Description
Today we talk about ghosting, and know that f you've ever been ghosted, you're not alone. The statistics show that at least 1/3 have suffered through this phenomenon, with some stats showing much higher rates. We discuss some research about how it impacts people (both the ghostee and the ghoster!), and what we can do to shift these behaviors in our society.
