ghosted 🙁

I don't know about you, {NAME}... But don't you just hate it when people "ghost" you? When -- even after multi-stage conversations -- they just disappear? And when -- despite being super enthusiastic about something -- they suddenly start acting differently? Like you're suddenly "dead to them"? Yeah... Everyone I know hates that feeling. Especially since ghosting can happen anywhere, any time, in any situation. Just look around to see plenty of examples: Guy starts talking to cute girl... they hit it off... even schedule a date... And then BOOM... the guy gets ghosted! And the girl disappears forever. ...OR... Girl meets cute guy... they go on a few dates... things get intimate... And then BOOM... the guy suddenly loses interest, and starts ignoring the girl's messages! ...OR... Freelancer starts talking to a new potential client... they connect on a call... a proposal is sent over, ready to be signed... And then BOOM... the client turns silent... and no amount of follow-up changes that! Have you ever been in a situation like that, {NAME}? If you're like most people, you probably have. And when it happens, it stings... doesn't it? But the worst part? When the person who ghosts you is someone who has been super enthusiastic and communicative up until that point... ​ And then suddenly, RADIO SILENCE! ​ Yeah... That stings the most. When you already feel somewhat attached to the outcome you want. So... Here's the "Million-dollar question": Why TF do people ghost you? And more importantly: How to prevent it from ever happening to you again? ... .. . The first question is probably easier to answer than the second. People ghost you because that's what people do. It's a simple example of "taking the path of least resistance". Think about it, for a minute... What's easier for most people? A -- Confronting people directly and telling them a firm "NO" (while probably disappointing them and taking responsibility for your decision) or B -- Silently getting out of a difficult situation by not doing anything, and hoping that they'll forget about the whole thing (keeping your internal image of a "nice person" clean) Go ahead, I'll wait... ........................................ .................................. ............................. ........................ .................... ................ ............ ......... ....... ..... ... .. . duuuuuuuuh ​ OF COURSE it's B 😄 ​ B is waaaay easier... So that's why most people simply default to that. But, unfortunately... Like with most things in life, when you choose the easy way out of a situation, it actually creates more problems in the long run :( In this case: A much, much bigger strain on that personal relationship, compared to transparently saying "NO". Too bad most people don't realize that... until it's too late. And since the trend of NOT taking responsibility for our actions is increasing... You can probably expect more people you engage with to ghost you in the future. That's the uncomfortable truth. Now... What about the second question: How to prevent it from ever happening to you again? Well... This is actually way harder to answer. Not because there's no answer to it... But because everyone's situation is different. You see... There ARE lots of extra reasons why people tend to ghost you: ...Maybe it's your communication style ...Maybe you come off as needy and desperate ...Maybe they perceive you as annoying ​ Or... Maybe... You're just surrounded by people who tend to ghost in general! ​ And THAT, I think, holds the answer to our 2nd question. Because -- while you can't completely eliminate ghosting from your life -- you CAN drastically reduce it by attracting people who are more serious, professional, and conscientious in general. (it's the same as eliminating toxic people from your life) So how do you do that? How do you attract better-quality people into your life? By knowing what you want and showing up with confidence in what you do. That drastically cuts down the number of people who are likely to ghost you. Why? Because people who DON'T take responsibility tend to gravitate towards others who also DON'T take responsibility. Like attracts like. So next time you engage in a dialogue, try to show up confidently with a clear goal. It will work wonders in how people respond to that. Of course... Despite your best efforts, you'll still encounter clients / customers / lovers / friends who ghost from time to time... But don't take it personally. In 95% of cases, it's not about you... it's about THEM... and their own internal insecurities. (or they're just sociopaths who only care about using people :)) Makes sense? Good. Cause that's all I've got for you today. -Csaba ​ P.S. -- FUN EXPERIMENT TIME!!! 😁 If you've been on my list for some time... and you ghosted me at some point regarding something...
