Before They Leave

You can handle a no. A no gives you an answer. But ghosting? Your brain does not know what to do with silence, so it keeps replaying the story. Research HBR has cited shows social rejection lights up some of the same brain regions as physical pain. The pain was real. This episode names the four situations that produce ghosting and reframes it entirely. Ghosting is not what they did to you. It is what they could not say to you.
