocent in all of this and came into the interaction with pure intentions.

This is too much to handle.

It’s much easier for him to ghost you without explanation, as this keeps him from having to contend with just how much of a jerk move it is and what that says about him.
