- My group of friends suddenly ghosted me without ever explaining why.
- I blamed myself and felt insecure because I never got closure.
- I'm still healing and learning to trust people again.
I texted my group chat one gloomy winter evening when I was 16, asking my friends to meet. When nobody replied to my text, I called them. The phone rang for a good 45 seconds before the call disconnected.
