Yasmina believes that the key to combating ghosting lies in taking a more human-centered approach to digital connections. "We need to remember that there's a real person on the other side of the screen," she says. "We need to treat others with kindness, empathy, and respect – even if we're just communicating online."
"I was really into this person, and I thought we had a great conversation," Yasmina recalls. "But suddenly, they just stopped responding. No explanation, no nothing. It was like I was invisible."
Yasmina's experience is not unique. According to a recent survey, over 70% of people have been ghosted at some point in their lives. But what does this say about our society, and how can we address the underlying issues that lead to this kind of behavior?
