In a romantic relationship or otherwise. I’m being ghosted over a job, so I ask randos on the internet about what they do. WBY?

Edit: Thanks everyone for the advice I’ve been trying to follow. It helps having it reinforced. It’s just hard for several reasons any of which would make it my top choice.

  1. It’s in the city my sister lives in. I haven’t lived near my family since I finished high school
  2. My job is inherently transient; I move every 1-2 years. This one gave me some permanency
  3. I’ve been doing the same thing for the last 10 years. This one gives me additional responsibilities
  4. It’s prestigious and would come with higher pay

I’ll be working on it, but like I said it’s tough. It’s almost like the universe gave me the perfect go fuck yourself.

    I despise people that ghost others and I see it as nothing but maladaptive and sad. A person who ghosts is someone who lacks enough empathy to understand how damaging it is to others, it’s someone who lacks conflict resolution skills, who internalized Internet block / unfriend buttons in their mind as a viable way to terminate any relationship.

    When I was younger, people didn’t do this shit. I grew up without the Internet and didn’t have it until I was an adult, younger people don’t realize it, but people didn’t use to do this, and it’s hurtful and infuriating how technology has affected this aspect of human behavior.
