Mine isn’t as interesting as all yours!

But I had an online friend who used to talk to me daily. We met online through a fan community. I didn’t mind the messages at first but then it was constant, multiple messages a day. More than I message anyone in my real life! Because she was younger than me, she started sending all these memes and Viral tweets that I just didn’t understand cos I’m too old I tried to phase her out by replying less. Then one day she suggested we meet up cos we were gonna be in London on the same day. That tipped it over the edge for me cos I thought we had an understanding it was a fandom friendship. I’d never even told her my name! Anyway I didn’t ghost, I was just (80%) honest and told her I needed to move on with my life and that I think we should stop talking to each other completely. I did feel really bad but she was very gracious, bless her.

Mine isn’t funny, just incredibly petty

first date, cinema - so already off to a bad start. He orders popcorn, I politely decline any food. Now what REALLY bugged me, and I don’t know why, was every 5-10 mins he’d pick up the popcorn, eat some, them put it back down. And repeat. Throughout the whole film. And I don’t know why but it really bothered me!!!! I remember at the time asking myself why it annoyed me so much - I still don’t know the answer

so yeah I stopped replying to him after that

I remember when I was 15 I ghosted a lad I was seeing for a while... he was nice enough but felt like I was under niagra falls when he kissed me for the first time. I genuinely felt sick.

Another time was when I was talking to someone on MSN for aaaaages ( he was a mutual friend) anyway we met up, and I didn't believe it was him. His picture looked like a completely different person, in real life his teeth were rotten and awful and he was a full on goth with acne allover his face. I felt like I had been done over, you know when in your head you have an expectation of someone and they are the complete opposite?! Gutting

I’ve somewhat ghosted my work colleagues this week and it feels emancipating. Our office is the size of a stationery cupboard and my colleagues are a married couple who are constantly complaining about others, passive aggressively undermining me, bragging and stroking each other’s egos.

My confidence has been chipped away at every day since the new term began and I had a cry on Sunday about the prospect of work on Monday.

I’m already feeling so much better only really having to engage during meeting time. I think that today they’ve started to twig somethings up, but I’ll be nice and maintain that I’ve got a lot of recording to do, a dance to rehearse and big projects that take up to much desk space so they wouldn’t want me there...

Probably being pretty and pedantic and thought too much into it but they became extremely clingy very quickly. I'd be busy and wouldn't speak to them for a day and they'd message 3-4 times with 'I miss you' and 'where are you?'. The compliments came in thick and fast and heavy af as well. They were eager to meet but we're in the middle of a pandemic (thank f#ck). I'd get random messages throughout the day like 'I adore you' or 'I think the world of you'. Then the 'you could move in with me' came (yes seriously) and it scared me off because it was just too full on right off the bat; we'd only been speaking for a few weeks! I'm totally not a romantic type and I certainly ain't one of those u-haul lesbians that's for damn sure. Yikes!

Sounds like my ex boyfriend, dirty toilet + the flop. I think you should listen to your gut and run, if he lives in South Yorkshire, count your blessings you listened to your gut and still run!

BUT... did you ever find out if he had flippers or feet?

Never brave enough. I saw him from a distance some years later with a woman and a child in a pushchair. I got as close as I dared to try and clock the child's feet. They were shod in woolly bootees' and it didn't look good. I'm going to hell.
