If they were so into you, why did they disappear in the first place? Here&#8217;s some insight into this trend and what to do if they come back to you after disappearing on you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Ignore them.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You have every right to ignore this person and block their number so they can&#8217;t reach you again. If you were ghosted by someone with whom you thought you had a real connection and want closure, then read on for other options. There are plenty of ways you can get over someone who ghosted you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Inquire as to what occurred.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now&#8217;s your chance to let them have it. Ask them something like, &#8220;What the heck happened?&#8221; or &#8220;Where did you go?&#8221; and see what they say.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Pretend you don&#8217;t know them.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You might want to ghost them back, but that might not feel satisfying. An alternative reply is to ask, &#8220;Who&#8217;s this?&#8221; and show you&#8217;ve already moved on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Ask them to chat on video.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I suggest they have a video chat so you can see if what they&#8217;re saying sounds genuine. You&#8217;ll also be able to see if their verbal and non-verbal communication are in sync.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Ask why they&#8217;re contacting you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This question might seem low-key and casual, but it&#8217;s actually pretty deep and will give you a good insight into where they&#8217;re at.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Inform them that they must apologize.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is another direct message you can send them if you&#8217;re still angry and upset about what they did to you. They have to know that they have to respect you because you&#8217;re not going to ignore bad behavior. If they wanted a doormat, they got the wrong number, ladies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Have fun with yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes there&#8217;s nothing more satisfying than sending a witty line to someone who&#8217;s been a jackass. &#8220;Never thought I&#8217;d speak to a real-life zombie!&#8221; or &#8220;So you&#8217;re not lying dead in a gutter but just ignoring me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Trust your instincts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you feel like you&#8217;ve been ghosted by someone, or have ghosted someone in the past, listen to your inner voice and let it direct you to the right response that you won&#8217;t later regret. Listen to your gut and be honest with yourself about what you want to hear from this person.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Don&#8217;t reply immediately.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you receive an e-mail or phone message from someone you feel like you&#8217;ve heard from for a long time, don&#8217;t get caught up in the surprise. Instead, take some time to think about how you feel and listen to your gut before responding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Don&#8217;t get re-ghosted<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t want to find yourself in that situation, so make sure that you&#8217;re comfortable with how you&#8217;re going to reply to them. If you jump into a conversation only to be left hanging mid-convo because they don&#8217;t have time for you again, you&#8217;ll kick yourself and wish you hadn&#8217;t given them the time of day. Maybe they should just go away and stay away for good!<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: Intimacy (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
