Ask Sahaj: I was ghosted by a lifelong friend. How do I move on?
I have just experienced a “ghosting” experience with a dear friend — a friend with whom I shared the deepest emotions, yearly holiday traditions, weekly phone calls. She and her husband have been there for me at every twist and turn of life.
I have sent loving emails to them and practically begged her to tell me what she thinks was so horrible. She knows that I am a trauma survivor with lifelong abandonment vulnerabilities. She knows that this hurts me at a core level. Ghosting can erode self-esteem and increase feelings of self-doubt. It makes sense that your feelings of abandonment have been triggered, and that you may be resorting to learned behavior of self-blaming. I applaud you for seeking professional support to help you through this; it will be essential as you navigate the impact this has caused.
