When someone leaves me on read or doesn’t follow up like they said they would, I’m honestly relieved. It gives me a chance to hit pause on the conversation. The same goes for last-minute cancelled phone calls or Zoom meetings—it’s such a relief! Ooof, lol.

I always tell anyone I’m dating that I won’t ghost them, and I expect us to keep the conversation consistent – but in the meantime I’d be totally fine if they ghosted me. Isn’t it great when a red flag takes itself out of the equation and gives you another easy day?

That’s basically how we introverts navigate all kinds of interpersonal communication. We put in the effort to be sincere, but we’re really happy when the weight is lifted off our shoulders!
