PDF Download: Ghosting | An Illustrated Breakdown of Why People Ghost

A recent, interesting study flipped the usual ghosting conversation - it wasn’t about how being ghosted affects you, but how ghosting affects the ghoster. Turns out, disappearing isn’t just something we do to others... it’s also something we do to ourselves. This sketchnote breaks down the psychology behind why people ghost (from relational to self-protective motives) and what it means emotionally for both sides- especially when the ghosting happens in friendships vs. romantic relationships.

Suggested Uses: Whether you’re a therapist, psychology student, or just someone who’s ever been haunted by an unanswered text, this post dives into the science behind why people ghost and how it impacts mental health, communication, and self-awareness.
