Always up for a chat
I agree, ghosting is necessary in many situations. Am a guy, have reluctantly ghosted both men and women (from a casual friend / professional point of view, rather than romantic) not because I think I’ll be yelled at (or worse) but if the vibe is wrong, it’s self protection - I don’t want to engage with them, full stop.
Love that luck analogy, I’ll be using that.
When I’m told I’ve been lucky, it’s sometimes that I’ve just been really deliberate and considered in my actions.
