Let’s talk about GHOSTING for a second.
We’ve all been there. Being ghosted sucks.
Especially if you are in your 30s or older, you just expect people to be mature and aware enough to know that up front communication. Even if it’s rejection, it feels WAY better than them just dropping off the face of the earth.
Because when someone actually has the balls to just tell you, “Hey, it was nice hanging out with you. But, I don’t see this really working out. Best of luck to you.”
It’s like, Oh wow! Thank you for being honest. I might feel bummed or sad, BUT now I KNOW not to waste any more energy even considering you or thinking about you. What a breath of fresh air!
Because unfortunately, communication skills these days are subpar. Let’s be honest.
Instead of respecting you, respecting your energy, and valuing you as a human being, TOO MANY men (and women!!!) would rather avoid confrontation and communication all together.
And it feels so frustrating doesn’t it? It’s a very powerful feeling that’s hard to stay aware of and not react, and give into the urge to reach out and call them out.
It’s such an uncomfortable feeling that we feel compelled to take action and DO something about it, instead of do the hard thing and sit with these feelings…
This is because it triggers a lot of deep abandonment fears in us. It brings up all of these feelings of abandonment, which then makes us wonder what we did wrong, can make is question our self worth, etc. Basically sends us down the rabbit hole of devaluing ourselves in our minds.
But I want to make something clear. Someone’s inability to communicate has NOTHING to do with your WORTH as a person.
So, what if you just refused to take it personally?
How might that change how you perceive these behaviors??
For me, instead of wondering what was wrong with ME, it got me wondering what the f*ck is wrong with THEM for not being able to simply state the truth? It’s not hard to say, “It was nice meeting you, and I’m not feeling it.” Or whatever it is!?
It takes one minute to text that out and send it. A text takes hardly any effort, and they can’t even give you that?… 😒
Are their egos seriously THAT big that they are worried their rejection is gonna hurt my feelings?? 🤣
Their lack of communication actually communicates their immaturity and inability to have the difficult conversations that are GOING to come up down the road. It also communicates that they don’t respect you enough to tell it how it is.
So, at the end of the day, is this someone you even want to give you energy to??? Probably not!!! They are showing you how they show up. Pay attention🤔
So instead of letting it activate you… getting your inner boy, your masculine energy ready to FIGHT for you, cuz man, your boy wants to DO something. He wants to defend your sacred girl. Man, how dare he! He’s wants to defend and protect! The urge to reach out, call him out, to initiate contact is SO strong… I know.
I want you to take a deeep breath. Tell yourself, “I love you part of me that’s angry. I love you part of me that wants to reach out. I love you inner boy for wanting to fight for me. I love you part of me that’s upset.”
Imagine giving this part of you a big hug, sending love into it.
And then say, “AND, this is incredibly unattractive behavior. I’m not going that direction. This is a TURN OFF, and I want nothing to do with this type of man.”
And do that as often as you need to, as often as those feelings come up.
Acknowledge them, feel them in your body, and re-wire your brain to be TURNED OFF by this behavior by simply telling yourself this, over and over.
You might have to take additional steps to not reach out. If you’re struggling to not send him that text, or keep wanting to reach out… I want you to delete his number.
Make it so you cannot contact him. Yes, I know FB and IG exist. You can delete and archive the conversations if you need to. But by deleting his number, and taking that particular action, gives some power back to you here.
You do NOT need to reach out and tell him what an dumba** he is for not being able to simply communicate. Don’t even send him that text.
You know when you’re being ignored. Do not give him one more ounce of your prescious energy that he clearly does not respect…
Delete his contact information, unfriend him, remove him from your phone. And remind yourself, you deserve someone who is emotionally mature enough, and who respects you enough to tell you the truth, even when it’s hard.
And if he turns back up again? You can say “Your inability to communicate is a huge turn off for me. And I have no interest in a relationship with someone who blatantly disrespected me.”
😘😘😘😘
There are men out there who will respect you and your time and energy, and you deserve someone who’s willing to at least try to communicate.
Love you guys! Let me know how this resonates with you.
