We all know ghosting is trash, but have you heard of ‘ghostlighting’? It’s the new toxic trend that’s honestly terrifying. Basically, instead of just disappearing, the person manipulates you first.
They make you question your own sanity, deny things that happened, and shift all the blame onto you right before they vanish. It’s like ghosting mixed with gaslighting. Psychologists say it usually comes from emotional immaturity and a fear of confrontation.
