Ghosting
Stable🌍UniversalDefinition
Cutting off all communication with someone without explanation. No texts, no calls, no social media interaction. You just... disappear like a ghost.
Translation for Parents
When someone 'ghosts' your kid, they stopped responding completely — no warning, no explanation, no goodbye. It's the digital version of someone just walking away mid-conversation and never coming back. It's genuinely hurtful and your kid might need a hug about it.
Examples
“He ghosted me after three dates”
“He stopped responding to all my messages after three dates”
“Don't ghost me bro I thought we were friends”
“Don't just stop talking to me, I thought we were friends”
