KEY POINTS

On ‘What’s Trending’, hosts Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and guest therapist Ryan Heapy discuss why ghosting is on the rise and the damaging psychological impacts it can have.

Ghosting & Selfishness

Those with “dark triad” traits often lack empathy and prioritize their own needs over others. Ghosting is an easy way for them to avoid uncomfortable conversations or feelings of responsibility.

The Impact on Victims

Ghosting can be confusing, frustrating, and damaging to self-esteem. It makes people question themselves and can discourage them from wanting to date in the future.

Red Flags to Watch For

Look for early signs of manipulation, gaslighting, or behaviors that don’t align with what the person is telling you. These could indicate someone with “dark triad” tendencies.
