I don't like having to ghost people

Hi:

I am here because I need to get this off my chest. After all, I don't like the thought of ghosting someone. However, this situation is different.

This person was not only difficult to communicate with but always seemed like one of those people who always found something to complain about.    Beyond that, they were very hard to please.   I could not even compliment her. 

She also expected a lot out of me by not only wanting to talk on the phone with me and that she expected me to connect her with people.   Then when I did try to help her, that was not good enoigh.   Then she suddenly said that she didn't like me and that I always like to do everything my way.

So when we both agreed that it was not a good idea for us to communicate, I told her how I felt and that I also seconded it that we were not a good pair.   However, she attempted to write me a few messages but I just ignored them.   The main reason is because she was so combative.

@Summershy,

so you both agreed communicating is not a good idea.

Yet she did contact you. And you ignore her. That's not ghosting. You had an agreement and you're sticking with it.

She first of all asked me not to contact her anymore and I agreed to that.   However, I responded to one of those messages by mentioning we were not a good pair.   However, she wrote me back a few times and I read what she wrote but didn't respond.     I also didn't respond because I didn't feel like having her hook me back into her toxic behavior patterns.

See that’s where I felt like I have been ghosting her by not responding anymore

@Summershy, 

you're not ghosting.

Ghosting is one of those nowadays buzzwords that is too easily used and abused.

You're done communicating,  nothing more nothing less, nothing wrong with that.

I think you are right because "Ghosting" just means "Going no contact."    Yes, I have simply had no contact with this person.    However,  I hated having to ignore her last few messages because I like to communicate.   On the other hand,  I feel better not talking to her anymore because she was being mean.
