Have you ever been ghosted like Billie Eilish?
鈥nd why does it hurt so much?
She may be one of music's biggest stars, but it turns out even Billie Eilish is not immune to being ghosted. The 鈥楤ad Guy鈥� singer recently opened up about her experience on a 大象传媒 podcast, and it got us thinking about why ghosting feels so pervasive and hurtful.
So, in this episode, we鈥檙e chatting about all things ghosting: where the term came from, what it means, and why it makes us feel so bad. We hear from listeners in Colombia, Nigeria, the United States and France who have been ghosted - or done the ghosting. And Sylvia Anim - a psychosexual therapist in London - shares tips on how to look out for yourself if it happens to you.
