Is My Friend Busy or Just Ghosting Me?

Ever had that friend who used to text you back faster than you could hit send, but now suddenly acts like your messages are made of hot lava? That’s me and my friend Jake. At first, I figured he was just drowning in work—who isn’t these days? But after the fifth “Sorry, just swamped!” and him dodging me at our favorite pizza spot, I started to wonder if I’d developed invisibility powers overnight. 😅 It stings when someone who used to crack up at your bad puns now gives you dry, one-word replies. But here’s the twist: sometimes, it’s not about you. I finally asked Jake—gently—if something was up. If he wasn’t ready to talk, I reminded myself to focus on friends who actually want to hang out. Life’s too short to chase ghosts. 👻 FriendshipStruggles #Ghosting #RealTalk #FriendshipStruggles #Ghosting #RealTalk
