Calling out a Friend Who Ghosted You

What to say to a friend who ghosted you?

“Take the time to send a handwritten letter and just say, ‘Hey, I’ve missed you. I wanted to reach out. You mean a lot to me. I’d love to have a conversation about our friendship.

Should I reach out to a friend who ghosted me?

“Ghosting can be painful because it increases anxiety when you don’t have closure,” therapist Amanda Turecek, LMFT, LAC, tells Bustle. So go ahead and let the person know how you feel. You could even go on to call off the friendship, or announce you won’t be reaching out again.
