whenever people use weird terminology like "ghosting", "curving", "leaving on read", "gaslighting", etc... I just wonder what the point is? why is all of that bullshit so common that there has to be terms for it? one would think that being a normal, socially competent person implies that you can express your emotions clearly and maturely. instead it's literally the exact opposite. your social competence is actually measured by your ability to communicate via "subtle signs" and "playing games"
honestly I think the vast majority of interpersonal relationships in general (not just romantic) are completely superficial and/or material. very few people on this Earth can genuinely relate and empathize with each other. this is a big part a part of why there's so many people going to therapy nowadays, too. people don't feel comfortable venting to their "friends" because the average person is a narcissistic predator and if you make yourself vulnerable in front of them, they'll take the opportunity to pounce
