I will admit to ghosting, especially if I get drunk and hungry and no one else is interesting in eating, or more likely, I feel like eating alone. It's not that I mind people seeing me eating, it's just that sometimes I don't care to be social while I eat.

Alternatively, I sometimes ghost if I don't like the crowd, or the dynamic feels weird to me, but in general, if someone made an effort to personally invite me to something, I feel like I am obligated to do them the courtesy of at least thanking them for the invitation and to set vague future plans (which I tend to act on) to do something with them at another time, as per my upbringing.

I was going to respond to this, but now I'm just going to leave.. without a trace....

Ghosting actually does exist online. I'm not doing it right now, but I am calling it a night on Hubski. It's only 11:15 here, plenty of time to go create some "music" and I've got some whiskey.....

Oh, with enough whiskey, nothing sounds that horrible (lie). Monkeying around with music is fun, especially while drinking whiskey.
