When Your Friend Ghosts You

When your friend ghosts you, then all you have left is this kind of spiritual or mental memory that haunts you. When we create strong bonds with our friends, we get a flood of oxitosin and internal opioids - the same system that's activated in a mother and baby during nursing. So when a good friend disappears, all of a sudden, stephen says, it's possible to go through a kind of withdrawal. Some research suggests ghosting can lead to something called ambiguous loss where your grief is frozen because you don't have closure.
