7. Don’t make excuses for them
Don’t make excuses for people that aren’t willing to explain their actions or be accountable. In reality, we have no idea what people are thinking when they make these decisions, and no amount of excuses will help you figure out the answer. Making excuses for someone else is a way of lying to yourself – instead, simply accept the truth and don’t give any more brain space to this person.
8. Amp up the self-care
This can help get you to the moving on stage a little quicker. Spoil yourself at the spa if you can afford it or maybe just book a simple massage or mani/pedi. Treating yourself is always bound to cheer you up, so get your favorite treatment, splurge on your favorite dessert, and remember not to isolate yourself during this self-care time unless you really want to spend time alone. Instead, call up your mom or bestie!
9. Build resilience
The first thing to know about ghosting is that you shouldn’t take it personally. While we hope that this doesn’t happen again, at least it’s happened once before, so you can build up some resilience and inner strength. This comes from taking care of your mental and physical health as well as prioritizing compassion for yourself. Remember that it’s not you, it’s them. However, if you start seeing patterns arising and you’re getting ghosted a lot, it may be time for some self-reflection or time to consider if you keep picking the wrong type of potential partners.
