By now, we’re all fairly familiar with the concept of ghosting—when someone disappears from your life completely with no explanation, no goodbye, no nothing. Sometimes they might unfriend or block you from social media. Other times, they’ll keep living their life in full public view.
The HBO® series Insecure recently explored the emotional residue of ghosting in the episode “Obsessed-Like” (S3 E7). It was only a matter of time until this topic was covered in depth on a major television series because it’s become so commonplace—I think most of us can admit we’ve done it or had it done to us at least once.
In the example played out in Insecure, Issa Rae’s character with the same first name is ghosted by a man she went on several dates with and began to develop a connection with. The episode shows how Issa questions (as many do) and analyzes anything she ever said or did with this guy to find a possible explanation as to why he disappeared in a puff of ninja smoke.
There are those who claim they don’t experience any of these feelings and instead write it off to the commonality of ghosting. But if you did feel a connection, giving up the ghost can be hard. It’s rejection without a real ending or even a semblance of an explanation, which can be painful. And if you saw potential for a real relationship, letting those hopes go without a concrete ending is difficult.
