# Ghosting
When I "ghost" someone these days, it is accidental. The few times I ghosted someone on purpose in the past, I felt horrible doing so. This is a behavior I seek to avoid and haven't done in years.
I think the problem with purposefully ghosting is that it's not clear. It is a really shitty means of communication in most situations.
I want to practice being straightforward. Which means I want to stop purposefully or accidentally ghosting.
Part of the reason I have ghosted accidentally is that I have too many people to interact with. I usually ghost for the same reason I drop the 5th juggling ball.
